A downloadable game for Windows

Welcome to City of London 1923!

The golden twenties are in full swing and the city is bustling. As a fresh-faced, ambitious graduate from a top investment bank, you are out to make it big on the booming real estate market of the city of London. There will be 'a few' maintenance hurdles in the way, but nothing to stop you from becoming the city's most prominent housing magnate.

Reach your goal of buying all plots of land in the inner city and reaching liquid assets of at least £50,000!


Made in 4 days for the 2024 GMTK game jam with the theme "Built to scale".

I really liked your game. The colors and the atmosphere in the game is very great. Especially the changes background during the time creates a dynamic atmosphere. I like the mechanics of how to kill the rats :)
