I first saw this game in a PC game store back when those still existed. It caught my attention, and I hid it at the back of the shelf so I could buy it the next day. This game became a big part of my childhood. Today, I’m 38, and my sister and I used to love playing it. It’s a mix of strategy and city simulation. Characters have children, and you assign them roles within the city. Managing resources is key—if there’s no food, people starve; if there are no priests to bury the dead, plagues spread. You can appoint a tax collector to increase revenue, but high taxes may lead to crime, requiring an executioner to maintain order. The missions are diverse and engaging. One requires retrieving a relic and defeating a vampire, another involves escorting a sacred cow to a specific location, and another challenges you to prepare your city against an incoming giant invasion. The game constantly tests your strategic thinking while keeping things fresh. I believe more people would love this game if they tried it. A little-known fact is that Raphael Colantonio, creator of Dishonored and Prey, worked on it early in his career. This game holds a special place in my heart, not just for the gameplay but for the nostalgia and memories. Even after all these years, I still think it’s a masterpiece that deserves more recognition, and I would instantly buy it if GOG made it playable today.
Love this game so much. It's not perfect, but the charm and mysterious atmosphere is so strong here. Overall the production quality is pretty high, never had any technical issues, looks great and the music is fantastic.
It was one of the very first video games I owned. Played it so much. And then again way later when I got older.
I remember my sister playing it tons as well. She was just playing the same levels over and over again, spamming chicken coops and loved to build the whole map full. Megatowns!
one of my first games i ever played on pc. pretty dope. The nostalgia is too strong for me that I just cant wait for this to be preserved and be playable today. It's educational and also its one of the first games that lets me manage a medieval town with seasons too. Come on GOG lets get this game playable soon.
