You want to build beautiful cities without investing hours on end into stressful resource management? Say no more! ISLANDERS should be right up your alley.

The gameplay of ISLANDERS is pretty intuitive. You start with a set of buildings in your inventory that you can place on your island. Placing buildings is rewarded with points. The amount of points you get depends on what surrounds the buildings when you place them. Gather enough points to refill your inventory and unlock new buildings.
Once your city is big enough you may choose to travel to the next island (they are generated procedurally, so you can literally keep exploring forever). If you run out of buildings the game ends. This is where you high five yourself for beating the high score, take a proud last glance at the epic city you've built and start just one more round...

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I already owned that game on another platform, but completely forgot about it. I bought it on GOG and as soon as I started playing I fell in love with this game again. It's so charming and relaxing. A perfect little game to play when you are tired and just want something nice to do. I really like the art style and while this game is really simple, there is a lot of room to pertect your build. I'm not really into hardcore optimizing, so I just try to do it as best as I can, while not stressing over it too much. But I wouldn't be surprised if they were some try-hards who really perfected their gameplay. While I really like this game, I doubt most people will get a lot of playtime out of it. Just play it for a few hours, then uninstall it and do it again a few weeks or even months later.
This game took away my anxiety / depression.
Toggle some presets to generate a type of island across multiple types of biomes and climates (desert / rocky / rainy / snowy) and build away.
Build your island the way you want it and save it.
Move on and build the next island.
Get it on sale and de-stress at the end of a long day of work. I've tried FPS, strategy, racing etc., and while this is certainly not as exciting as those, this has no potential of making your day worse.
The game consists of placing certains models that are assigned a base point value and increase or decrease in value depending on where they are placed. The points build up to a certain threshold so you can move to the next island. Very simple game, but very frustrating when you lose after hours of playing.
