Hello! Welcome to The Way of life: DEFINITIVE EDITION road to release, stage 4! 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

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.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I'll bet they'd live a lot differently." - Bill Watterson

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!
