Introduction

Main Map

The Main map is where most of the game is played. You see the people move around and perform their daily activities. Sometimes they will enter a building, and the building will 'light up' to indicate that someone is inside of it.

Controls from the main map:

• Tap on any square of the map in order to see what it is. If it is an occupied location, or a person is wandering through it, you will see 'inside' (via another screen) it to who is there.
• Tabs numbered 1 thru 4 at top-right: you can select which map you want to view and edit. This allows you to have multiple scenarios saved.
• Checkbox at lower-left: check this to enter and exit 'building mode', which is where you can alter the maps.

Building

Person Screen

- Find out all the details about a person on this screen. You see their current state, and find out about their hobbies.

- At the very top, you see the person's name. Below that is their picture, followed by some words saying what they are currently doing. In parentheses besides the words are the number of game-minutes they will continue doing that for, if they know.

- Below the name are various words which represent the internal state of a person. They are: hunger, tiredness, isolation, boredom, and agitation. To the right of each word, there is a bar which shows how much of that value the person has accumulated so far, by 'filling up' a certain portion of the bar with black. (Think of them as 'thermometers'.) If the black section is up to the 'circle' on the bar, the person is finally going to notice the accumulation of that value, and try to do something to reduce it. Such as eat, when hunger is too high, or sleep when tiredness is too high.

- The list at the lower left contains hobbies a person might be interested in. By selecting a hobby from the list, you can see details about that hobby, as well as telling the person whether or not to be interested in pursuing it by checking or unchecking the box to the right of the list.

- By hitting the 'Rename' button at the bottom of a displayed person, you can rename that person, as well as select a new picture for them.
