How to Play
Move with WASD / arrows (or the joystick). Hold Shift to sprint.
Walk to a glowing door and press E (or ✦) to enter. Each building offers activities.
Careers: work at the Gig Board (Delivery/Corporate), Cafe (Creator), and Gym (Coach). Raise the matching stat, then promote for bigger pay.
Bank: earn interest on savings, invest for volatile daily returns, buy rental property for passive income, or take a loan.
Mind your Energy and Mood — happy people earn more. Sleep at home to reset the day. Avoid traffic.
Check Daily Goals and Quests & Errands (Pause menu) for rewards. Sleeping refreshes your daily goals and pays a login-streak bonus. The Night Shift & Night Market (central plaza) open after 6 PM.
Chat with the city's characters (walk up + press E): their errands pose honest-vs-shady choices that shift your Karma (→ different endings), and daily gifts build friendships — Best Friends grant permanent perks.
Collect achievements, earn endings, and become a City Legend.
