About This Game
A BRUTALLY HONEST CITY BUILDER
You are the new mayor of a thriving new town in this game with cozy voxel-based graphics inspired by classics like the original SimCity, but with a brutally detailed simulation under the hood. Life of your virtual citizens is simulated in deep detail and based on real-life statistics and studies.
THE STRUCTURES OF EVERYDAY LIFE, SIMULATED
ð Citizens get sick and if there's no hospital capacity, they die waiting for healthcare.
ð¼ If they show up late for work they could get fired.
𤬠Some of them will strongly oppose controversial construction projects in their neighborhood, leading to public backlash and moving away.

ð¤ Landlords are greedy and increase rents when the supply is scarce.
ð©ââ¤ï¸âð© Citizens fall in and out of love and can have children.
ð§ Roads cost thousands of dollars per kilometer, and it's a huge investment for the city.
𥷠When citizens can't find jobs for some time, they consider a career in the criminal underworld.
