Nice and relaxing

chill game :)

Good, great concept, please expand on it.

It's a very chill and easy city builder. If you want complex optimization, this game is not for you but if you like to overproduce stuff and continue building buildings and expanding your population, it probably is. The game gives you each building in a specific order so you can easily learn what each building does and why you might need it. It leaves the economic repercussions of certain things up to the player to discover, so it's not a stale tutorial. It's simply perfect for unwinding.

NIce Game. But late game too slow and boring

This is touted as a minimalist city builder, and they do mean that. I want to like this game, but it only really has a couple hours of content. After that, the path to progression become needlessly tedious, mindless and a little broken (as in, the game stops working properly). While the visuals, music, and general gameplay are all charming, I'll highlight the problems that made me give this a negative review. -The game doesn't use scientific notation. This generally isn't a problem when your below a million wisdom (money) in this game, but there is no guide as to the acronyms they are using. I don't know what novemdecillion means, and the acronyms aren't always obvious (the game doesn't tell you what they mean all the time). It would have made far more sense to use scientific notation. If you play this game for more than an hour, you'll quickly run into this problem. -After about 20 in game years, the seasonal timer stops progressing. Pretty sure this is a glitch, and the only way to progress is to have the game on fast forward at all times. If you get high enough, the only way to get to the next season is to close and open the game. -Wisdom geodes only give their reward some of the time. -Trees take WAY to long to unlock. I was nearly 100 hours in before I had all the trees. -Hungry people don't eat. I had a large stop in one of my cities because I had plenty of food but no one was eating it. Since this is a minimalist city builder, I could look up citizen paths, store coverage, or production chain info because again, this is a minimalist city builder with none of those features. It made it extremely hard to fix any cities that had this problem. -The last achievements are borderline impossible if you don't want to sink hundreds of hours into this game, and it just isn't worth that kind of time. All in all, there are other city builders worth your time more than this one.
