After the success of the town-building game Townscaper it’s no surprise that the genre is expanding. A city-building sandbox game, Gourdlets lets you design your own town tile by tile, then sit back and watch as it populates itself with adorable little vegetable-people who will explore and interact with your creations.
There’s no goal in mind, you just build for the only to never bother with interacting with the Sims themselves. However, unlike and in your creations will get to be used and lived in without any effort on your part. A constant trickle of tiny veggies arrive by train to check out your town and live their own lives. In the demo they’re only able to walk around, but eventually they’ll be able to interact with the environment by doing things like fishing in ponds and building sandcastles on beaches.
