Build a glittering cyberpunk metropolis from scratch. Place buildings, lay roads, survive disasters — and work toward constructing the ultimate megastructure.
// WORLD IN NUMBERS
// WHAT'S INSIDE
Place structures across multiple tiers and upgrade each one for stronger output.
Lay roads to unlock a 20% credit bonus for connected buildings. Watch tiny pixel cars drive through your city in real time.
9-keyframe lighting cycle shifts from dawn amber to midnight neon. Building windows flicker. Street lamps glow. Your city breathes.
Switch between clear, fog, and rain. Particle rain fills the air. Volumetric fog obscures distant towers. Each weather changes the city's mood.
Fires, earthquakes, and floods strike randomly. Buy insurance to halve the damage. 12-second warnings give you time to brace for impact.
Timed city events and narrative story cards keep changing the shape of each run.
Rolling goals keep giving you concrete short-term targets with resource rewards.

Rendered at 480×360 and stretched with nearest-neighbour filtering for that chunky retro look. Scanlines and CRT vignette included.
// HOW TO PLAY
Pick a city palette — Decayed, Corporate, or Rebellion — each with different terrain colours and tile distributions.
Click any unlocked ground tile to open the build menu. Start with Tier 1 buildings — shanties, food stalls, noodle bars — to grow your population and credit flow.
Connect buildings with roads for a 20% credit bonus. Watch cars spawn and drive through your district as the network grows.
Purchase locked land tiles to grow your city footprint. Upgrade buildings up to 3 times. Unlock Tier 2 and 3 structures as your population and data rates climb.
Manage your budget, react to events, and keep the district stable enough to grow.
The ultimate endgame is constructing the Arcology once your city can sustain it.
