Liz, Flora, Oli, Jade, Orchid, Astoria, Crimson, Blue, Tessa, Rachie, Catboi, Fros, Twisttea and Glitch suceed their tasks.
Juno, Ari, Bendy, Elephant, Bee, Manu and Rae fail their tasks.
Everyone else has yet to give any sign of interest and the given week has passed.
This game's rules are simple:
All players have three lives. Green and yellow lives are peaceful while red lives are antagonistic.
All players have thirty hearts of health but are unable to regenerate naturally.
In the four corners of the map are four statues, four statues for four gods, four gods for four seasons.
At the beginning of each session each player will be able to choose from a selection screen a god from which they will receive a task. This task must remain secret.
Completing the task will recover 10 lost hearts and give gifts to the player in case less then those are needed to return to thirty.
Completing a task will increase affinity for that particular deity, this will have effects as the series continues.
Players can reroll their task for an harder one by going to the gods' statues. Hard tasks recover 20 hearts but failing means losing 10.
Yellow lives can guess the task of other players, doing so will make them fail.
Green and yellow lives can complete only one task per session.
Red lives upon completion of their task will receive another.
A red player killing another player will cause them to gain 10 hearts, allowing then to go above the 30 hearts limits.
As for meta stuff:
All events will be chosen by the wheel though I will often add to the choice of the wheel into a more satisfying narrative.
The number of hearts each player has will be monitored at the beginning of each session.
Tasks will be a mix of Secret Life tasks, my ideas and suggestions from the other players. Suggestions are nevertheless appreciated.
Should I make a mistake counting the hearts I would like to be told immediately.
In the case the last two players include a past winner and a non winner then the past winner will be unable to win a second time.
The wheel will change session by session much like in the last two seasons.
The events of Free Life are considered canon but don't make this season's lore reliant too much on Free Life knowledge.

Did you just stumble on this post and have no idea what Project LUMEN is about? Fear not, there is more information under the cut.
Project LUMEN is a fan indie game currently in the developmental stage. Its goal is to bring the Life Series to life in a different medium, for fans to experience it in a brand new way. Our game will be a RPG of sorts with a world to explore, battle mechanics, interaction with NPCs, different choices to make and our own unique spin on Watcher Lore. It will have changing art styles and multiple endings.
If you'd like to learn more, give our blog a look, and if you’re still curious or have a question, feel free to reach out via our ask box :D
