About This Demo

HistoriCity: Florence is a mission-based citybuilder/colony sim where you rebuild Renaissance Florence in the aftermath of the Black Plague.

Build iconic landmarks like the Florence Cathedral, hire renowned Masters like Michelangelo, and uncover cultural relics like the Remains of Saint Zenobius, all to unlock powerful abilities and revitalize your city. Experience pivotal moments in history such as the Bonfire of the Vanities through a comprehensive and branching set of narrative missions.

Fulfill your citizens’ complex and varied needs to achieve the highest levels of housing, planning districts strategically to maximize population density and unlock the most transformative upgrades. Overcome recurring survival challenges like drought which devastates crop yields. Manage your economy and build efficient production chains to refine raw resources into valuable commodities for consumption or trade.

Easily manage your workforce with intuitive job wheels, place structures freely, even before you have the resources to finish them, and stay immersed with a sleek minimalist UI, subtle tooltips, and clear mission objectives that gently guide you through the mechanics.

Enjoy a relaxing soundtrack of actual Italian Renaissance lute compositions, expertly performed by renowned Renaissance lutenist Elizabeth Pallett.
