Try to find a good spot to settle and grow some food, because other players may soon arrive as your children, and will need to be taken care of until they are grown enough to help you.

A sharp stone may be your best friend in the beginning. You need to build a fire to stay warm and trap rabbits to get meat and furs for clothes. Sometimes you will spawn alone in the wilderness. Try to make life a little bit easier for those who come after you, so your family line will have a chance to prosper for generations to come. A single life is limited, but the things you make during your lifetime are left for your children and grandchildren once you are gone.

Every minute of real time is one year in the game and your maximum age is 60 years. You are born either as a baby to one of the other players, or as a young woman if no suitable mother is found. If you have played the original game, you will recognize Jason's cute and quirky graphics and sounds, as well as the wonderful premise: rebuilding civilization from scratch, together with other players and across countless generations. We are independent developers and the mobile game world resides on our servers.

We have added additional play modes as well as changes to make it play better on touchscreens. This is the unofficial expanded version of Jason Rohrer's desktop game 'One Hour One Life', adapted for iOS.
