Is there a game where you can live in Cape Town?

Cape Town life simulator

Yes. LifeSim puts you in the real Cape Town, on a 3D map with Table Mountain. You describe a character and live day by day. The people have jobs and friends, and they remember you. It is free and runs in the browser.

Life in Cape Town

Cape Town sits between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. People hike, surf, and spend weekends at the beach or in the wine country nearby. The city center is small, and the suburbs spread along the coast.

How it works

  1. Describe your character in one text box. Name Cape Town in the text.
  2. The game reads the city from your text and puts you in the real Cape Town, on a 3D map.
  3. Live day by day. Go to real places, meet people, and talk to them in your own words.
