How to play

Firstly, some explanationa about Kairos time vs Chronos time. As we progress through life, we age. Chronos time ticks, ticks, ticks and we get older. However, some periods in our life are more eventful than others. For example, the first few years of having a child may have a lot more eventful moments than when those same children are 30 years old. Kairos time is about these moments. I defined a specific moment as a "lifeshock" after Sophie Sabbage's book, Lifeshocks and How to Love Them.

With each lifeshock, you get to make a choice. "Yes" is to accept that the lifeshock happened. "No" is to resist, a refusal to accept what happened. Neither choice is the "right" choice, but with each choice you gain a new core belief based on whether you said yes or no to it.

Eventually, you will die. In the game, when that happens you get to see all the core beliefs you gained over your life and get to choose for yourself, did you win at life?

This is very alternative to the kind of game I normally make, but I hope you enjoy it all the same!
