Foreword

This demo represents an early version of the game, focused on showcasing the gameplay and aesthetic. While there's no main story yet, you’ll get a feel for the city and the systems that drive it.

Please note: The WebGL version may encounter performance issues due to optimization constraints. If you run into any problems, we recommend downloading the executable version for a smoother experience.

Expect updates over time as more features, content, and polish are added. Your feedback is welcome as the game continues to evolve!
