FARAWAY TOWN is a small suburban town located ambiguously in the continental United States. It is a peaceful neighborhood featuring rows of normal-looking houses and a few shops visitors can check out occasionally. Its residents are mostly amicable and friendly but a few of them such as the HOOLIGANS occasionally cause trouble on the streets. Each street within FARAWAY TOWN contains four rows of houses where its residents reside. The town also contains a playground, a hidden hangout spot, a plaza filled with local shops and restaurants, and a church to find peace within.
