"How realistic is owning a home in Tokyo? Could I afford one if I moved to the countryside?" Life Map - Plan Where to Live is a financial education life simulator that visualizes where you can afford to live on the map of Japan, by your savings. ■ How It Plays You're 18, with until age 70 to find your home. Tick through life month by month: salary, rent, side jobs, marriage, kids, mortgage. Pick from 9 dream packages (Tokyo high-rise, Kyoto townhouse, Karuizawa villa, Okinawa resort, hometown house) and find your smartest route on real Japanese data. ■ Japan Map & Market - 52 areas (47 prefectures plus Minato, Karuizawa, Niseko, parents' home). Rent, living costs, and income vary by prefectural-capital references - Pins show what you can buy now, reach soon, or can't reach - Tap any area for rent (single / family), living cost, expected income, relocation cost ■ Time & Life Events - 1 real-world day = 1 in-game month. Time advances even when closed; catches up on relaunch - 24+ life events: side gig, job offer, marriage, illness, bonus, childbirth, layoff, NISA, market crash, promotion, car purchase, early repayment, and more - Health and family relations (0-100) drive mechanics: low health raises illness odds and cuts income; low family makes marriage and kids less likely ■ Money & Housing - Decouple workplace and residence: "Tokyo salary, countryside life" - Moving costs scale with rent (deposit + key money, 6 months): Minato 720K, Tokyo 480K, regional ~300K (JPY) - Home loan modeled after Flat 35 (1.8%/yr fixed, 35-year term); repayment ratio over 25% shows a warning - After buying, HOA fees, property tax, and education costs hit your cash flow ■ Dashboard - One screen: savings, income, age, health, family, location, cash flow, where to move next - 3-mode toggle (full / compact / hidden) for a wider map; state persists - "What might happen next" forecast hints at upcoming events - 12 achievement badges ■ Onboarding & Endings - 6 preset lives plus a fully custom setup - 5-step first-run tutorial (replayable from Settings) - Mortgage-paid-off celebration - 5-tier final grade (S / A / B / C / D) at age 70, scored on savings, mortgage status, health, and family, each with a title from "Living the Dream" to "A Life to Restart" ■ Daily Habit (build financial literacy little by little) - "Today's Money Quiz": one question a day on mortgages, NISA, insurance, taxes, markets, and budgeting. Answering advances one in-game month; correct answers earn a bonus - Morning / noon / evening touchpoints: the quiz, an economy news tidbit, and a recap (balance, assets, goal). Build a login streak; clear all three for a full-combo bonus - A daily "Today's Happening" surprise event at launch - Quiz and news content is delivered from a server (Firebase) without app updates; works offline too - Gentle daily notifications with today's lesson ■ Monetization - Free to download and play - Banner ad at the bottom of the dashboard - Rewarded video in Settings ("Time Boost") advances 1 month instantly - One-time IAP "Speed Boost Pro" (600 JPY, not a subscription): permanently unlocks 2x and 4x speeds and removes the banner. Buy once; restore on a new device with the same Apple ID ■ Made For - 20s and 30s thinking about buying a home - Parents teaching kids about money and life planning - Schools and educators seeking financial literacy material ■ Privacy Play data (age, savings, income, progress) is stored mainly on your device. The app uses Firebase (anonymous authentication and Cloud Firestore) for content delivery, which generates an anonymous identifier; no personally identifying information such as name or email is collected. Pangle may process advertising identifiers for ads. You choose personalized ads on first launch (changeable in Settings), then iOS shows the ATT prompt; ads are personalized only if you allow both.
