Sunkissed City

Life-sim RPG set in a declining seaside city you're helping rebuild. You plant DIY gardens in vacant lots, learn skills from locals, and befriend residents who each have their own backstories and reasons for staying. The core loop involves restoring neglected urban spaces while building relationships that unlock new abilities and story threads. Gameplay mixes hands-on renovation tasks with social simulation—talk to shopkeepers, help neighbors, watch the neighborhood change as you invest time. The setting's sunny and optimistic rather than gritty. If you liked the community-building in games where you slowly transform a space through daily routines, this offers that satisfaction with an urban twist.
