Questions

Does it run on my computer?

Most likely. It runs in a modern browser on most computers made in the last few years, Windows or Mac. Chrome and Edge work best; Firefox and Safari should work too. Phones and tablets are not supported yet.

Do I need to install anything?

No. You play in the browser. The first visit downloads about 130 MB of the city; later visits are faster.

What is the difference between Supporter, Citizen and Visitor?

Supporter costs a bit more and supports the game directly: you play from Thursday 29 October, a week before everyone else, and get the party hat, the golden goose and a Supporter role on Discord. Buy before 5 November and you also get a Founder badge. Citizen opens the whole city from 5 November. Visitor is free and lets you explore the city centre.

Can I get a refund?

Yes: within 14 days if you have played less than 1 hour, or anytime in those 14 days if the game does not run properly on your computer.

Is there a Steam version?

A Windows version on Steam comes later.
