This is a free alpha preview of Orrstead, a city-building simulation game in active development.

Manage resources, unlock technologies, and optimize your layouts to grow efficiently.


Gather resources and build houses, farms, and taverns to keep your citizens happy, increasing the rate at which your city grows. As you unlock technologies, possibilities will grow, as will citizens' demands.


Orrstead will feature a variety of viable city-building options, each with pros and cons. For example, a mining town will be highly productive, but offer a low quality of life. In contrast, a riverside fishing village may be less productive, but offer a higher quality of life. These mid-and-late-game features are in development, and not available in this alpha preview.
