How it feels

a serene and meditative city-building experience where you gently guide a village through exploration and trade in an ancient inspired setting.

What players say

Players praise the Chinese watercolor art and relaxing music, but many criticize poor numerical balance in later levels and the lack of basic features like pause and speed controls. A recurring complaint is that resource collection and building upgrades require excessive manual clicking, and the removal of the demo hurt word-of-mouth.
