About ShantyTown

ShantyTown is a relaxing diorama-building game about finding beauty in everyday chaos. Bring new locations to life, stack your urban buildings high, and fill each little nook and cranny with your own touch. Even messiness has its own little charm.

ShantyTown is a calm, atmospheric builder where players create improvised neighbourhoods in unexpected spaces. Players stack shops, tuck rooftop gardens into corners, and build by instinct rather than rules. Four years in the making, the project has evolved from a modest experiment into a complete, thoughtfully crafted game that reflects the charm and honesty of imperfect design within dense cities.
