About This Game

Thousands have tried, and many have failed. What made business leaders such as Henry Ford, William Durant, and Karl Benz so great? Could you ever accomplish what they did?

Now is your chance to find out. GearCity is a realistic historically focused economic simulation of the global automobile industry. Unlike tycoon games, GearCity has not been simplified. It is a complex, realistic, in-depth management sim that will take several hours to grasp and hundreds of hours to master. Thousands of players across the globe and industry professionals from automotive engineers to economics professors have praised the game’s intricate details.

GearCity offers a wide variety of design and business choices.

Create chassis, engines, transmissions, and vehicles. Manage production lines, supplies, prices, and employees. Build factories and distribution branches. Set marketing and racing budgets. Negotiate with benefits unions. Adjust dividends on your subsidiaries and enact a hostile takeovers in a feature-heavy stock system. Produce munitions and military equipment for governments at war. Let your imagination free and choose your own path.

Armed with its realistic economic simulator.

GearCity offers several maps with hundreds of cities. For a little less micromanagement, the game also includes territory based maps which are broken down into a few dozen regions. Each map has historically accurate purchasing power, population, population growth, inflation, interest and market growth rates. With correct settings most maps have near historically accurate sales figures, hundreds of static AI and infinite dynamically generated AI competition. All maps also include thousands of historical events that shape world and automotive history such as the Panic of 1907, World War 1, the Post War Recession, The Great Depression, and many more large and small events that will affect your decisions.


If you’re looking for a more realistic, modern version of Detroit or Motor City (Oldtimer), or if you’re looking for a business simulator as in-depth as the fabled Capitalism, or perhaps you’re tired of over-simplified tycoon games and want something much more detailed, look no further. GearCity will fulfill your desire. It is the definitive automotive business management simulator.

Very excellent and in-depth game. I really recommend supporting developer through FBS fundraising since they are still updating the game and you gain access to unreleased DLC. Waiting for their future AeroMogul game :)

I'll buy anything this man makes. I just wish there was more nuance for steam cars.

This is a really nice economic simulator that I can easily recommend, but if you are here to create fantastic looking automobiles like you were playing "Automation", you are not going to get that here, what awaits you are: -Charts -Spreadsheets -A Lot of Replayability -A Satisfying Gameplay Loop of Profit and Progress -A Vehicle Designer that is clunky, cludgy, grumpy, crappy and just underwhelming to use The graphics engine uses DX9.0 and it shows and the designer is sadly just as basic, but if you like watching virtual money pile-up and enjoy the resulting satisfaction of launching successful virtual projects, you will enjoy [i]GearCity[/i], just don't expect to be terribly impressed by the cars you are able to design or the ease of making parts behave.

It was a little tough to figure out. When I first bought it all the tutorials were not coming on line for me.
