The city of Grudziądz was founded by the Teutonic Order in 1291 in the northern part of today's Poland on the Vistula River surrounded by wetlands. The high location on the Vistula embankment meant that the city was struggling with access to clean drinking water from the very beginning of its existence. With the growing number of inhabitants, the problem of water scarcity became an argument for the use of numerous, innovative (on a European scale) technical solutions in Grudziądz...

I absolutely loved this game. Addictive, educational, intense resource management without feeling like I was needlessly micromanaging. The graphics are pretty but tbh I almost never turned off the info overlays to look at them.

now I'm thirsty
