Tower, The (Japan)

A management simulation from OPeNBooK, The Tower has you build and run a skyscraper, arranging offices, shops, lifts and apartments to satisfy a growing population and reach five star tower status. The management of occupant flow, the optimisation of vertical circulation and the patient observation of the building's life are the meditative charm of this singular simulator. The slow pace and the austerity reserve the experience for enthusiasts. For a fan of retro management or someone curious about offbeat simulation, the title keeps a quiet depth and an original concept.
