The Hallbound series

Five sports. Five whole careers.

Every Hallbound game is a life, not just a season: you create one athlete and live every year of the career, on the field and off it. Baseball comes first. Tap a game to see it up top.

Draft day

It starts on the couch, waiting for the phone.

Build your player: high school or college, hitter or pitcher, hometown, number, the face you'll grow old with. Then sit in the living room with your family while the draft plays on TV, pick by pick, until the phone rings. You don't choose the club. The club chooses you.

  • High school or college, hitter or pitcher: your call
  • A 20-round draft with the whole league's prospects
  • Any of 30 clubs can call, in real cities with fictional names
Create your player: name, number and face

The climb

The town grows with you.

Rookie ball, Rookie High, Single-A, High-A, Double-A, Triple-A, then the big leagues. Every step up is a new town to live in: a ballpark, a home, a training center, a front office, shops, a diner and a film room, all illustrated by hand.

What's in a career

Everything a ballplayer's life holds.

Inspired by the classic baseball career games, rebuilt for today with a living league, a day-by-day calendar and a whole life around the game.

01

Play your game

Hit or pitch when your player is involved. Watch the last pitch, follow every play, or sim ahead while the scoreboard tracks the score, outs and runners.

02

Day by day

A real calendar and clock. Eat, sleep, train, show up on time. Energy, focus, morale and stress all change how you play.

03

Train your way

Weekly training plans, the Performance Center, a Film Room with 200 volumes to study, and a Pitch Lab to learn new pitches.

04

Contracts and agents

Pick an agent, go to arbitration, test free agency, ask for a no-trade clause, sign the extension, or bet on yourself.

05

A life off the field

Hundreds of branching story scenes. Teammates, coaches, bartenders, rivals and friends. Date, fall in love, marry and raise a family.

06

A card every season

Every year prints a new season card of your player, aged and in your club's colors, ready for the binder.

07

Fame

Newspaper headlines, magazine covers, TV shows, a social feed, billboards and postgame press conferences.

08

Money and the good life

See weekly pay and bank activity, then weigh homes, staff and gear against future bills. Open businesses, invest, or live beyond your means.

09

The doctor's call

158 named injuries. Rest, or play through it and risk making it worse. The injured list is part of every career.

10

October

All-Star Games, a real postseason bracket, pennants, rings and a parade if you go all the way.

11

The Hall of Fame

Retire, wait for the vote, and give the speech. Only the careers that truly earned it get in.

12

The next generation

Years later, your son can enter the draft in the same league, with your name and your hometown on his back.

13

The whole league

Browse every league's standings, leaders, clubs and player stats from your laptop, not just your own team.

14

Baseball USA

A spring prospect report shows where you rank in your organization and across the sport as your career develops.

15

Winter choices

Choose your winter goals and holiday plans, then simulate the months while stopping for contract decisions.

Off the field

Days off are where life happens.

Grab a drink with teammates, take someone to dinner, play catch in the backyard with your kid. Every choice in a conversation moves something: your mood, your focus, a friendship, a romance, your reputation.

  • Branching scenes with many endings, good and bad
  • Marriage, kids, birthdays and anniversaries
  • Made for ages 12 and up: romantic, never explicit

Your legacy

Fill the binder. Fill the trophy room.

Every season adds a card, every milestone adds a trophy, and the phone keeps a photo album of your firsts, call-ups, awards and titles. When it's over, the whole career is there to look back on, and to share.

  • Season cards, a card binder and a trophy room
  • Magazine covers and newspaper front pages of your big moments
  • A gold Natural Career badge for careers built without paid boosts

Questions

Good to know.

When does Hallbound Baseball Life come out?

Hallbound Baseball Life is available now for iPhone and iPad on the App Store. Android and Steam releases are coming soon; join the news list for updates.

How much does it cost?

It is free to download on iPhone and iPad, with ads you can remove and optional in-app purchases. The Android version will also be free to download. On Steam you buy the game once and there are no ads.

Do I need to be online?

No. The whole game plays offline and your careers are saved on your device. You only need a connection for purchases, ads in the free mobile version, and the Korean and Japanese fonts the first time you switch to them.

Are these the real teams and players?

No. The 30 clubs play in real big-league cities, and every minor-league club in its real affiliate city, but every team name, logo and player is fictional.

Can I pay to win?

Optional purchases can speed up training, but there's a ceiling on every rating, and careers built without any paid boosts earn a gold Natural Career badge. The Hall of Fame still has to be earned on the field.

Who is it for?

Anyone who loves baseball or career games. It's made for ages 12 and up: there's romance and some trouble off the field, but nothing explicit.

Which languages?

English, Spanish, Korean and Japanese, with more to come.
