The Story

You live and you learn, but you can never go back…but what if you could? What if you could make mistakes, learn from them, and then do it again, but better?

Explore what your life will be like over the next 15 years as you go on a journey of self-discovery and make the big decisions and the day-to-day choices; however, life never goes according to plan and you must face setbacks and life-changing events all while trying to accomplish your goals.

In the end, discover the tradeoffs made between work and relationships, social impact and self-care, to help you identify your core values, recognize your motivations, and assess whether your decisions lead to a life well-lived.

Here’s the chance to live out life through a simulation and make decisions big and small, while thinking about your values and resources and whether you are living consistently within your beliefs.
