About this game

Tokio: Tokyo-to Dai 24-ku of Tokyo is a sci-fi city simulator from Artdink, the company behind the A-Train economy sim series. Playing it will require careful planning, improvisation, and correspondence with your city's constituents to fix problems and make everyone happy. You can personally telephone residents to hear their opinions, or even tune in on various TV channels to survey Tokio. Every little counts: your political party platform, the techno-industrial automation needed to power Tokio & its economy, and even space tourism via space shuttles and other programs—among others! Elements like artificial gravity, weather control, and orbital mining can also make or break your term as mayor, so manage it all to the best of your ability.

You're the mayor of Tokio-ku, a near-future, cylindrical space station & district of Japan's capital orbiting Earth. It's your job to manage this colony, from building facilities, issuing ordinances, and scheduling shuttle trips to, from and around the planet. Starting you with only two thousand residents, Japan's government expects Tokio to grow into a booming, international metropolis of its own. Everyone living, working, and holding office here has high hopes for your leadership and decision making—don't disappoint even a simple majority, or you won't get re-elected!
