Official mobile apps and browser simulation

The prep school application had quests, outfit customization, and friendship building. Disney also made smaller browser games like Isle of the Lost Rush.

LifeSim works differently and has no pre-written quests or official series characters. You write your own story in a text box, and the AI people react to you. The platform does not feature a spell system or combat mechanics. Your magic is a secret you write in the chat, and people reply to your words.
Instead of a linear plot, you live day by day in the real Vancouver. You manage your money, your health, and your daily calendar. Every person in the city has their own job, home, and daily routine. You can build a creative life by using the Sketch tool to draw on your character.
