Public Lives is a free, persistent, multiplayer life and city simulation that runs in a browser tab with no download or install, on desktop or mobile.
Time runs the city
The hook is the clock. One real day is one game month, so a degree takes years, a mortgage outlasts most friendships, and a term of office is something you campaign for and then have to survive.
Nothing is a timer you can pay to skip, because nothing is for sale.
Life in Solano
You direct a household in the city of Solano: take a job and turn up to shifts, rent a flat and then try to buy one, start a business, trade on the exchange, go to university, fall in love, and stand for election.
The city keeps its own hours and publishes a newspaper about what happened while you were away.
Built for short check-ins
Roughly ten minutes a day. No streaks, no session to miss.
