Onceborn on iPad: A text game for iPhone and iPad
What it is

Another life — in one book

Onceborn is a game-book. Life moves in events: school, first love, work, losses. In every event you choose, and your choices add up to a fate. At the end — the verdict: who you were and what came of it.

Features

How a life works

  • A woman reading a letter by a rainy window

    Stories

    Every life is its own: country, family, the cards you’re dealt. Nothing repeats.

  • An empty armchair with knitting, a cat by the fireplace

    Consequences

    What you chose at nine comes back at forty. The world remembers.

  • A young man with a suitcase on a platform, his mother waving

    Choices

    Two or three paths in every event. No right answer — just yours.

Worlds

Born Elsewhere is free. Other worlds unlock separately; one life in any of them is free to try.
