Share a life, not just a score: making a keepsake worth discussing

Updated October 22, 2026

Age, happiness and assets are easy to send at the end of a life. They may not be the part you most want to remember. A departure, a relationship or an answer you nearly chose can matter more. A keepsake can open that conversation instead of simply reporting a score.

Choose between a picture and a playable beginning

The ending page can save a keepsake. The share panel also provides a card and QR code with a same-start invitation. A PNG keeps a visible summary on your device; the invitation lets a friend actually begin from the same simulated origin.

Saving does not post to a social network. The system share menu depends on the device and browser. If it is unavailable, copy the link or save the picture and send it through your own messaging app. The website does not message your contacts for you.

Give the card one specific question

Instead of asking whether someone can be more successful, ask which need they would protect at a difficult point. Would they keep studying when the family needs income? Would they stay or move? Explain what you were trying to preserve so a friend knows which part of the story to read.

Keep the question within what you want to disclose. You can discuss a fictional situation without exchanging real family history. When a friend chooses differently, ask about the reason before using the final numbers to decide whose answer was right.

A QR invitation is not your complete private journal

The same-start link contains a simulated seed, date, draw method and optional outcome numbers. It does not include notes, an epitaph, your real birthplace or the complete save. Its QR code opens the same invitation. A friend does not gain access to your local memorial shelf.

The visible picture is still information you are sending. Check the card and summary before sharing. If you add another screenshot, file or personal message, consider that content separately. An invitation’s privacy boundary does not make everything you attach private.

Keep the memory and the playable record separately

An image is useful when browsing your photos. A JSON backup lets the game import the record and its stored branches. A QR code recreates the beginning, not the year where you stopped, and it cannot replace the backup.

For a life you want to keep, save both the card and the exported file. Add a short reflection to the picture if you wish; keep the backup somewhere private. When moving devices or domains, import the backup before deciding whether to tell the story again.

A shared beginning does not need to become a competition

A friend can share an ending back so you can compare where your paths separated. The current summary is not a server-certified score, and there are no live rooms or public rankings. The reasons behind different answers are often more useful than an unverifiable high score.

The conversation can end with “I would still choose that” or “I would like to try another path”. Branching is for the second question: retain the first life and return to a shared past without treating one ending as the final answer.
