PUNKVILLE: LIFESWAP

Punkville: Life Swap drops you into a little town, flat broke and living in your grandma’s old caravan. From there, it’s your call: get a job, improve your life, or throw it into chaos.

Punkville is a game about making progress (or don’t), finding humour in the everyday, and doing all the things you’re not supposed to do in real life without judgment, limits, or serious consequences.

We’re building a town with the freedom to live however you like, whether that means showing up for your shift on time or trashing the supermarket and buying a soda on the way out.

Punkville is your playground.

MADE POSSIBLE
BY YOU

Punkville: Lifeswap is being brought to life thanks to the amazing support of the community on Patreon. From just $3 a month, you can help support development, get exclusive updates, vote in community polls, and have your name featured in the game.

Start at the Bottom. Build Your Life.
You begin in grandma’s old caravan with barely a penny to your name. From there, it’s up to you to build a better life in Punkville. Earn money, go to university, get a better job, get out of the caravan, and gradually turn your humble beginnings into a life worth bragging about.

Work hard. But not too hard.
Get a job, earn a wage, and keep life on track. Eat well, rest up and have fun. Stay happy, keep out of trouble and make sure you’re ready for whatever the day throws at you. In Punkville, managing everyday life is part of the journey. Take life at your own pace, climb the career ladder, or just remain a sandwich artist for the rest of your life. Your call.

A convenience store with signs indicating it is open 24 hours and offers good food. The store has a brick exterior, large windows, and a parking lot with marked spaces. There are advertisements on the building including logos and phrases like 'Get what you deserve' and 'Nosh Doff.' A billboard on top features three people in business attire and the phrase 'is that your best offer?'

It’s your town. Your playground.
Punkville is a living town full of shops, restaurants, bars and workplaces to visit, things to try and people to annoy. From quiet opportunities to questionable decisions, the town is yours to explore. Whether you play it straight or bend the rules a little, how you live your life in Punkville is entirely up to you.
