How it feels

A contemplative, text-heavy management experience where you deliberate over moral dilemmas and balance citizen needs through an intuitive swipe interface.

What players say

Players compare it to Reigns but as a voiced visual novel where you manage a city as an AI. The writing and characters are praised, but many find the binary choices arbitrary and the story more linear than promised. A save-corrupting bug on chapter reset is widely reported.
