Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Gameplay
As part of the Tomodachi Life franchise, players will be able to create and interact with characters called Miis, who then populate the in-game island and live out their lives there.
Miis can perform a range of social interactions, such as visiting other Miis and establishing connections, perhaps even eventually falling in love. Players, on the other hand, keep the Miis happy and well fed by feeding them food, dressing them up with costumes, and making their homestead dazzling and beautiful with different furniture sets.
