You carefully reconstruct an ancient capital block by block, guided by historical accuracy, in a patient and methodical city-building experience.

What players say
Players praise the historical accuracy and the unique Fang system that turns building into a puzzle, but they split on whether the fixed map and repetitive filling of identical blocks make it feel more like a map editor than a creative city builder. The streets are nearly empty of NPCs, the economy is slow, and performance problems like stuttering and crashes are common.
