How it feels
You watch and gently poke an AI-driven town as its inhabitants wander, gossip, and interact on their own, like a buggy but charming diorama.

What players say
Players describe an intriguing but unfinished AI colony simulator that was abandoned within months of release, with no updates after April 2025. The AI frequently fails to keep NPCs alive due to a starvation bug and gets stuck in conversation loops, while visual feedback is minimal. Enthusiasts praise its emergent potential, but many warn the project is dead.
