Gameplay
The game begins with the player naming their island and creating or importing their personal Mii, who is referred to as the player's "look-alike" and lives in an apartment building. Once giving the player's "look-alike" food to eat, they will ask for a friend. After creating another Mii for them, a short video will play set in the future showing the "look-alike"'s possible future spouse and baby, whose faces are hidden. Afterward, the Town Hall will open, giving access to create more Miis.

The Miis are voiced by a Nuance-based text-to-speech software and can have unique personalities. Miis can perform various actions, such as eating, trying on different outfits, and engaging in many leisure activities. As more Miis are added to the island, many strange and curious interactions can occur between them, such as friendship, romance, conflicts, and even social events. As the game goes by, the player unlocks more locations, clothes, food, and other things for the Miis to interact with.
