Underline vs Brick City

Underline is a metro builder set in real cities. Pick a city and draw lines across it. Every station you place sits somewhere real, and the passengers who use it are where people actually live and work — the map is built from real population and employment data, so demand isn't invented. Put a station where nobody is, and nobody rides. Choose how each stretch gets built. Tunnel under expensive ground, run elevated, or stay on the surface where there is room. Set how often trains run and how long they are, then watch people find their way across your network — and watch the crowding when you have got it wrong. • 35 cities across five continents, from London to Tokyo to São Paulo • Demand modelled from real population and employment data • Tunnel, elevated and surface track, each with its own cost • Ridership, crowding, revenue and running costs tracked day by day • 110 commissions to complete, from straightforward to genuinely hard • No account, no ads, no tracking, and it works entirely offline • Interface in nineteen languages Five cities — one on each continent — are free, along with fifty of the commissions. A single payment unlocks every other city, the commissions set in them, and unlimited budget if you would rather just build.

Brick City is a gentle town-building game for young mayors. Lay a road, paint some land for homes, shops or factories, and the buildings grow all by themselves. There are no timers, no ads you have to watch and no way to lose. The town grows because you built it somewhere good. • Drag roads, homes, shops and factories onto a green baseplate and watch the neighbourhoods fill in. • Keep the lights on: power plants, water towers, a school, a hospital, a police station and a fire station. • Build a park, a lake, a station, an airport and a ferry, and take the wheel to drive a bus, sail a ferry, put out a fire or chase a getaway car. • Found a whole country of towns, link them with motorways and railways, and unlock wind farms, trade ports, a stock market and a space centre. • Take care of the people: they walk the streets, move in to painted houses and tell you how they feel. • A story to uncover over eight chapters, and a Mayor's Guide that teaches as it goes. • Works offline. No account, no sign-in, nothing to type. No adverts. No in-app purchases.
