What kind of game is this?
1 in 8 Billion: Pixel Life Sim is a life simulator for iPhone. Start with a random birthplace in one of 196 countries, grow up, make decisions, and follow a life shaped by real-world context and fictional events.
How do the years move forward?
Years advance automatically while you play. Tap the central Age control to pause or resume, use the speed control for 1× or 2×, or hold to skip to the next decision. The timer pauses for choices and open sheets.
Can I play offline?
Yes. The game includes a full set of stories and data. When you are online, it can download new story content for a future life. Purchases, restoring purchases, and external sharing may need an internet connection.
What is free, and what is optional?
Every random life is free to play through, and the Album and standard share card are free. Passport is an optional one-time purchase for choosing your birth, replay and unlimited Keepsakes. A Keepsake is an optional purchase for one life, adding framed records and share frames. There is no subscription; the purchase sheet shows current prices.
Where are my lives saved?
Your progress and Album stay on your device. The app keeps the 100 most recent full life records and retains lives marked as Keepsakes too. There is no game account or built-in cloud save. See our privacy policy for device backups, content downloads and optional purchases.
