The game is a fine idle city builder, but the scaling costs are INSANE compared to the amount of time one would like to sink on this kind of game. Half the achievements are based on population but after about 170-180 population (where I ended up stopping) its half a trillion to build ONE house that can only hold 2 people! There needs to either be a reduction in scaling costs or more options need to be added in order to gain consistent wisdom as in the game once you get about an hour in you have to wait to get those policies (but from what i have seen even those do not net you enough wisdom in order for the time sink to be meaningful). Overall, good minimialistic idle game if you are looking to kill 2-3 hours of your day. Would not get this game unless it was on sale or until the dev fixes the scaling costs issue.
Changed this review to negative. While it being a relaxing building game with incremental values, once your city reaches around 1.2k citizens bugs will appear, trains will load in the wrong things while it's not on the track, certain processables will just not work unless you destroy and rebuild them, reloading the game does not fix this. And let me not start at the FPSS, trying to play this game at 7FPS while my pc was doing fine is just terrible optimisation from devs part.

Enjoyable lite builder sim. Found the creator's YT channel, enjoyed the content. Figured id support here.
A good small city builder game, only problem is it gets very slow and boring after playing for more than a few hours. Later on, the game is pretty much: get another library and then afk for a few hours to afford another one and repeat.
It is a decent town building/resource management game with a few major limitations (including lack of descriptions of how different buildings function, and severely limited railroad usefulness) but most annoying of all, the game just stopped loading (freezing on a screen that says "Loading Buildings." No other game I play has had an issue loading, but this one just won't play. I played it for almost sixty hours before it started having issues, so I'm not going to request a refund or anything, but it's just a bit annoying.
Funny little game, but with thin content and some unpleasant mobile game like mechanics (for example, why is there a need to collect geodes manually - probably to stimulate the reward system). Not worth the full price.
calming + fun
fun, light hearted, relaxing
Pretty linear and then there is nothing new. Only a few hours of gameplay.
Extremely fun and addicting. The combination of simplicity in the mechanics along with the sandbox city building aspect makes this game very fun and replayable for hours on end. Would recommend.
