Seis Pontes

You arrive in Porto with a hundred euros and a bag. The river turns gold at dusk, the iron arch of Ponte Luís I fills the sky, and somewhere across the Douro there is a room with your name on the door. Seis Pontes is a shared life-sim set in the real heart of Porto: the Ribeira, the bridge and the Cais de Gaia, where the other residents walking the quay are real players, living their own lives. A REAL PLACE, RIGHT NOW - The riverside, both decks of Ponte Luís I and the streets and stairs that climb both banks, laid out from OpenStreetMap data and built by hand in 3D. - Porto's real time of day: morning light on the river, street lamps and lit windows at night. - Porto's real weather: when it rains in Porto, it rains in the game, and the umbrellas come out. - Ride the funicular, the cable car over Gaia and a rabelo cruise down the river. A LIFE TO BUILD - Work a café shift, carry crates to the port-wine lodges, carry for the market, work the guest-house desk or ride bike deliveries. - Climb a career with real tests: the café, the lodges, the rabelos, the municipal police. - Fish from the quay, busk in the Praça, sweep the streets, photograph the bridges, paint azulejos. - Look after your food, energy, hygiene, fun, social life and comfort. A good mood makes you better at everything. - Grow five skills: fishing, music, painting, cooking and charisma. A HOME OF YOUR OWN - Rent a bed, a quarto, a studio or a flat with a river view, in twelve buildings on both banks. - Buy a house, live in it or let it to other players. Buy a restaurant and hire players to run it. - Furnish it, paint the walls, lay the floors, then sit on your sofa, cook, shower and watch TV. A STORY TOLD BY THE CITY - Twelve chapters told by the people of the Ribeira: a fishmonger, a lodge master, a tile painter and many more. - 75 quests that lead from one shop door to the next. - Earn Reputação to unlock bigger homes, businesses, events and the Galeria. REAL PEOPLE - Chat with the room, whisper, wave, hug, joke and give small gifts. Friendships grow as you meet. - Host events and run clubs in real venues, with tickets, invitations, passes and a doorman. - Paint pictures, hang them at home or sell them in the Galeria do Cais. FAIR AND SAFE - No adverts, no tracking and nothing to buy. The euros in the game are game money only. - Report and block players in two taps. A word filter, and human moderators who review every report within 24 hours. - For players aged 13 and over. An internet connection is needed: the world is shared. Honest note: Seis Pontes is young. The world is a few hundred metres of riverside around one bridge, not the whole city, and the other bridges are on the skyline for now. We are a tiny team and we add to Porto every week. Come and live by the Douro, and tell us what you would like to see next.
