Thursday, April 22, 2021, Manchester, UK – Merge Games, together with Blackstaff Games and Northern Ireland Screen, is delighted to announce the unique city-management/puzzle game, Buildings Have Feelings Too! is out today on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Traditional city-sim games involve players building and developing a metropolis for their digital community to inhabit. Buildings Have Feelings Too! tuns the genre on its head with the buildings taking centre stage and the inhabitants reduced to a mere currency in a game that’s all about regeneration and urban planning. Brick by brick buildings must band together as over time communities and neighbourhoods are constructed with new purpose and shared goals. Do you have what it takes to turn this city into the metropolitan empire it yearns to be? Remember, Buildings Have Feelings Too!
Buildings Have Feelings Too! is proud to have received funding support through Northern Ireland Screen’s Assembler Programme (http://www.northernirelandscreen.co.uk/).
Buildings Have Feelings Too! is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One priced $19.99 / €19.99 / £14.99.
