▶ We have tried to capture the essence and beauty of Santorini.
In order to bring the beauty of Santorini into the game, our team headed to Santorini. We walked an average of 16,000 steps daily for a week and worked diligently to observe the island's details. While seeing major tourist destinations, landmarks, and beautiful scenery, we have captured photos and videos. With over 200,000 photos and video data collected, we were able to implement Santorini's major tourist destinations, beautiful villages, and buildings as game content. We hope that you will be able to feel the beauty of Santorini with its bright sunshine and deep blue of ​​the Mediterranean Sea, wonderful caldera views, beautiful villages, landmarks, historic sites, museums, and colorful sandy beaches!

▶ Be sure to listen to music that moves with the winds of Santorini.
Our team have worked hard to express the beauty of Santorini to the fullest. We have sought out for a music that could convey our senses and emotions we were feeling. While exploring Santorini with this in mind, we came across Kleopas Thanasis serendipitously, a musician playing traditional Greek instruments in the small village of Pyrgos. His performances contained the beautiful melody and the mysterious sensibility of Santorini, which we were mesmerized by for some time while listening. We were able to get in touch with him and communicate about type of music theme we were looking for. After agreeing on a deal, we were able to get 10 beautiful songs through the email. We thank Kleopas Thanasis again for the great music.

*Santorini is an island formed by one of the volcanic eruptions in history and is a famous tourist destination in Greece in the Aegean Sea, located east of the Mediterranean Sea.

### 1/5 — Consternant

*2025-08-18, version 1.3.0*

Consternant....

### 4/5 — のんびりBGMを楽しみながらやるゲーム

*2023-08-28, version 1.3.0*

爽やかなギリシャの島に、白と青基調の街並みを創る街づくりゲーム。
実際のサントリーニ島を1度画像などで見てから始めると街並みのイメージが湧きやすく楽しいです。

創れる街は全部で3つ。
1つから始まって、レベルが上がっていくとひとつずつ増えていきますが、2つ目以降の街に着手するのは1つ目の街をきちんと作りこんでからでも遅くありません。
正直レベル30を過ぎてもお金が足りないくらいなので、最初の街をお金稼ぎ用にしっかり作って育てるのがオススメです。

建築物件が買える数は常に4件固定。
レストランやホテルなどカテゴリーはごちゃ混ぜで、一定時間が過ぎると小さなベルが鳴り、買える物件がランダムで変わります。
しかも値段が固定ではなく、更にレベルに従って徐々に上がっていきます。

物件にはランクがあり、購入する時は常に☆1。
ランクアップさせるには建設後に同じ物件を合成する必要があります。
ですが、手持ちの物件数が確認し辛い為、必要以上に特定の店を購入してしまったり、逆にランクアップさせたい物件がなかなか購入欄に出てこなかったりするのもしばしば。

ですが、イライラしたり急いだりするゲームではないので、そこも含めて楽しめる人がプレイに向いていると思います。

デベロッパーさんに希望する事なのですが、手持ちの物件の種類だけではなく、物件数もパッと見て分かるような表示をして頂けると嬉しいですね。
現在、自分が持っている物件を確認する手段が、新しい土地に物件を建てる画面での選択画面だけであり、被っている建物もそのまま横にずらずらと他の物件と一緒に出てくるので、結局何件同じ物件を持ってるか分かりづらいんです。
なので評価を☆4にさせていただきました。

あとは日本語訳が若干おかしくて変な名前表記のお店は多少気にはなりますが、逆に名前が覚えやすくてある意味、味です。
これはこれでいいかなと思います。

最後に、広告を見ることで客船を呼んだりと、何かと広告を自分の選択で見る場面がありますので、そういうのが気になる方はご注意を。

ですが基本的には画面に広告が出ませんし、ライフワーク的にのんびりと街づくりしたい方には穏やかなオススメのゲームです。

### 5/5 — 終於玩到了，之前一直閃退

### 2/5 — Trop de pub

*2022-05-14, version 1.3.0*

### 3/5 — 一開始還不錯 玩到後來都差不多有點無聊

*2022-04-24, version 1.3.0*

入題

### 5/5 — 之前購買沒有收到的物品收到了

*2022-04-19, version 1.3.0*

如題

### 2/5 — Обновите игру

*2022-02-16, version 1.3.0*

Ничего нового не происходит
В какой-то момент просто даже заданий нет в одном из городов. Написано что то армянском. Бесконечное выжидание и тыканье 
Может пора обновить версию?
