What it does

Build quaint island towns with curvy streets. Build small hamlets, soaring cathedrals, canal networks, or sky cities on stilts. Block by block. No goal. No real gameplay. Just plenty of building and plenty of beauty. That's it.

Instant town building toy. Place housing blocks and watch them transform, piece by piece, into idyllic ocean-side towns, pastoral gardens, or sweeping cities on the sea.

“A pleasant toy for building your own idyllic seaside getaways.” 8/10 – PCGamer “A great choice if you just want to relax and let your imagination flow.” Vandal You can use this widget-maker to generate a bit of HTML that can be embedded in your website to easily allow customers to purchase this game onfrom store.steampowered.com
