The Way Of Life highlights moments from childhood, adulthood, and old age, examining moments of existence from perspectives of characters at each of these ages. These times come with happiness and sadness in this emotionally-driven game, and players will be forced to make life-altering decisions that, ultimately, choose each of these three lives will lead.
The Way Of Life stars three characters at different points in life: a child, an adult, and an old man. The developers have pushed to make players feel ‘their age’ by adding certain design mechanics to drive it home. For example, when you’re a child you have much greater range of movement and colors are bright. Life is exciting, of course! Compare that to adulthood, where the world seems a bit bleaker and apathetic, and the world doesn’t seem as big as it used to.
With each moment in life comes choices for these three protagonists, with the end results dictating how your life unravels. These decisions won’t be easy, either, exploring subjects from bullying to euthanasia. The Way Of Life doesn’t turn its head from these dark tones, but merely contrasts them with the joys of life, like love and growth.
Which is kind of what life is all about, right?
