Urban Protocol

Urban Protocol – A city-building strategy game

Urban Protocol is a premium strategy and city-building game set in a near-future world where governments use data, infrastructure, and behavioral systems to optimize society.

Players assume the role of a Directorate Administrator responsible for building and governing a growing smart city. Unlike traditional city builders focused primarily on economics and traffic, Urban Protocol challenges players to balance prosperity, public wellbeing, stability, compliance, and civil liberties.

The game combines city-building mechanics inspired by SimCity and Anno with the societal and political decision-making found in Frostpunk and Victoria. Players construct districts, develop infrastructure, enact policies, manage crises, and decide how far a society should go in pursuit of safety and efficiency.

A distinctive visual identity, immersive worldbuilding, and a unique governance-focused gameplay loop position Urban Protocol within an underserved niche of strategy games centered on societal engineering and statecraft.

The project is currently in active development, with a focus on building a highly polished, systems-driven experience for players on Steam.
