What if you just never came to life at all? I thought that maybe I could retrace myself back to teenager if I played through again, but I was shocked to see this: Annoyed, I gave it a few more seconds and refreshed, and was flabbergasted when I saw it had kicked me back to the intro, before "you" are born. So I tried the same PHYSICAL episode again, another 404. My spot in the game was still saved, to my surprise. I closed the tab and went about my usual business, then after giving a minute I went back to my game. I clicked it out of curiousity, a little frightened, and I got a stupid 404 error.Īpparently the site was undergoing maintenence or something and I just happened to use a turn right when they brought the site down. One of the episodes was a "PHYSICAL" episode, which dictated that either you'd get sick or break something, or you'd discover a chest hair, something like that. By that time things started to get quite uneasy, which was unusual because things usually didn't go wrong on the site itself. I clicked through the usual intro of "What if you could live your life over again?" and all that, then played for a few hours until my Ego became a teenager. I went back to the website that the game was on and decided to start a new game. For me, things got a little too real when I decided to revisit the game.
What I liked about it was that in each "episode" you never knew what was going to happen to you next, and since you could die at any point, it was almost a little scary. But then I started to miss the game a little, what with its quirky adult situations and the dark humour that some of the "episodes" contained.
I used to have little profiles on the browser game myself, until I got bored with it. Nowadays, it's been made into a web game you can play right in your browser. It was essentially The Sims before The Sims. You never knew what was about to happen to your character, and it was possible to die at literally ANY point in the game. Have you heard of a game called Alter Ego? In the 1980's-90's it was an old text-based computer game where you'd "live" a seperate, entire life, through a series of randomized "episodes" from birth all the way to death.
