Yasper Games' first game

Hayat Dosyası

It opens at birth and closes at death. Every choice in between writes you.

Age 14, the last day of school: a decision screen under the plane tree.
Age 53, a funeral scene and its choices.
Age 1, first steps: a decision screen with four illustrated choices.

What is Hayat Dosyası?

Hayat Dosyası (Lifetale in English) is a text-based life simulation and decision-making game by Yasper Games, an independent studio in Türkiye. You live one life from birth to death across eight chapters.

Every scene opens with a short memory: a plane tree, a balcony, a funeral stone. You read, you think, you choose. A choice that feels small in the moment finds you again years later.

There are 33 careers and 11 languages. It is recommended for ages 13 and up, and is being prepared for Android and iOS.

One life, eight chapters

From infancy to old age, each chapter brings its own scenes. These are frames from the game, all from a single life.

  1. A baby lets go of the sofa and takes a first step.
    1age

    Four steps

    You let go of the edge of the sofa. Across the room everyone has their arms open, each calling your name.

  2. First day of school: a little girl holding her mother’s hand looks at pupils lined up in the yard.
    6age

    Four hundred children

    Your mother will leave you at the school gate. There is a line inside that parents cannot cross.

  3. Children playing marbles by the school wall.
    8age

    Marbles

    A game of marbles by the schoolyard wall. The loser hands over his marble; his last one was his father’s.

  4. Last day of school: a girl with her report card and a boy under a plane tree.
    14age

    The plane tree

    The last day of school. Under the plane tree, the two of you are alone for thirty seconds.

  5. A father and son drinking tea on a balcony at night.
    23age

    The balcony

    Everyone has gone to bed. On the balcony your father has poured two glasses of tea; one is yours.

  6. A mother holding her feverish child in the nursery at night.
    37age

    3:10 a.m., the nursery

    The child woke up with a fever. You pick them up; the heat comes through your T-shirt.

  7. A man and the congregation before a coffin in a mosque courtyard.
    53age

    The funeral stone

    The imam asks: How did you know the deceased?

  8. On the first morning of retirement an old woman sits on the bed watching a shuttle bus pass.
    65age

    The first Monday

    The alarm goes off; you have woken at this hour for forty years. Today there is nowhere to go.

How it plays

Every screen is a short moment and a decision.

Age 6, the school gate: a decision screen.
You do not choose where you are born
Your name and gender are yours. Your family, your city, your home and your luck are not. Every life starts through a different door.
You read, you think, you choose
This is not a fast tapping game. Each scene tells a short moment, then asks for a decision. Most decisions last for years.
What you plant early, you reap late
Something you left unsaid at nine can find you again at forty. Bonds grow when you call and fade when you do not.
The decade you are born in shows
Someone born in the eighties and someone born in the two-thousands do not share the same home, phone or clothes. Scenes are drawn for the year you were born.
When the file closes
When and how you die is decided as you play. When the file closes, your whole life is laid out on a single page.
