## About One Hour One Life

One Hour One Life is a generational multiplayer simulation released in 2018 by Jason Rohrer. Players are born into random families and must live an entire life within a single hour, with permadeath marking the end of each generation. The mechanics center on community governance, a deep crafting tech tree, road building for fast travel, and a unique griefing curse system designed to discourage antisocial behavior. Family-based spawning means each player's next life begins as a newborn to another player-mother, creating organic generational chains. Reviewers describe the experience as atmospheric and immersive, with players noting that crafting requires deep mastery and that every decision carries weight due to the permanent nature of death. The game costs $14.99 USD and holds an 80% positive rating from 2934 Steam reviews, though it is not currently supported on Steam Deck.
