How it works

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

Questions

Is there snow in the Sapporo game?

The map shows weather and clouds. You can also write winter into your story, for example a sculptor who works on the Snow Festival.

Can I play in other Hokkaido towns, like Otaru?

Yes. LifeSim has a map of all of Earth. Type the name of any town in your character text, and the game finds it.

What is a good first life in Sapporo?

Try a ramen cook in Susukino or a student new to the city. Both meet many people in the first days.
