The verdict
A gorgeous, cozy voxel city builder focused on decorating with light management. Skip it if you want strategic depth or have a modest PC, since big cities lag badly.
Great for
Cozy, creative players who love decorating towns at their own pace without stress
Main risk
Heavy lag, high GPU/CPU load and crashes once your city grows past a few hundred residents
What changed in the last 30 days
53 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews point to performance issues in big cities, high GPU use, and the artisan/bourgeoisie shift making progression tedious. Evidence is limited to a few reviews.
