About Viva Ponata

Viva Ponata is a text-based life sim set in the film business. Build a career, start a studio, shoot films, buy property, travel, and get into as much trouble as you dare.

How does the game work?

You spend energy and time on jobs, training, crimes and fights, earn money and experience, and use them to climb: better homes, a studio of your own and a place in the Hall of Fame. A few minutes a day is enough, or play as long as you like.

Is it really free to play?

Yes. Creating an account and playing are free, in your browser on your phone or computer. Nothing to download.

Anything I should know?

It is for adults (18+) and has mature themes, but nothing explicit. It is a work in progress: new features arrive every week and some areas are still being built.

Your story starts on a park bench.

Invite a friend and you both earn rewards.
