What’s in it so far

A whole little life, and it’s growing fast.

Everything below is in the current build. We add to it every week.

A cosy British town in miniature

  • Explore Kettleby, a hand-crafted little British town with a tilt-shift, model-village look
  • Victorian terraces in brick, render and pebbledash, with slate and tile roofs, chimneys, satellite dishes and sash windows
  • A full day and night cycle: windows glow and curtains draw after dark, and street lamps light the pavements
  • Changing weather: sunny spells, clouds, and rain that leaves the streets wet
  • Traffic that keeps left, with traffic lights, give-ways and cars parked half up on the kerb
  • Townsfolk out and about, and pigeons that scatter when you come near and settle back on rooftops and telegraph wires
  • Victoria Park with its duck pond, the High Street shops, the pub, the chippy and more
Terraces and a double-decker bus on the High Street in the early evening

Make a home

  • Decorate your flat Animal Crossing-style: place, turn and rearrange furniture on a grid
  • Buy furniture, wall art, paint and flooring, delivered to your doorstep
  • Comfort stars: the cosier your home, the better you sleep
  • Switch on the big light, or set lamps for a cosy glow that shows from the street
  • Cook meals, watch telly, read, sleep, and find post on the doormat

Work and money

  • Jobs you actually do yourself:
    • Parcel delivery driver: drive the van round town following your sat-nav
    • Café assistant at Café Rosa: take orders, make teas and bacon butties, serve tables and wash up, with tips
  • Weekly rent, and real consequences if you fall behind: letters, late fees, even eviction
  • A banking app with your full statement

Neighbours and family

  • Seven neighbours with their own personalities, homes and stories
  • Run errands for them, build friendship hearts, and receive gifts and letters
  • Pop round for a brew once you’re friends. Every house in town has its own interior
  • Maureen next door remembers what you’ve been up to, and notices if you ignore her
  • Neighbours can get the hump if you snub them. Say sorry, and it blows over
  • Mum, Dad and your brother Liam are in the family group chat. Ask Mum for a loan, and expect a word about your spending

Your phone

  • A proper in-game phone with its own apps: Bank, Jobs, Map with turn-by-turn sat-nav, Today, Goals, Finds and more
  • Natter: a messaging app with group chats and one-to-ones, where people reply in their own time
  • Doorstep.co.uk online shopping
  • Today shows the weather forecast, what’s on, and the Kettleby Gazette
The in-game phone home screen with apps for Today, Bank, Natter, Jobs, Doorstep, Kettlenet, Home, Map, Goals, Finds, Me and Settings

  • Built mobile-first with touch controls, and fully playable on Mac and PC with a keyboard
  • Portrait and landscape, with quality settings for older phones
  • Autosaves as you play
