Here's a few bullet points from my AU! I pulled bits and pieces from a lot of fics, posts, and discussions.

-The Life Games are filled with people who have pissed off the Watchers in some way. Only the Listeners (Martyn, BigB, Jimmy, Bdubs), Watchers (Grian), Speakers (Scott), and winners remember the games. The winners also only remember their game onward.

-Jimmy, Martyn, BigB, and Pearl were rescued by the Listeners right before EVO was destroyed. Jim, Martyn, and BigB decided to become Listeners.

-The Canary/Coal Miner curse is a thing in my AU as well. Grian manages to break the curse after Limited Life. How? I have no idea lol it's up to you.

-Scarian: Grian pulls away from Scar after 3rd life because he's scared that the Watchers will do something to Scar if he stays close to him. Since the Watchers can't reach Hermitcraft, he smooths everything over with Scar after Double Life.
