1 in 8 Billion is a life simulation game in which you live a life that is decided by probability and real-world statistics from birth to old age. You don’t choose your country or family in the beginning, but you can mould your future with choices about school, career, health and relationships. Every game brings a distinct fate, to highlight how where you are born and life chances may affect a person’s journey.
The game's genius is in its utilisation of real-world demographic, economic, and social data to design the character's journey, which is the highlight of 1 in 8 Billion. You can start in one of 172 countries, the family and living situations are assigned by a simulation method.
A character may be raised in a decent environment, well educated, and have various employment opportunities. Other characters are limited by health, finances, or educational options. That diversity makes every start a different story.
You will follow a character from childhood to old age, making decisions on education, career, health and relationships. Each option can affect different parts of their lives.
But they can't control it all. Social environment, family situation and unexpected events can affect the direction of the character. You have to think about the value of learning, staying well, making yourself happier, and forming relationships with people.
Besides, Auto Mode lets you watch life unfold automatically without having to make decisions all the time. You can also change the speed of the simulation to keep up with events more quickly.
1 in 8 Billion doesn't provide you a definite target to win. The good thing about the game is that it shows how two lives can be different from the very start. It makes you think about how circumstances and personal choices are related.
If you're interested in stories moulded by probability, data and human decisions, start a new cycle and discover where the next life takes you.
