FAQ

Short answers to the questions we get most.

What can I play for free?

Everything, up to a point: the free version lets you build up to 10 floors, start three new towers, and reach a ★2 rating. That's enough to know whether the game is for you.

What do I get if I buy it?

One purchase unlocks the whole game: unlimited height, every facility, all three building sites (city, sea, desert), and the full star ladder, all the way to ★5. It applies to the towers you've already started, too.

What in-app purchases are there?

Exactly one: the unlock above. There are no consumables, no currencies, no subscriptions, no ads, and nothing time-limited. Buy it once and you own the game. The price is shown in the App Store in your local currency.

Will it come to Windows, Linux or Steam?

Not any time soon, honestly. The game is written in Swift against Apple's Metal graphics API, so a port would be a rewrite rather than a checkbox. Never say never, but iPad, Mac and iPhone are the home for now.

What about iPhone?

Since version 1.2 the same app runs on iPhone, including iPhone Duo. The controls fold into a compact layout (one row on top, a tab row at the bottom) and a status page with the clock, money, population and minimap is one tap away. It is the same game and the same purchase, but you spend a lot of time reading a whole floor at a glance, so iPad or Mac is still the better place to build. An unfolded iPhone Duo shows the full layout.

Do I need an account or an internet connection?

No account, no sign-in, and it plays fully offline. The only network involved is the App Store itself when you buy or update.

Do my saves sync between devices?

Not currently. Your tower is saved on the device you built it on. The game saves automatically as you play.

What languages does it support?

Twelve, including English and Japanese. It follows your system language.

Is this a SimTower remake?

It's not a remake, but the lineage is obvious and loved. The classic tower sims are the reason this game exists; the new part is that the building itself (its shape, facade, glass and neon) is yours to design, and every room's interior is generated live.

Is it out?

Yes. Yume Tower is on the App Store for iPad, Mac and iPhone.

I found a bug / I have a question that isn't here

Write to dev@yumetower.com. English or Japanese are both fine. It's a one-person studio, so replies come from the person who wrote the bug. The support page lists what helps in a bug report.

Can I stream the game or put it in videos?

Yes, always, monetized or not, and you never need to ask first. The creators page is a standing permission you can link in your description. If you do make something, we'd love to hear about it.
