The new Survival Sandbox styled game City 20, is officially out now in Early Access on Steam and Epic Games!
The game itself simulates a living world, with NPCs that go about their own daily schedule, and react to your every decision made. Developer Untold Games has stated that no two players will have the same experience, with the game featuring total freedom to shape the world to your own liking.
Here's more about the game as provided by Untold Games.
About:
City 20 is a deep, dystopian life sim set, which uses a complex interplay of mathematical models to portray life within a post-apocalyptic sealed-off settlement. Players will embark upon a highly-dynamic quest for survival as they navigate harsh environmental conditions, make tough societal decisions and encounter organised factions.
No two players will ever have the same journey through the city, as each choice made has a cascading effect on the world, due to the interconnected mechanics underpinning the game, resulting in a completely procedural gameplay experience. These complex systems touch all aspects of gameplay from the titular city’s infrastructure, societal relationships and even the surrounding flora and fauna.
At launch players can experience around ten hours of content as they explore City 20, meet its denizens and explore the surrounding ecosystem. The latter of which plays host to a starting set of animal species, whose behaviour will dynamically change based on player interactions.
Additional content, features, factions and more are planned for City 20, and Early Access launch marks just the beginning of an epic and exciting journey for the game. Content will be added approximately every two months; initially players can expect updates to NPC interactions, the UI and a Lock & Key system - in addition to bug-fixes and further QOL improvements.
A full Early Access roadmap will be published in the coming weeks, and Untold Games will be listening to all community and player feedback to help craft this ambitious game on the road to 1.0.
In the run-up to launch, a short series of videos were published which shone a spotlight on some of the systems at play in City 20 including Social Tension, Electrical System, and Factions.
Key Features:
- Emergent Storytelling: Every citizen of City 20 has their own motivations and relationships. Treat people badly, and your reputation will suffer. Work on maintaining good relations with your neighbours, cheat and steal your way to success - no two stories are the same.
- Dystopic Life Sim: Carefully manage your resources to stay alive in the harsh world of the post-meltdown city. Every decision you make is vital, so take care.
- Unique Aesthetic: Pulling inspiration from the grounded world of speculative fiction, City 20 looks and sounds like nothing else in the genre.
- Reactive Sandbox: This environment reacts to you in a very deep, connected way. Hunt too many rabbits? Predators might start coming closer to town in search of food. Interfere with the City’s water supply? People will start to become desperate. Think through your actions carefully - every small action could have a big reaction in the dangerous world of City 20.
