Is there a game where you can live in Florence?

Florence life simulator

Yes. LifeSim has a 3D map of the real Florence. You describe a character, write Florence as the city, and live there day by day. The people of Florence follow their own routines and remember you. The game is free and opens in the browser.

How it works

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

Questions

Can I walk to the Duomo in the Florence life sim?

Yes. Search for the Duomo on the real 3D map, and your character walks there. The Ponte Vecchio and the Uffizi are on the map too.

Can I play an art student in Florence?
