To all my fellow mayors!

My name is Dora Özsoy, one of the lead Producers from Rogue Duck Interactive. While you probably know me for another city-building game called Cardboard Town, we’re incredibly excited to be bringing our next take on the genre called Mini City: Mayhem to this Fall edition of Steam Next Fest. A free demo is available to download right now, and don't forget to support us by wishlisting Mini City: Mayhem.

While Cardboard Town was more of a roguelite city builder, Mini City: Mayhem is different. We designed the latter more like a marriage of a cozy city builder with shape puzzle gameplay mechanics, and a rush against the clock aspect to it. But there’s more behind it than just that!



It is your job as the freshly elected mayor of a town to turn a little plot of land into a bustling metropolis. Manage your resources, lay the foundation for important hubs for your expanding city, and watch as your populace grows. However, in Mini City: Mayhem, every second counts, so there's no time to relax and take pride in your work.





To make sure that your city grows and meets the needs of its residents, you'll need to act swiftly and wisely. In addition to strategically placing and stacking puzzle pieces depending on form to distribute vital structures like as residences, companies, and public services, roads must be thoughtfully designed to connect your buildings in an effective manner.





Is the fast-paced city building not your thing? Then you'll be glad to know that we have something for all kinds of aspiring Mayors. Relax and play at your pace with Zen mode, or reduce the clock down speed with Patient mode, and more coming in the full release. Plus, Mini City: Mayhem features different starting maps inspired by outlines of iconic real and fantasy cities such as Pisa, Istanbul and New York, each with their most famous landmarks including the torre di Pisa, Galata Kulesi and the Statue of Liberty.



So there we have it mayors, and we can’t wait to hear what you think about the game so far! We’ll be hard at work in the coming weeks to work on enhancing this game, while analyzing player’s reaction, feedback and more.
