How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Townscaper
More toy than game: you click on the water and houses, arches, stairs and gardens appear, adapting by themselves to what you've already built. There are no goals or scores, just the calm of creating beautiful towns.
