Players choose from multiple response options that influence personality, health, and future scenarios, with each choice carrying long-term consequences that can lead to different outcomes including early death or game over. The gameplay unfolds through a life tree structure with situation cards representing thematic encounters, and players can manage relationships, careers, and lifestyle choices as their character ages, with separate male and female versions available.
