Patron

Patron is a debut production of an independent studio Overseer Games. The title is an economic strategy with survivalist elements. Our task is to build a prosperous city that can survive social conflicts and natural disasters.

We play as the title Patron, the administrator of the settlement, whose expansion is our goal. The game takes place in real time. As a Patron we give orders to the villagers: we order construction of buildings or extraction of natural resources hiding on our lands. We can spend the gained resources on improving our constructions. New buildings, technologies and abilities can be unlocked through an extensive research tree.

A unique feature of the game is the simulation of society. Inhabitants of our city are unique, randomly generated, each of them has their own views, desires, needs and priorities. Some residents are concerned about immigration, others want better education, health care, or lower taxes. Residents are divided into four social groups: farmers, workers, merchants, and aristocracy. Residents belonging to different groups have different qualifications and may work in different professions. The key to success is to maintain good relations with each group. Otherwise, people will begin to leave your city or riot against the government.

Managing the city, the player must be ready for unexpected difficulties. Playing Patron, we face natural disasters such as fires, tornadoes or severe frosts. Economic problems are also waiting for us. To survive hard times, we have to be ready for any eventuality, provide protection for our citizens and take care of our foreign trade relations to be able to buy necessary resources in case of shortage.

Patron includes a single player mode only.

The game can boast a simple, but nice and clear graphic design. You may like the clear interface and weather effects.
