You are the lone force standing against urban comfort and livability, and your weapon is an ocean of asphalt.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s satire, yes, right down to the little anthropomorphic steering wheel who lives in the corner of your screen and implores you to flatten, pave, and homogenise the Earth. But it&#8217;s also bloody good\u2014an almost perfect aesthetic recreation of hallowed sims of yore: games like Theme Park, Rollercoaster Tycoon, and the like. It&#8217;s transportive\u2014which I suppose is appropriate\u2014moving you back to the blocky polygonal worlds and sprite-based punters of a simpler, more &#8217;90s era.<\/p>\n<p>But it does not rest on its laurels. It&#8217;s rather fun to dirty your hands in the business of buying up swathes of useful public land\u2014filled with dense housing, public transport infrastructure, and other assorted vectors of communism\u2014and bulldoze the hell out of it. Get that stuff outta here!

This is great news. As you annihilate downtown apartment blocks (literally buying up their land, evicting their tenants, and bulldozing the buildings) the rubes you&#8217;ve kicked out need somewhere else to go. You have just the place: utterly unsustainable suburbs with zero transport links, where cars are as vital as air.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s the perfect scam: as you convert more of the world into car parks, the demand for car parks increases, and anyone you can&#8217;t more-or-less deport into car-dependence you can target with literal propaganda\u2014billboards, loudspeaker-equipped vans, that kind of thing. In the event of public objection to your onslaught (which can happen\u2014populations are prone to get restive as you hollow out their infrastructure right under them), simply deploy your own cops.
