How it works

  1. Describe your character in one text box. Name Porto in the text.
  2. The game reads the city from your text and puts you in the real Porto, 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 visit the Dom Luís I Bridge in LifeSim?
