White Star Studio and IndieArk have announced that their historical city-building sim, Thriving City: Song, is now available for PC via Steam early access. Players take on the role of a city mayor tasked with helping build a thriving city. Players can explore ancient China during the Zhao Song Dynasty as the city grows. It is up to the mayor to help townsfolk, manage the town, keep residents happy, and experience the rise and fall of the Empire firsthand through Story Mode.
During early access, players gain access to up to 60 hours of game content, including main concepts, three levels of War Mode, Story Mode, Endless Mode, and other additional content. Developers have plans to add more content to the game, including four more War Mode levels, more game systems, and the addition of the Workshop.
