The Life of Kevin is a text-based visual novel following Kevin West, a 40-year-old American who moves from Damascus, Virginia to Amsterdam with almost nothing to his name. The story is told day by day as Kevin builds a new life in the Netherlands.

Yes. A free account is required to play and to save your progress. Registration only needs a username, email and password — no personal information is collected beyond that.

Your progress is auto-saved during play (for example when moving through scenes), and an end-of-day auto save is also created. You can also save manually at any time using the Save Game button in the left sidebar.

The game started development on June 1, 2026, so the story is still in its early phase. It is updated continuously and gets longer over time. Check the Changelog to see exactly what has been added.

We aim to release at least 1 new story day every month, usually around the 15th.

Because the project only started on June 1, 2026. New days and scenes are being added regularly, so the story will keep getting longer as time goes by.

Yes. Certain scenes present choices that affect Kevin's stats (money, energy) and flags that carry forward to future days.

Some scenes include a one-time Take Picture button. If you take the picture, it is added to your phone Gallery, can trigger extra follow-up scene content, and may grant scene-specific rewards.

Yes. Pic Opportunities are generally one-time moments tied to a scene. If you continue without taking it, that specific picture and any related bonus scene/rewards can be skipped.

SnapChat replies are intentionally delayed. A received snap only appears once the reply is actually due, so it will not show early in chat or Gallery.

Yes. SnapChat supports both photos and videos. Random character replies can also be either image or video, depending on the character's available media pool.

Gallery items received through SnapChat are linked back to their conversation thread. Tapping those entries jumps you directly to the relevant SnapChat chat.

The first 30 in-game days are designed without sexual content.

Day — the current in-game day.
Money — Kevin's cash in euros. Spent on transport, food and other expenses.
Energy — Kevin's physical and mental stamina. Recovers when he rests or eats.
Arousal — tracks Kevin's sexual tension in applicable scenes.

The full leaderboard is at /ranking.html. It shows all players sorted by experience points, along with their level and highest friendship. You need to be logged in to view it.

Players can donate their own photos to become real-world models in the game. Your likeness is then used to shape one of the characters — the photos feed into our AI model so the character looks and feels like a real version of you. You become part of the world.

We welcome a wide range of content because the story covers a broad range of themes — from emotional and intimate to playful and explicit:

• Everyday clothing shots and outfits
• Portraits and face close-ups
• Cute, casual, and loving photos
• Full body shots — front, back, and side
• Nudes and topless photos
• Zoomed-in close-ups of all body parts
• Explicit and sexual content

The more variety and the more photos you share, the more accurate and expressive your AI model can become.

Quantity and variety matter. A single photo is a start, but the AI learns from a full picture of you — different lighting, angles, moods, outfits, and levels of undress. Think of it like building a portfolio: the broader the range, the more naturally the character can be placed in different story scenes.
