How random birth works in UMARE

A starting point you do not choose

The globe spins, then stops on a birthplace. A country, a family, a name and a standard of living give your character a context. Rather than building an ideal avatar, you discover a life to accompany.

A life choices game

From childhood to old age, scenes offer decisions. Family, studies, love and work: choices can affect health, happiness, energy, skills, money and relationships. The same decision can mean different things in different circumstances.

Characters and memories

Relationships change over the years. Some events become memories in your timeline. The final summary looks back on that personal story; you can then begin a new life.

Statistics and fiction

Characters and events are fictional. Contexts draw on public data, including the World Bank. The game simplifies reality: it does not predict anyone’s destiny or represent every experience in a country. Explore the data and its limits.
