Game Info
The Use of Life presents a world where the protagonist, Goshe, navigates life's complexities based on the player's guidance. The game's core mechanic revolves around the player's 'use of life,' which manifests as flames representing Goshe's thoughts and attachments. Whether Goshe acts selfishly or altruistically is entirely up to the player, leading to a variety of conclusions. The game emphasizes that there are no inherently 'good' or 'bad' endings, only different paths taken. Battles are designed to be tense, requiring a balance between strategic planning and timely action, fitting within its turn-based combat framework. The game supports multiplayer, Steam Cloud saves, and Family Sharing, and is playable with a controller.
