A short record of what has shown up in the city. The newest day is at the top.

Characters have faces, hair and clothes, and they walk like people.
On a wide screen, the status bar also shows how many people played today and how many have ever played.
Claiming Mama Njeri's kibanda or The Alchemist shows the license price. If you own one, you can put it up for sale and another player can buy it.

You can walk all the way around a building. The doormat is still the only way in.
Billboards stand beside the door, so a poster no longer blocks the entrance.

The whole city shares one clock. Sleep waits until Nairobi reaches 06:00, then your day ends.
On a wide screen, the status bar shows how many people are online.
The wallet and the buttons along the bottom stay readable on a phone.

Other players show up on the street, inside rooms, and on the matatu.
You can add friends, chat where you are, and message a friend directly.
Matatu fares depend on which districts you cross. Walking into some districts charges a gate.
The wallet is in Bobs. Bobs are the game's money, not shillings.
Mama Njeri's kibanda and The Alchemist can be claimed. What other players spend there pays the owner.
The Umoja bedsitter block and the Route 46 matatu can be bought.
The police can arrest you. Friends can pay bail. There is a station, a court, and Industrial Area Prison.
Buildings carry billboards. Credits buy the space, and players can report a poster.
The camera can tilt, and a short film plays while the city loads.

Nairobi Life opens: a walkable city, Route 46, and rooms you step into.
Phone controls, full screen, and a camera that stays out of the walls.
