Люди снесли Old Pete — судоверфь. Он первый из компании, кого постигла такая участь. Его безвременный уход был так внезапен... Все забеспокоились.
Если вы сделаны из кирпичей и бетона, то это не значит, что вам не о чем волноваться.
Эта разношерстная группа друзей была здесь с самого начала: можно сказать, вокруг них город строился. Они привели с собой титанов индустрии и сотни других домов; создали множество рабочих мест. Но у Льнокомбината в этом году почти нет заказов на ткани, Склад потерял очередной контракт с соседним городом, а у Старого Банка проблемы с деньгами.
Что-то идет не так. Настает переломный момент. А если они станут следующими?
К счастью, за дело беретесь вы — Отель. Вы твердо намерены навести порядок! Сначала вы думали, что это просто подработка, но проблемы нарастают, как снежный ком: история развивается слишком быстро, угонитесь ли вы за ней?
Buildings Have Feelings Too! — это увлекательная новая игра в жанре «Управление городом». Сюжет строится вокруг зданий и города, в котором они обитают.
Представьте себе город, где здания могут передвигаться и разговаривать друг с другом. У каждого свои стремления, надежды и страхи. В основном они стараются не разругаться друг с другом и пережить очередной день. Развивайте город, чтобы превратить его в оживленный мегаполис с разнообразными магазинами, бизнес- и развлекательными центрами. Заботьтесь о процветании ваших зданий, иначе их могут снести навсегда!

This is an interesting concept and I want to love this game and play it but so far keep running into technical issues while running it. I would only buy this at the really good sale price point. I got it 80% thankfully so I'm not upset but advise anyone curious not to spend full price.
Concerned the game is "dead" as no updates since 2021 and still unanswered forum posts where others run into game breaking issues.
Besides that word of caution, the concept is really cute, nice art and music isn't terrible either. The sound effects are nice. I'm intrigued and want to play it and figure it out so will keep poking around at it for now. Good luck!
I didn't care for the game play. I thought it was city builder management type game but it's not at all. It's a puzzle game. The game play revolves around placing the correct buildings next to each other so that they level up. A rented rooms next to a grocery store next to a pub and so forth. The only thing related to cities is that they are buildings. I suppose the emergent game play is leveling up the buildings and therefore unlocking more buildings with more needs but that just didn't do it for me. I wasn't interested in continuing after the second map. The graphics and art style were nice though and at $3.99 I didn't bother refunding.
TL;DR Great concept, terrible execution. Possibly the definition of form over function.
I want to love this. It's a interesting and engaging concept - anthropomorphised buildings with likes and dislikes all jostling for a position in this weirdly 2D side-scrolling city. Unfortunately, the controls are fiddly & frustrating and the mechanics poorly explained if not simply poorly thought-out.
That the game is difficult is no issue at all - it's an engaging enough concept to make puzzle-solving fun. Alas, the mechanics are so convoluted and unclear that it quickly becomes frustration central.
Although each type of business has set requirements and effects, these are very poorly presented, with the player having to go back through the menu system time and time again to remind themselves of what they are. You will waste such considerable time scrolling through poorly-designed menus that any fun is sapped out of the experience.
As much as I love the idea of anthropomorphic city, this concept would lend itself much better to an abstracted tile-based puzzler with a clean, refined UI able to display all necessary info on mouse-over.
The game is just swell, its charming. Yet all I see is it getting absolutely blasted for every minute problem. It is basically nitpicking. The game is what it is trying to be and does a good job at it. To be honest I don't get the hate, I have read review after review and I have tried all the problems from the reviews and have found none of them to be an issue. The biggest problems are that it gets quite repeative, that the popups for upgrades sometimes don't go away, and that the music is kinda ass. However, all of these are simple fixes. The repeativness is caused when you have to switch to a new place and rebuild all over again, the upgrade glitch can be solved by just going to a different place then returning. Then the music, the music should just be replaced. Other than that it is exactly what you get on the tin. 7/10
The game holds an interesting premise and is really well made, however the mechanics are a little too fussy. You have to many menus and sub-menus to navigate in order to be able to determine the wants and needs of each building, I feel if that was a little more streamlined in how it operated it would make a play through a lot smoother. Its not that its a bad game, just needs a bit more streamlining.
I usually love these types of puzzle games but unfortunately I just couldn't get into it. The game feels really clunky, at least on pc and the playability was more exhausting then it was fun. I feel like most of the time I was just running back and forth, I wish I could have zoomed out a little but there is no option for this. It's a real shame because the art is gorgeous, the music cute and the overall theme of the game is great, unfortunately I just couldn't get into it. The explanation and the guides were a bit much too and the transition between levels needed more explanation/guidance. I play games to have fun, not to read, this games explanations felt like an ikea pamphlet.
A lot of reviews are about strange controls in this game. I just bought it a couple of days ago, but they actually had it updated in August 2021 and they made some changes to the controls. It is now playable by the mouse. (And X-Box controller)
So I don't know exactly how it was, but at the moment, it is actually a fun little game!
The art of the houses is beautiful, It's fun to play and make a nice street with buildings that compliment each other, and the controls are fine.
There is a tutorial, but not everything made sense at the beginning, could be me ofcourse. But I would say; start with this game when you're awake and not sleepy :)
At first the game and its ideas are nice. Once you come to the third neighbourhood, there is no way to go forward with the building permit and somehow remove the orphan homes and there is no help with it at all. After that the game keeps on crashing on steam proton and I can't enter it again. Not playable now, so not recommended.
I had played this at PAX yeeeears ago and was eager to see it come out. It's definitely cute and has a lot of charm, but unfortunately aesthetics does not a good game make.
After two levels, I'm starting to realize that the gameplay basically boils down to "move buildings around to optimize upgrades." That's it. I mean, I only played through the first two levels, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that the game is going to get much more complex than that, which wouldn't be so bad if moving buildings was...somehow better. It's not bad but it's not great. This game feels like it should be fun, but it is not and I can't quite put my finger on why...
But hey, if you like placement management sims maybe this is up your alley, but sadly I can't recommend this game to most folks out there as a fun experience. Cute? Yes. Fun? Meh...
Perfect? No. But charming and challenging? Absolutely. I'd been looking forward to this game since first reading about its development, and bought it on release day. I found several aspects frustrating such as the lack of mouse control, which was fixed almost immediately. Despite the cartoon-ish style, this is not a mindless sandbox toy; you have to think and plan and figure out puzzle-like situations. I felt right chuffed to achieve certain objectives, which reminds me that non-Brits may find some of the terms confusing. If you're tired of the same old games (shooters, zombies, oh how original... not), then you may enjoy hanging out with some happy -- or crabby! -- buildings.
Really loved this game! The controls can be a bit muddled at the start, but once you get them, what unfolds is a beautifully quaint puzzle game. Looking forward to playing even more!
I very much like the concept of this game.
I did not like the initial implementation of it : achievements did not seem to work and in the PC version you got stuck at some point where fulfilling the quest does not let you continue.
They did fix these issues in hotfix #2, so changing my recommendation to 'thumbs up' because of this.
I came into this game hoping that it was an anthropromorphic, side-scrolling city-builder. I loved the graphical style and the idea of the buildings being characters. Instead, I got a slightly obtuse puzzle game. I got stuck at one point because I couldn't continue to upgrade buildings because I needed a resource, but how to get that resource was completely obscured. I think even if you go in looking just for a city-themed puzzle game, you may still find this one frustrating. Not for me.
It might have been a fun game, but those controls *shudder*
They are forever selecting something different than you actually want, or just doing something else
On top of that, the shortcuts are bound in a rather unintuitive way and as far as i saw, not rebindable
I´d be willing to give the game a second chance after the controls are fixed, but for now, i´d say its best to stay clear of this one
Cute and charming puzzle game with just absolutely terrible controls and hampered by a poorly designed tutorial.
The controls are keyboard focused, it's VERY fiddly to use WASD to move correctly and select specific objects or spaces, and the keys used in menus change from panel to panel. It's not intuitive or friendly at all. Just as an example: when you open up the game, there's a button next to "New Game" labelled "A". If you push the "A" key, because that's what you do when a button is on a menu and labelled with "A", the icon suddenly changes to a space bar, and that's what you actually have to press to start.
The tutorial didn't start for me until I'd begun testing keys to see what moved me around, and frequently the bread crumb trail was missing or hidden - it would often wait until I had opened a menu before popping up, but never indicated to open that menu, or would be indicated by a talk icon slightly larger than the normal talk icon.
If you're willing to slog along with it, or if hotfix for some level of mouse support they just dropped is any good, it seems like it's a good set of puzzles with very adorable buildings nattering on in the background. I'm not sure that I am.
This game is a lovely puzzle. It plays very similarly to Reus. You place can place different buildings along a limited number of horizontal spaces. Each kind of building can hold different kinds of businesses like apartments, cafes, and the like. Each building provides benefits (and sometimes costs) to their neighbors which when stacked properly allows you to upgrade them. Fully upgrading a building unlocks more advanced buildings as well. Unlike Reus, the missions are not timed, and a core mechanic is that you can pick up and shuffle building locations with a cute jogging animation. So, the game is much more forgiving in that sense.
This game also has a very easy UI, and I find it easy to gather necessary information. I can quickly see what each building gives to its neighbors and wants from them. If a building needs something (like vegetables), I can quickly see what possible neighbors could fill that need. The menu also has an easy to use encyclopedia of buildings unlocked and the next rung available to unlock. By comparison, I had to make a notebook full of combinations and upgrade paths when I play Reus.
I have played the first half dozen missions, and I quite like the game. The art, dialogue, and music is charming. The puzzle is engaging though not overly difficult. The only real challenge in a game is that you must keep buildings happy or they fall into disrepair and shut down. If you upgrade a building, it comes to expect certain benefits from its neighbors. So, swapping out that grocery store may cause the whole neighborhood to slowly collapse. This is easy enough to avoid with some foresight or a quick reshuffling. My only complaint about this mechanic is that there is no undo button. If I miscalculate and swap an fully upgraded building for something else, I may not be able to recreate that fully upgraded building fast enough to save the neighborhood.
I haven't had the same frustration with controls that other people have. I prefer to use the xbox controller over the keyboard, but both seem fine. It did take me a few missions to realize that I could shift buildings down rather than stress about placing them exactly where I wanted them - perhaps this is what frustrated other reviewers? The game seems bug-free.
I am not sure there is as much depth as Reus, but I also haven't gotten to the highest levels yet. It is also unclear if there is a sandbox mode. Perhaps there will be once I beat the game?
If you enjoy combo puzzles like Reus or Islanders, you'll enjoy this game.
Charming City Building Puzzle Game. Annoying controls.
I wish they would have implemented proper mouse control. Controls are clunky and they made me quit after a while.
It's as if you are on a nice bike ride in a pretty environment and the chain falls out every 1 minute. You just dont want to go on anymore. Quite sad...
This game is pretty fun, but the controls are a bit awkward, and it's easy to get stuck in the Tutorial. It's a unique idea, and I've played enough games that I love unique ideas. So I would recommend this game, if you want something unique and interesting. But understand that a big part of the "game" is fighting the controls.
A big part of the problem stems from the fact that you can't go straight left-right when selecting a spot to build. If you go past the spot you are trying to select and turn around, you jump to the other side of your avatar, which is 4-5 building spots over. So selecting the right spot is tricky.
Then there is the fact that sometimes left mouse click can sub for space, an other times it can't. Which is confusing. And the first time they throw you into the tab menu in the tutorial (to look up 'Construction' and figure out how to construct a building) they haven't yet explained to you that 'Q' is the way to go back, so I got stuck there pressing escape and button mashing. HINT: If you are stuck in the tutorial try pressing "Q" not "ESCAPE".
Put all this together and it feels like a big part of the game right now is fighting the UI, and not solving the puzzles.
Another big one -- when I want to move a building just let me click drag a building, and not do that whole lead it somewhere thing, when selecting the place you want to put it is so hard (see above). Add to that that the buildings will move over if you accidentally place a new building in the wrong spot. The puzzle should be figuring out where to put the buildings not struggling to select the right spot to put teach one multiple times.
Charming, whimsical, and unique.
Hampered by clunky controls (KB/M or Controller)
Refunded - I really don't like to have to wrestle with basic controls.
I had to give this game a go just before going to bed! I've had it in my wish list for such a long time and it's finally here.
Is it as silly as I expected it to be? Yes! Is it fun? Yes.
I'm an average gamer and I take games as they are, without expecting things that they don't oversell. The lack of options didn't bother me, I just hit Alt+Enter for windowed and lowered the volume on my speakers and I was ready to go.
From the "first area" which I completed, I can understand how it might become more difficult in putting the combos together. From the "map" it seems like there are quite a few areas, so I feel that this is a game you'll come to on and off and enjoy progressing through it and playing it for what it is. So for me, it is definitely something I'll be spending a weekend on with a cup of coffee.
Is this the game for you?
Take a look at the trailers, take a look at the screenshots. If it gets you excited to play it, I say go for it. Watching other people play it first, might spoil your experience in it. I think you know whether you'll like this game or not. It is not aimed at Hardcore CS GO players that want to play something while the team comes together.
If you're not sure, it's probably why you're looking through the reviews :D Take a look at your wallet and go with your honest gut feeling.
Utterly charming! The animation of each building as it toddles along had me grinning!
You settle into the rhythm of it after about 10 minutes and it becomes something that draws you in to play more and more. I enjoyed this take on the city builder genre and am looking forward to more time with this one
