Virtual Town – Entertainment Game Review
Virtual Town is a Entertainment/Family/Simulation game from LDW Software, LLC, first launched in 18th December 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 3,127+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Virtual Town Stand Out
NOTE: Some older devices will not be able to play Virtual Town well right now. That includes: iPhone 4s, iPad 2, 1st-gen iPad Minis, and iPod Touch 4th and 5th generation. The game is very pretty and uses more graphics power than our previous games. We have optimized the game to help with performance, but you may still experience issues on these older devices. :)
Come, move in to Virtual Town! Become the new Mayor and help restore the town to its past glory!
A note from the developer:
Hi! Thanks for looking at Virtual Town! If you are looking for the features and "bullet points," just scroll down below this little note.
It's been more than a couple of years since we have launched a new game, here at Last Day of Work! Well, this is it, the new one. Yes, of course it is a real-time simulation, but this one is a little different. More than ever before, we feel like we have created a world.
The world lives and breathes in your device. Moon phases change as days go by (just like in your real world!). When the sun sets where you are, it's turning into night in Virtual Town. More than ever, we feel like the world lives and breathes. Watch seasons change. Watch relationships change. Watch your mayor's adopted little boy or girl grow, and learn how to manage the town.
We hope the world we have created immerses you as much as it does us. Something to know, though: just like a real world, this one will be changing and growing. The truth is, we are a small team and putting everything that we want into these games is not always possible. We hope to continue working on Virtual Town and making it deeper, richer, more real, and more full of secrets, as the months go on.
In the meantime, join us! You are right on time! Help us explore Virtual Town and come with us as we see where it takes us. And where did that previous mayor go, anyway?
With excitement and gratitude,
Arthur Humphrey
Lead Designer, Last Day of Work

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love this gameeee Ive played it on and off since we were like 10 (Im 19 now) we love the graphics and how random this game is we love the mystery storyline and how you can become best friends with one of the residents. We would loveeee if this game got updated magically and here are some recommendations! -ability to have a romantic partner -more town monuments and upgrades -ability to interact with residents more by inviting them over or something! Thats it! :).
We would love to play more of this! And having a town to explore in Virtual Families would be a fresh experience to enjoy.
We LOVED this game as a little girl. We thought it was so much fun and that it was teaching us how to be responsible. We love the missing mayor mystery and we actually havent solved it yet lol. We recently redownloaded the game and am working through the process again. Nostalgia has hit us so hard! Im not gonna lie though the outfits are a bit weird and some of the characters are funky looking but we digress. Thank you for making this game.
We remember playing this game back when we were in middle school! We used to be so excited for school to be over so that we could manage our little town on the bus ride home. We had just remembered it the other day and we missed the amount of happiness and excitement it used to bring us, so we decided to look into it again! It is really sad to see that you guys havent updated this game in 8 YEARS! We really hope you guys can come revisit the game just like we did, and make some changes to it in order to make this game even more exciting now that Im an adult! We still love this game with our whole heart and we will continue to be a proud fan of these games/devs, no complaints here! Till next time Game Devs.
Hi, Ive been playing this game off and on for a few years. We love it, a couple years ago we were able to use the movie theatre, and now we cannot. We wanna be able to fix all of the town and stuff. Can LDW please update it.
Please dont give up on this game its so fun and addictive. Please make updates to it add more character options maybe even pets and expand the land more mystery plz.
This is the best game ever created. We know you guys ran into a problem but we sure wish you could fix it. Its the best game ever.
BEST GAME EVER!!! Ok ok Ill calm down thank you so much for reading this! Ok so virtual town is amazing!!! And you should get it, its so awesome get a house get a child be the mayor and so on its AMAZING we love it its our favorite but we would like for areas and more stores but your game is awsome our fav thanks for reading developers you guys are awsome have a great day ps, please add pets and more updates.
We used to play this game all the time. It was our favorite game to play when we were younger. We remembered about it and we are going to play again.
We agree with Thats it? This game has so much potential. We love this game and have come back to play over and over. We enjoy catching bugs and designing the town. It would great if it was bigger. Maybe add fishing and more mining. Definitely add more decorations. Please come back to this game! So ready for an update here.
OKAY! First, where youre going to be losing the most money is tools, so what Im going to ask you to do is take advantage of that whenever you can! If someplace gets robbed, dont fill those holes back! Put food seeds, your townspeople will love you. Its not really a good bargain to sell potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes, but you know what is a bargain? FRUIT TREES! They pay for themselves after two harvests! Leave the vegetables for your townspeople, DONT LET THEM HAVE THE FRUIT TREES! One fruit sells for 30 coins(not counting tomatoes, of course)! If your thought Id that it takes too long, then why are you playing this game? But we have a second option that takes less time than fruit trees. Earlier we told you to take advantage of the fact that tools is where youll spend the most money. Well you know what doesnt break? BUG NET! Catch and sell bugs as often as you can(as long as theyre already in the museum)! This is gonna be the thing that makes you the most money. Plant flowers, too! BEES! They sell for thirty, too!! We used to hold onto bugs cause What if our townspeople want them.. They can live without it, honestly. If theyre asking you for a bug you sold yesterday, thats their loss, not yours. And if you sold a bug the day they asked for itif you really care, you can buy it back for them. We also recommend setting a budget. One for town development, and one for yourself. We havent been under 1000 coins this play through! And if you are able to check multiple times a day for bugs, you should be good at first.
Hi this is a good game Ive been playing it for a while now and we love it its like a Virtual Town with virtual people and you get a children too.
It is a great game and there is so much stuff to do! There are no ads and no stupid pop ups! You should give this game a try! It is an amazing game, also our favorite game.
Great game! We would like to have more places for the villagers to work. Maybe have them open new areas by the cave. We have gotten a little bored now with nothing new to explore.
We just wish this game had much more content and had updates.
This game really entertains us during our son isaacs flute and piccolo recitals.
Love playing this game and collecting new things.
We had this game when we were younger and thought of it now us and our sister would play it so Im here for memories.
You should update it so you can customize your user how you want it. We always keep looking for perfect speed and charm luck: Collecting likes: Bee Phobias: None.
Very relaxing our favorite game we ever played.
Hi, we used to play this app like everyday back when we 12-13 now im 17 and we just wanted to say that this was really our favorite game! But we wish this comes back with a new graphic qualities and new things ! Considering that this type of games are really popular nowadays, and we hope u guys continue to develop more games! We really love all the games u guys create and its really unique and fun. We always come back to this page just to check any updates and we really hope the creators continue to grow! Just know that im gonna keep coming back to this game and continue supporting it(and all the works)! <3.
So we love it also it might look boring at first when you start playing but the more you play and do what you have to to make the town look nice youll love the game.
We WANT BACK MY GAME NOW AFTER THE ALL THAT WORK EVERYTHING DECIDE DISAPPEAR OF ALL DAYS AND we PLAY THIS GAME YESTERDAY. We FIX IT AND FIX IT NNNNOOOOWWWW.
Im not gonna lie, but we had pretty low hopes at first. Now we play this game almost every day. Its just really fun, and we love it so much! For starters, we love how you can interact and talk to the townsfolk or your child. Sometimes they will ask for certain items for you to find for them. Also, you can become besties with them and get gifts! Second, its cool how you are not just the mayor. What is mean is, you dont just sit in the town hall all day, you have a house and a kid and you can go shopping. Like if you want new clothes or something. Third, we like how much the town can change. You will notice that a new store might open or your townsfolk can fix up a bridge or lake. You also will weed and cut grass to make the town more pretty. Lastly, the animation is stunning! The moon is perfect, the sunset is beautiful, and all of the people look realistic but not in a creepy way. Also, the flowers, houses, and furniture are lovely. We think this is by far the best game we have seen ever. Maybe Im a little too crazy about this game, but we wanted to say that this game has a very important meaning to us. Our great-grandpa used to be the mayor of our town. Our town was really pretty and rich until a few years before he passed away. Now the town we live in is awful. Ive always wished that we could fix it, but one person cant make up for all the damage the world made to it. So, this game is as close as Ill get for now, and it reminds us of our great-grandma. Anyway, if you dont like it then Im sorry for misleading you, but Im almost 100% sure you will. Its really fun and we think you should get it. Right now.
We love this game theres not many games like this on the App Store , this game has so much potential to be more . Specifically the ending thats not finished. We hope the creators read this and update the game one more time love this game.
We used to always play this in 2019 it is a very fun game.
This game is amazing we recommend it.
Love this game! Just wish the cinema would open. Anyone know how.
This game is so much fun! There is so much to do to keep you busy. We love games like this. Yes, the game is a bit older so the graphics are bit outdated but that doesnt stop us from playing. In fact its great that the graphics arent to crazy so it makes the game run very smooth. And adopting the kids is always fun. We actually just redownloaded the game because we used to play it all the time when we were younger on our tablet and we got so much nostalgia thinking about it so we redownloaded it and we are obsessed again. Thank you for making such a amazing game.
We been playing this game for 1 day by now in its not even boring.
We recently was tryna figure out what this game was called bc it unlocked something in our memory lol but ive always played this on our android and we finally found it again ! We love this game. It was our childhood.
Why does this game not update. We love this game but sometimes it takes a week to update. It used to change and start a new day every morning. Please fix.
We wan t need to see a virtaul town 2 with marriage and husabans and weeding s plaese make a virtaul town 2 right us back plase.
This game is so fun, we love everything about it except how there arent many ways to make money or things to do. We would recommend the mayor getting paid from the residents staying there every day like rent. Over all this game is really interesting and fun to play.
So some people think this game is bad but some times we feel we have to stop for a little bcz we got no money but now its getting a little boring but then interesting but see when lets say plant a garden and spend money on tools AND seeds then we have to wait and like do nothing for like 90 minutes. But we think buying tools is good we suppose…… So we like but it have its problems.
Enjoyed this game for years. Lots to do.
Good app but when will u guys update the app 2021.
Few bugs need to be worked out but finished it all but the museum collection needs more things to do maybe more stuff to do besides mayor job or town peoples things to find.
We have been playing Virtual Town ever since it came out in the App Store (where we are right now) and we love it! We have no complaints about this game, but we would love if you could consider adding at least one of the following suggestions. Pets!: Pets would be a great addition to the game, because then more people would download the game! Plus, everyone loves a little furry friend! . Families!: Another great addition to the game; families! Instead of just having a single kid, you could have an entire family. This would be an update that everyone would love! So please consider adding these to the game! -Riley.
We like this. It's kind of like Animal Crossing.
Ok listen we wanted this game it was free it looked fun (it is maybe) but anyway make it so you can get married so you can become pregnant not that you adopt a kid make it so you can have pets find the person who you know that youll love for the rest of your life (on game) so plz this has been a very hard year with COVID to so plz! Make the game better please.
Such a cute, clean little game. Has a few glitches but great graphics and story line. Has so much potential to move forward. This is something that us and our 11 yr old can play together, with absolutely NO violence, sexual or adult content, drug usage, magic/witchcraft or spells! No profanity, bullying or adult relationships. Its actually a very clean cute and enjoyable little game. Which is probably why they have never finished it or updated it! Because sadly, good old wholesome, family content…….. Doesnt make much money these days.
Can you update and put some pets in like dogs cats birds something like this.
We have played this game many times over the years and was never disappointed and enjoyed the content. But as a person who has seen gaming on phones grow we think sadly we know why it was abandoned. In short, its completely free. Its rare these days to see a game like this free with no ads or micro-transactions. This app may not even be free if released today. 99% of the time the app cost money, has in app purchases, or pop-up ads. Sometimes it can have all of those things. Somewhere a line was crossed and money became more important than the enjoyment of the people playing it. At least thats how most feel.
Please update this , we finally went back to playing it but the graphics are so old and the movie theater doesnt work anymore , please work on this again its a fun and fine game.
Wish they would make a new update.
Yes it can be buggy, but its so much fun. We want them to add marriage n babies like the other games.
If you dont have a Nintendo switch and want to play animal crossing this is like a nice version of it we started playing a week ago and its getting fun you get to also solve a mystery of what happened to the old Mayor.
We really like this game you can do lots of things!!! We love how you can talk to other people in the game. Its really fun and we just wanted to say this is one of the best games ever.
The bell chime happens every 15 minutes if anybody was wondering.
