City Inc
A cube-farm city builder from Sweden: kvadd's tidy 2017 incremental.
by kvadd (Martin Johansson) · 7 February 2017 · Web
City Inc is kvadd's 2017 city-building incremental from Sweden: a tidy cube-farm metropolis where workers occupy buildings, buildings pay taxes, and the whole thing scales from a single office to a skyline. Listed complete by the wiki, still live at cityinc.se.
What the loop feels like
You place a building, workers fill it, and its rent funds the next building. That's City Inc.
The cube-farm grows, automation handles the clicking, and the angular little city becomes genuinely pleasant to look at. That's City Inc.

The verdict
A clean, complete city-builder incremental with Scandinavian restraint: it does the zoning-and-rent loop properly, never bloats, and finishes. r/CityInc remains small and fond.
