About the Game

About This Game

Life in Cities is a city-building and management simulation where you take on the role of a mayor tasked with transforming an empty piece of land into a living dream city. Design the city layout, build roads, manage resources, and respond to the challenges of urban growth shaped by every decision you make. Import 2D map layouts and turn them into realistic 3D worlds, then build the city you have always wanted to see come to life. From the mayor’s desk to street-level exploration, you can step into your city, observe daily life, gather insights, and capture it through ground-level photography and video.

Core Features

  • Build a city from scratch and bring your dream to life

Start with an empty space, place your first road, and gradually expand it into a city with its own identity. Your city is not just a collection of buildings, but a living world shaped by every decision you make.

  • Plan your city using realistic map-based design

With a system that imports 2D maps and transforms them into realistic 3D environments, you can create city layouts that match your vision more closely than ever and freely design the city of your dreams.

  • Simulate urban resource and city management

Your city will be filled with people, movement, problems, and challenges waiting for you to solve. Every planning decision affects expansion, density, and the long-term direction of the city.

  • Live inside your city with anime-style characters

This is more than a city-building view from above. You can bring anime-style characters into your city and experience life as one of its citizens—exploring, observing, collecting information, and understanding problems from the people’s perspective.

  • Capture photos and videos of your city at street level

Preserve every moment of the city you build through immersive ground-level views filled with atmosphere, story, and the feeling that your city is truly alive.

  • Easy to start, deep to master

The UI and systems are designed to be approachable, while still giving you room to gradually build toward a deeper, more complex, and more rewarding city simulation.
