Creator Guide

LIVORA is built for creators who like games where choices actually mean something.

This is a browser-based life simulation strategy game about trying to build a stable life under modern pressure. It is not a fantasy adventure, a budgeting app, or a simple life quiz. Players choose a starting life, make daily decisions, manage competing pressures, and watch the consequences carry forward through money, work, health, relationships, bills, messages, reports, life stages, and endings.

The core hook is simple:

Build a life. Survive the cost.

LIVORA works well for Let’s Plays, challenge runs, reaction-style content, decision-making videos, “can I survive?” formats, and creator-led commentary around modern life choices. The game naturally creates discussion because there are rarely perfect answers. A cheaper decision may damage energy. A kind decision may cost money. A career move may improve the future while making the present harder. Viewers can debate what they would do, whether the player made the right call, and what kind of life the run is becoming.

Good coverage angles include:

Can I survive the first month?
Trying to build a stable life from nothing.
Making every “responsible” choice in LIVORA.
What happens if I ignore my health?
Can I balance rent, work, relationships, and burnout?
The life sim where not every cost is money.
One bad decision changed everything.
Playing LIVORA like a realist vs playing it like an optimist.

LIVORA is designed to be easy to start and easy to cover. It runs in browser, requires no download, and can be added to the home screen or installed as a web app where supported. The in-game phone acts as the main hub, giving creators clear visual material through messages, bills, calendar pressure, money, choices, reports, stats, and life outcomes.

The game has a grounded, adult tone, but it should still be presented as a game first: strategy, simulation, choice, consequence, pressure, replayability, and outcomes.

Campaign Information

We are looking for creators and press who are interested in modern life simulation, strategy, choices-matter games, narrative systems, social pressure, cost-of-living themes, and realistic consequence-driven gameplay.

Coverage can focus on the free trial, the opening Life setup, the first 7 in-game days, or a longer Life Run which a key will be provided for full access. The free trial covers the first 7 in-game days. Full access allows that same Life to continue through weeks, months, years, life stages, birthdays, long-term consequences, endings, and final reports.

Suggested coverage focus:

Show the Life setup and starting situation.
Play through the early days and react to the choices.
Explain the pressure systems as they appear naturally.
Let viewers debate the decisions.
Follow the consequences into reports and later events.
Try a themed run, challenge run, or “what would I actually do?” run.

LIVORA is best covered as a modern life strategy simulator where the player is not trying to become rich or achieve a simple high score. The real question is whether they can build a life that remains liveable financially, emotionally, socially, physically, and practically.

Game Information

LIVORA is a realistic long-life strategy simulator about trying to build a stable life under modern pressure.

You begin by creating a Life. You choose an identity, starting situation, language and currency settings, comfort options, and pressure level. Each Life begins from a grounded starting point rather than a blank slate.

Starting lives include situations such as:

A private renter in full-time work.
Someone living with family while trying to move out.
A house-share career switcher.
A burned-out professional.
A single parent.
A freelancer.
A new business owner.
Someone rebuilding after debt.
Someone recently made redundant.
A caregiver balancing work and family responsibility.

Every day presents moments and scenarios shaped by the player’s current situation. You make choices about rent, bills, food, work, health, messages, admin, relationships, support, opportunities, boundaries, recovery, and long-term stability.

There is rarely a perfect answer.

A cheaper option may damage energy.
A kind option may cost money.
A career decision may improve the future while increasing pressure now.
Avoiding a problem may preserve today but create a larger consequence later.

LIVORA tracks more than money. Core systems include money, income, rent, debt, energy, mental load, relationships, social connection, stability, future margin, self-respect, status, job security, housing, health, family, caregiving, education, business, and relationship status.

Choices can have immediate effects, but many consequences return later as bills, messages, pressure spikes, opportunities, conflicts, delayed costs, recovery routes, or Life Report entries.

A Life in LIVORA has memory. It remembers what the player protects, what they postpone, what they repair, who they ignore, when they ask for help, what they keep carrying, and which pressures become normal.

Over time, a Life can change. Players may move home, lose or change work, enter or leave relationships, become a parent, care for family, take courses, start a business, experience burnout, recover, fall into debt, rebuild, age, and reach later-life chapters.

The game is less about “winning” and more about discovering the pattern your decisions create.

The in-game phone is the main life-management hub. It lets players check messages, money, bills, calendar pressure, work, relationships, goals, reports, support routes, settings, and the Pressure Forecast. Reports summarize what the Life is becoming, with weekly, monthly, yearly, life-stage, and final reports reflecting the player’s actual choices and consequences.

Creator Notes

LIVORA is strongest when creators talk through their decisions out loud. The best moments often come from explaining why a choice feels sensible, risky, selfish, kind, necessary, or impossible — then seeing what the game remembers later.

Recommended framing:

This is a life simulation strategy game.
The choices are grounded and consequence-driven.
The pressure is realistic, but the experience is still playable and creator-friendly.
The appeal is not just surviving financially; it is seeing what kind of life the player builds under pressure.
