What kind of phone do I need to play City Life Game with Friends?

My friend tried to find the game on the app store, but couldn’t. Why is that?

How do I move my character around the city?

To walk around and explore in City Life Game with Friends, you’ll use two special pads on your screen. The one on the left side helps you move your character forward, backward, and side-to-side, like a joystick on a game controller! The one on the right side lets you turn the camera and change which way your character is facing. You can also make the screen bigger or smaller by pinching your fingers together or spreading them apart. That’s how you zoom in and out!

How do I start a “Cafe Shift” or “Decorate Together” activity

To start a new activity or join one that’s already happening, look for the activity sign! The activity sign has a bouncing pink icon above it with a coffee icon for “Cafe Shift” and a chair for “Decorate Together”. Tap on it, and you’ll be able to choose “Start” or “Join”.

Why does my character suddenly stop doing the action I asked them to do

Sometimes, if you move the camera or touch the joystick while your character is doing something, the action will stop. So, try to keep your character still until they’re finished!

I want to change my character’s name and gender. How do I do that?

Oh, that’s a good idea! Right now, since this is a test version of the game, you can’t change your character’s name or gender. But don’t worry, we’re planning to add that feature in the future!

What will happen to the game app when the playtest is over? Is uninstallation required?

After the playtest ends, the game app will no longer work. You may then uninstall it from your device.
