## What it is
One Hour One Life is an open-source multiplayer survival game about parenting and civilization building, where each player lives a one-hour life and contributes to a persistent, multi-generational world. The repository contains the game's C++ source code for its cross-platform client and server.

## Use cases

- build a civilization tech tree collaboratively with other players

- you enjoy emergent social dynamics like family lines, leadership, and exile mechanics
