Common questions
FAQCan I enjoy KeyWest RP without friends?
Yes — building a house, working jobs, and exploring the island alone is a complete experience on its own. That said, the game is designed with social play in mind, so having even one friend along makes things noticeably more fun.
Do I need a car to make progress?
No, the island is small enough to navigate on foot throughout the game. A car just speeds up travel to distant parts of the map.
What should I do if the game runs slowly?
Open Roblox settings and reduce the graphics quality level. If that does not help, close the app completely and relaunch it.
