Hello!
The DEFINITIVE EDITION has been updated! The big news is, as you can probably tell from the name of the update, the Linux edition! That’s right, you can now play The Way of life: DEFINITIVE EDITION on your Linux computer!
We’ve been busy working on the Linux porting, but that’s not all: we fixed a few bugs that slipped past playtesting and updated the game Hub. For the full list of changes, read below.
- Settings: the VSync options are now properly saved, and will not reset on game start;
- Windowed mode: it should now work properly and on every resolution;
- Sounds: added missing footsteps sound in a few locations;
- Texts: fixed a few typos;
- Tutorial: the symbols on the Library Keys are now displaying correctly when picked up;
- Hub: the doors have been slightly altered to show which ones hold game levels inside. Indicators on each game door now show which level endings have been completed, so it’s easier to spot from the center of the hub which levels you haven’t played yet and how many endings you are missing.
- Fixed minor bugs and glitches.

To complete the whole game, unlocking every trophy and every achievement, the average player will need approximately 10 hours. If you want, you can get through the game in about 4 hours, playing each level only once.

The most difficult level to create for us, from a design point, was the tutorial. Overall we tried 5 completely different iterations before setting on the one you’ll find in the DEFINITIVE EDITION.
CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT
One of the best teacher around. Be careful not to upset her, or you’ll be in trouble!

FEATURE SPOTLIGHT
We’ve already talked about choices in Road to Release #1. We want to expand a little bit by talking about how choices impact the game ending. Every level is open from the beginning and replayable, but only the first choice the player take in a level will be recorded for the ending. So if you play through one level for the first time and you are dissatisfied with your choice, you can replay it any time you want, but the first choice you took is the one that’s going to influence the final ending.
FUN FACT
Back in February 2017 The Way of Life Game Director Davide was invited by Microsoft to showcase the game at their GDC event in San Francisco. It was his first time flying. After a 16 hours flight, he swore never to set foot on a plane again.
CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT
Music is her passion. She expresses angst through her guitar. Member of the Howling Dungeon heavy metal band.

TWL: DEFINITIVE EDITION - Road to Release #3
Hello! Welcome to The Way of life: DEFINITIVE EDITION road to release, stage 3! If you don’t know already, the game will be out on March 15th, after almost 3 years of development. We are going to post a new announcement every other day with a bunch of info, insights and curiosities about the game and its development. Follow us along until the game is released!
FEATURE SPOTLIGHT
Did you know that the three characters are related to each other? The Kid is the Adult’s son and the Oldman’s nephew. Even if all the experiences are open and accessible from the very beginning, all stories are in some way linked, and it is possible to trace a timeline if you play all the experiences!
FUN FACT
During production we assigned a code name to each character, main or secondary, based on their predominant color. For example, we called the Kid “Red”, the Adult “Blue” and the Oldman is “Brown”. We did this to better organize the project and to improve visual identification of each character, so that every character would be instantly recognized based on their color.
CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT
You probably shouldn’t trust this guy, even if he could help you.

FEATURE SPOTLIGHT
After watching the trailer, someone commented on the presence of guns in the game. Today in this feature spotlight we want to touch on that a bit. Even if the game features guns in a couple of experiences, those are just a small fraction of the whole game, and both times it is well contextualized. They are not there for the sake of it! If, after watching the trailer, you are scared of finding another game with guns… rest assured! That’s not what The Way of Life: DEFINITIVE EDITION is about!
FUN FACT
The first prototype of The Way of Life was created over the weekend of January 26th 2014 during Global Game Jam 2014. That means The Way of Life has been around for a little more than 4 years!
CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT
This character is an artist and a rebel inside. He believes he can change the world with his art.

FEATURE SPOTLIGHT
In the DEFINITIVE EDITION of the game, there are more than 75 choices to make! What does that mean exactly? Each level has 2 or more choices (some more obvious than others) that the player will need to face. Every choice will lead to a different ending of the level, and If you can find them all, you’ll get a nice surprise!
FUN FACT
Over the course of the development (from the very beginning of the first prototype) we made exactly 1500 commit on github. That means we “updated” the game 1500 times!
CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT
This character is an adventurous kid! He’s always curious about everything, which makes him quite the troublemaker!

Hello, we are finally ready to release the game on March 15th, 2018! Save the date! Looking back, 4 years ago, we couldn’t have predicted that what started as a small prototype made in 48h during Global Game Jam would take us on this long, hard but exciting journey. We are very proud of what we achieved during these years. We are now ready to share the product of our work with all of you hoping that you will enjoy the game as much as we did while developing it! If you are interested in the game, remember to put it in your wishlist to always be up to date. Stay tuned! CyberCoconut Team.

🎮 Full Controller Support
- The Way of Life: DEFINITIVE EDITION Linux 64 bit [1.32 G]
- The Way of Life DEFINITIVE EDITION: Original Soundtrack
The Way of Life DEFINITIVE EDITION will make players live several life experiences from the point of view of three characters of different ages: an adult, an old man and a child.
The game’s strength is that every experience has a different gameplay mechanic, one that makes the player really feel the character's limits, feelings and fears in every situation. The only thing the three characters have in common is the first person view, which fully immerses the player in every character’s life.
THEMES
The Way of Life DEFINITIVE EDITION tells stories about several serious themes: from euthanasia to the death penalty, from war to love, from bullying to discrimination. Every one of them is tied to the other by the game’s main themes: personal growth and the different ways of perceiving reality.CHARACTERS
The player chooses how to face every experience, so every playthrough can be different depending on what decisions the player takes. The characters are extremely different, both visually and control related. The child sees the world in vibrant colors, eager to explore it, while the adult has a narrower, desaturated view except for the things he really cares about. Control wise, the old man moves slowly, with a shaking camera, to simulate how an elderly person moves; while the child can run and jump freely.CONTENT
The Way of Life DEFINITIVE EDITION will feature 10 Experiences, 30 Levels and more than 70 Significant Choices. This will let you build your own personal life experience, that will lead you to a choice-dependent ending. Can you face yourself? Do you think you'll be able to make the right decision at the right time? There’s only one way to find out, PLAY THE GAME!- OS: Ubuntu 16.04 or equivalent Linux Release
