At Rezzed, you’ll see games at various stages of development, some near finished, others at their concept stage. Circadian City is certainly the latter, but boy, what a concept.
At the moment, Circadian City looks to be very much in the vein of a city based version of Stardew Valley. There’s no farming, but there’s making friends and completing missions in a similar fashion.
The short demo saw me take on the first basic mission of making breakfast. Combining eggs with the cooker, all with a little help from a phone-based overprotective mother. Then I moved on to exploring the city outside. At this stage of development there isn’t much to do here. You’ll speak to NPCs and have the option to do missions for them, but those aren’t in the game yet.
What I could do was explore, and this section of the game featured a coffee shop, church, convenience store and park. Developer Nowhere Studios are planning further areas to explore, as well as the ability to delve into the protagonist’s dreams. The bigger concept is huge: Nowhere Studios want you to make friends and hang out, play board games but actually play them, play basketball and actually play basketball.
It’ll be a hell of a game to pull off, but Circadian City enters Early Access in Summer 2019, and the developers plan on working on the game for ‘a few years’ to fit in all the features they want.
