Had so much potential and was pretty interesting but the developers have completely abandoned the game. Can't recommend an early access game that wont be receiving anymore updates.

User Reviews
Old school city builder with sc3k and sc4 vibes. Big maps but little content. Game seems abandoned by devs but could really be something if they put some more work into it. Not alot of these type of games anymore. Its fun to start in the 50s. You get cool newspaper updates about the stock market and other events in the world like sporting results and news stories. Building is easy and intuitive. zoning is simple and is fun to watch your city grow as demand seems to always be high. 6.5/10
Game is broken and no longer supported. An attempt to run will give a Bad Shader error and crash to desktop. Tried removing and reinstalling, still no luck.
