Your first day in the city

Start with a neighbor, a kitchen shift and a welcome gift for your permanently free starter Room.

1. Follow the on-screen tips. They cover walking, talking, the mini-map and your first job.
2. Open the phone (button in the city bar, or P). The first time, Toly hands you your phone.
3. Follow the first-day guide: talk to a neighbor and try a short kitchen shift. Shifts pay LIFE and XP and cost energy.
4. Bring your welcome plant home after the first-day goals. Your starter Room is free forever, with a bed and shower. Eat when hunger gets low; food stalls and the Corner Market sell meals.
5. Collect your daily streak once a day (the streak card is on the Status tab and the city bar), and check your missions (daily, weekly and monthly) in the Missions app.
6. When the event banner shows a live city event, walk there and tap Join.
7. Finished missions are collected at the Bank.

The daily loop: work, earn, eat and rest, level up
