Game of Life is a game about a young man or woman just back from studying abroad for two years and living with the family again. Things seem a bit different from when you left which is just one of the paths you can focus on in this game or you can ignore it completely and just enjoy life, as a bit of a deviant of course.
NOTE: If you are continuing from an old save and you have already spoken to Lance at the volunteer centre, you will need to set lance_intro = “Stage 1” via the console as the introduction variable is a new addition there.
