About Pixel Metropolis
Description
Pixel Metropolis is a cosy city builder that follows one place inspired by Paris across 10,000 years. Lay roads, provide services and shape society while your inhabitants choose where to settle and build their own homes. Each era adds to the city without wiping away the last: its paths, bridges and neighbourhoods gradually tell its story.

- Inhabitants build their own homes in response to roads, resources and services.
