Build a Silesian city in the 80s and 90s, full of industry, history and humour
Your city. Your story. Your shift.
Welcome to Silesia in the 1980s and 1990s! Coal mines are working, steelworks need raw materials, and residents are waiting for homes, reliable water supplies and something to do after work. Take the mayor’s seat and build a city with a soul of its own.
Szychta ’80 is an isometric city-building and management game combining the pleasure of planning with the region’s industrial character, history and warm local humour.
BUILD YOUR CITY YOUR WAY
Designate residential, commercial and industrial zones. Watch traditional brick workers’ homes, prefabricated apartment blocks, shops and factories appear. Build schools, hospitals, parks, cultural venues and sports facilities. Choose your city’s name, coat of arms and the face of its mayor.
INDUSTRY POWERS THE REGION
Develop mines and steelworks, secure coal supplies and produce steel. Provide electricity, water, gas and telephone connections. Sell surplus resources to neighbouring cities, but remember: chimneys create jobs, while smog creates problems.
KEEP YOUR CITY MOVING
Buy buses, develop a radio taxi service and send rubbish trucks out onto the streets. Repair roads, balance the budget and respond to fires, breakdowns and unhappy residents. Listen to your advisers and introduce city ordinances — every solution has benefits and costs.
DISCOVER SILESIA’S CHARACTER
Explore stories about Silesian streets, lakes and distinctive architecture. Discover real local names of mines, steelworks and cinemas. Read your city newspaper for events inspired by the era, cinema programmes, local football results and traditional Silesian jokes. Someone at city hall will always have something to say about your decisions.
A CLASSIC GAMING ATMOSPHERE
The isometric map and interface draw inspiration from the classics of the 1990s. If you remember planning cities in SimCity 2000 and 3000 or spending hours with Transport Tycoon, you will feel a familiar atmosphere. Hand-painted 2D artwork, music and city sounds bring the setting to life.
