Cool idea and aesthetic, but can't recommend it after getting through the surface level of things

Cool idea and aesthetic, but can't recommend it after getting through the surface level of things. After the initial bootstrapping of your city the game really just involves..... waiting. Even on max speed it takes on the order of hours to accrue research or money needed to expand. Your worker drones will hit their work capacity probably an hour if not two before you are able to improve the network in any way; that is if you know how to beeline the needed infrastructure and abuse the tutorial to ignore your city's needs. City Sims are largely passive games, but this game wants to be an idler you leave running in the background. Too bad it seems to pause if it isn't in focus.

Someone obviously loved this, and put a lot of hard work into it

Someone obviously loved this, and put a lot of hard work into it. It shows. Overall the game is fun. There are some significant flaws, but they can generally either be overlooked, or worked around. Positive: - Visuals and 'feel' are well done - Resource management is fun, watching a city grow up from nothing is great. - Although thin, it has a plot and advancement in this plot feels rewarding. Negative: - Events need serious work: the game will give you objectives that are physically impossible to complete with what you have, then punish you when you fail to fulfill them. These can be turned off, which I did. - At times, the game can feel samey/grindy. Once you have a well-balanced setup, it can be a matter of accumulating enough (item) to proceed. At one point, I got tired of waiting, and literally went out to do errands while the meter finished filling. - At times, the mechanics of the game are not clear and you have to learn by trial and error. Use more than one save file! - The English in the game is iffy.
