Soviet City
Early access since Mar 2016
Soviet City is a game made up of quick game plays, where building and control is essential. We take a lot from classic city builders. The player takes the role of mayor of the city. Soviet law and economy have their own laws. Every building influences a terror bar. Be careful, because excessive terror level leads to a rebellion.

Evaluation
Soviet City entered Steam Early Access on March 31, 2016. The developer was active in the months following launch, shipping several feature patches through mid-2016 and posting a teaser for new content in March 2017. The last recorded developer communication was on October 7, 2017, when a major UI overhaul and a new building (Sporting Field) were released. Since that date — now nearly nine years ago — there have been no further updates, patch notes, announcements, or developer communications of any kind. The game has never left Early Access, and no 1.0 release date or completion roadmap has ever been published. With no developer activity since October 7, 2017 and the game still officially marked as unfinished, the current development status is deeply uncertain.
Evidence
Last developer communication: a major UI update and new Sporting Field building were released. No posts of any kind have followed since this date.
Developer teased new GUI, options, and new buildings as upcoming content — this was plausibly fulfilled by the October 2017 UI update.

About this game
Soviet City is a game made up of quick game plays, where building and control is essential.
We take a lot from classic city builders. The player takes the role of mayor of the city. Soviet law and economy have their own laws. Every building influences a terror bar. Be careful, because excessive terror level leads to a rebellion. On the other hand, when terror level is too low, the dictator can replace you with a more appropriate person. Limited materials and people disobedience can cause trouble with implementation of five-year plans.
- Every game is a little different. After unlocking perks, your strategy of building has to be evaluated for the higher level.
- Socialism is our launching pad for new genders
- System of building requires your attention. You should ensure that your people are working, not just drinking vodka.
- Some of the buildings can increase or decrease level of terror. Terror determines the effectiveness of all buildings and soviets. Apart from that, it is also the main threat to your regime
- Modern and revolutionist architecture from the soviet bloc, El Lissitzky graphic, soviet dubstep/techno music allow you to feel the atmosphere of soviet country
- Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country
- We can build our future together
