    What happens in town

    The comments steer the story. Some days it is an election, some days it is a fight over bread.

    Residents lined up in front of the town hall under a VOTE! sign.

    Elections

    The town votes in the comments. The first race was for mayor: Mrs Everson (@LUX3MEOW) won by two votes in Day 2. Next up: what the town builds next.

    Real residents

    Every resident is someone who commented. Nobody is made up, and nobody moves in without a comment.

    The baker and a neighbour waving outside the bakery, its sign switched to OPEN.

    A new day, every day

    Jobs, rivalries, small disasters at the bakery. Each episode picks up from the comments on the last one.

    Is it real?

    How do I vote?
