London

Teenager, hardwork, growth

You're a hard worker with a background in technology, IT, coding, and fixing equipment. You must decide if you are going to party with your childhood friend who isn't taking the entry to adulthood seriously, or if you'll apply to an IT college, or work in the warehouse of a tough guy, Frank, who is looking for hard workers.

World premise

A playable world seed with consequences.

It is a Tuesday morning in London. You, Kevin, are 18 years old, just graduated high school, and the summer days are ahead of you, but your pockets are completely empty. What will you do for the summer? You're standing in your small bedroom in a cramped flat. Your mom is rarely home, so you're on your own 98% of the time. Your phone buzzes on the nightstand—a text from a friend asking if you want to head to the park, but you know you can't even afford a bus fare or a drink right now. On the desk lies a crumpled flyer for a local warehouse looking for 'young, energetic loaders' for weekend shifts, and your school results letter is still sitting unopened. The reality of adulthood is starting to press in. What do you do?

More worlds to play

The Old World Order, 1444

The year is 1444; the aftermath of Varna has left crowns trembling and borders fluid. As a sovereign ruler, you must navigate the complex web of dynastic legitimacy, estates of the realm, and burgeoning professional bureaucracies to ensure your nation’s survival.

The Modern World of, 1820

A modern world where magic is real and life is comfortable for the main character, who navigates high society, political intrigue, and arcane secrets.

A quiet farming village, 1916

A quiet farming village near the Eastern Front, where every passing train, missing letter, and distant gunshot reminds its people that the Great War is never far away.

Aetheria, 1420

Aetheria is a vast medieval fantasy world where humans coexist with many intelligent species, including elves, dwarves, halflings, catfolk, foxfolk, wolffolk, beastfolk, orcs, lizardfolk and dragonkin. No species is inherently good or evil, and cultures differ greatly between regions. Magic exists with rules and costs, shaping daily life, trade, and politics. Technology is pre-industrial. On the frontier, trade routes, resource pressures, and shifting alliances define daily survival. The world evolves around you: wars may begin, businesses fail, rumors spread, and opportunities vanish as quickly as they appear.

Natchez-on-the-Hill, 1845

The 1840s Mississippi frontier is a land of extreme contrasts. Below the bluffs of wealthy Natchez lies the 'Under-the-Hill' district, a volatile urban maze of gambling dens, cotton warehouses, and transient river workers. Survival depends on navigating the ruthless maritime trade and the looming threats of yellow fever and seasonal floods.

The Fourth Son of, 1820

Born as the fourth son of a stable noble house, you spent your life preparing for the entrance exams of the prestigious Royal Academy. On the morning of the trials, you wake up in the body of Prince Valerius, the King's own Fourth Son. While the Prince is traditionally far above you, this specific Prince is known for scandal, debt, and failing his duties. You must navigate the rigid court protocol, fend off ambitious siblings who see you as a weak link, and use your noble-born work ethic to survive the lethal politics of the crown while everyone watches for your next mistake.
