Born in China

Born in China throws you into a randomly picked life somewhere between 400 BC and 1940, then hands you the reins one year at a time. Each year brings a small decision: whether to study, who to marry, whether to flee a war or stay and protect what you have. Those choices quietly shift your lifespan and steer you toward one of many endings. It is free to play in your browser, nothing to download, and it runs smoothly on a phone, so a whole lifetime fits into a coffee break. Finish one run and you will want to roll again just to see a different era.
