Hi! I'm making One Life, One Song for the jam: you live one whole life in about 80 seconds (1 year = 1 second) on a small Earth of 8,000 people, and every choice you catch becomes a note in your life's song. At the end, your life is pressed into a record.

My biggest question is the crossroads. Two lights appear with a question like "Your child's first school play and a big presentation at work fall on the same day. Where will you go?"

• Did you read the question before picking, or did you just grab a light?
• Was there a crossroads where you really hesitated? Which one?

Controls: ← → keys, or click/tap toward a light. Please mention your browser and device.

Disclosure: code, the English/Spanish text and the history notes were made with AI assistants under my direction. No AI art or music — visuals are drawn in code, and the music is played live in code from open-source instrument samples.

Thanks — happy to play your entry back and leave notes.
