Questions
Is it free?
Yes. Free to play, right in your browser. Nothing to download, nothing to install, nothing to pay.
Does it work on my phone?
Not yet. It needs a laptop or desktop with a keyboard and mouse, or a gamepad. On a phone, tap Send to my laptop and the link will be waiting for you there.
Do I need an account?
No. Progress saves in your browser on that computer. In the pause menu you can download a save file and load it on another computer.
Why is the first load slower?
The first visit downloads the map, the game code and the textures it draws. Your browser keeps them, so later visits start quickly.
Will my laptop run it?
It needs a recent Chrome, Edge or Firefox with WebGL2, which is on by default. On older machines the game lowers its graphics on its own. If it says it cannot start, switch on hardware acceleration in your browser's settings.
Is the map real?
The roads and building footprints come from OpenStreetMap, the map volunteers draw by hand. Roads are flat and simplified, building heights are estimated, and every shop name is made up.
Why is it raining in the game?
Probably because it is raining in Marathahalli. The starting weather comes from Open-Meteo's live data. You can switch this off in the settings.
What do you collect?
Nothing about you. See the privacy page.
