Microlandia is a meticulously accurate city builder with a complex simulation under the hood.
The structures of everyday life, simulated
聽Citizens get sick and if there's no hospital capacity, they die waiting for healthcare.
聽If they show up late for work they could get fired.
聽Some of them will strongly oppose controversial construction projects in their neighborhood, leading to public backlash and moving away.
聽When companies don't make ends meet, they go bankrupt and unemployment rises.
聽Landlords are greedy and increase rents when the supply is scarce.
聽Citizens fall in and out of love and can have children.
聽When citizens can't find a job for some time, they consider a career in the criminal underworld.
Hard decisions with strong impact
聽Tax rates for property, income, sales and corporate revenue changes shape the economics of your city in complex ways.
聽City infrastructure is a huge investment for the city.
聽Fees for car licenses, public transport, tourism and business incorporation shifts the delicate balance between city revenue and people's incentives.
聽A newspaper tracks your every move and reports on all the city's happenings and problems you will be blamed for.
聽Rezoning land is extremely difficult as you need to compensate the property owners and inhabitants.
聽Recessions, heatwaves, pandemics and other random events will test your capacity and planning.
Modeled after data from real cities
聽Simulation mechanics are carefully modeled after publications like World Bank Open Data, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Equity Atlas, Center for Urban Future and more.
聽The objective is to build a good enough simulation so it can provide real insights into the social, economic, and environmental challenges of modern life.
聽The simulation parameters are open and we have a live generated page in our website where you can read all about the inner workings of the sim.
Active development
聽The game is under active development and we have ambitious plans for years to come. In new versions, we aim to add new mechanics, features and make the simulation deeper to capture the complexity of city life in great detail.
聽There will be no Microlandia 2. Instead, we will keep updating and improving.
聽No DLCs or expansions. All content updates will be included in future versions.
聽No in-game purchases, we believe it's the worst invention since pineapple in pizza.
