Live A Live

Released: 7/22/2022

LIVE A LIVE features multiple characters to play as, with each chapter set in its own time period offering unique gameplay mechanics and locations. Who knows what awaits when all eight tales have been told? Every time period features its own story and characters, with bespoke gameplay mechanics that make each one a unique experience. In a forgotten era, a young man comes of age and is given permission by the tribal elder to go forth and hunt. Bereft of words, he relies on his senses to survive; guided by his nose, he tracks game, finds shelter and learns of the dangers of the world.
