Could you build this?
Partial The code for an always-on animated town with scene switching and music is vibe-codeable with Canvas or Three.js, but a charming, polished world depends on large amounts of custom art, animation, and audio.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a web game engine (Phaser, PixiJS, or Three.js), a scene manager, and an audio loop system. The hard part is production: sprite and animation art, character design, and composed music for many locations, which requires artists, animators, and musicians. Without that, it stays a tech demo.
