Independent game developer James Rohrer announced that "One Hour One Life," his new multiplayer survival game, is now available Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free for $20.
According to the official website of the game, "One Hour One Life" is about playing one small part in a much larger story. The game is also about family trees. Players live for only an hour, but the time and space in the game is limitless. Players cannot do much in a lifetime and the tech tree of the game (which has 10,000 craftable items for players to make use of) will take hundreds of generations to explore.
As reported by PC Gamer, the game is set in a server where players have to work together to further civilization. Players will be mothered by other players and the players' babies are played by other players as well. Players will realize upon playing that what they will be building and creating in the game is not for them to use — those are for their children and their children's children to utilize.
Rohrer shared what he experienced on the game's official website. He said he started off as a kid who eventually grew up. He built a bakery near the wheat fields and watched his grandparents and parents grow old and die. He had kids as well and his character is now an old woman.
Moreover, he said that when his old woman's character's one hour of life ended, he will be born again but he can never live the same unique story the old woman had again. He then pointed out that everything will change — he will be born as a different person in a different time with another unique story to live for another hour.
