Heartopia

Heartopia is a life simulation set in a shared town where you create a character, make a home, and spend time alongside other players. You can visit neighbors, help with their gardens, and join group activities, or focus on your own routines. Hobbies include fishing, gardening, cooking, birdwatching, bug catching, and caring for cats and dogs. You can also gather materials and collect items, while painting custom designs for clothing and furniture, writing books, and making music offer additional creative outlets. Daily tasks and hobby activities provide progression and unlock more content over time. Building lets you arrange and expand your home, while energy is used for activities and can be restored with food or rest. Events and changing conditions bring additional activities to the town.

Build a custom home in a shared town, pursue hobbies, care for pets, and meet other players in a relaxed life sim.
