▶ We have tried to capture the essence and beauty of Santorini.
In order to bring the beauty of Santorini into the game, our team headed to Santorini. We walked an average of 16,000 steps daily for a week and worked diligently to observe the island's details. While seeing major tourist destinations, landmarks, and beautiful scenery, we have captured photos and videos. With over 200,000 photos and video data collected, we were able to implement Santorini's major tourist destinations, beautiful villages, and buildings as game content. We hope that you will be able to feel the beauty of Santorini with its bright sunshine and deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea, wonderful caldera views, beautiful villages, landmarks, historic sites, museums, and colorful sandy beaches!
▶ Be sure to listen to music that moves with the winds of Santorini.
Our team have worked hard to express the beauty of Santorini to the fullest. We have sought out for a music that could convey our senses and emotions we were feeling. While exploring Santorini with this in mind, we came across Kleopas Thanasis serendipitously, a musician playing traditional Greek instruments in the small village of Pyrgos. His performances contained the beautiful melody and the mysterious sensibility of Santorini, which we were mesmerized by for some time while listening. We were able to get in touch with him and communicate about type of music theme we were looking for. After agreeing on a deal, we were able to get 10 beautiful songs through the email. We thank Kleopas Thanasis again for the great music.
*Santorini is an island formed by one of the volcanic eruptions in history and is a famous tourist destination in Greece in the Aegean Sea, located east of the Mediterranean Sea.

Community Insight:
We have so many residences and now there are no workers to build anything. When we build a residence we get 3 workers but it is like they get used up and there are no more. We cant build in our second village and Im running out of space in the first one, and they dont transfer anyway. Now what.
This is one of the more addictive games we have recently played! It has a combination of city planner, strategy and idle builder. There are so many facets and ways to measure success. Being a perfectionist we are aiming to build a city of one of each building – but you can easily not do that and just build! We really love the authenticity of the game – the graphics, music, place names etc. Very well done and more than enough to get you coming back for more. In fact – our phone was recently damaged and after two days of playing we needed a new phone. We had to start over. That usually discourages us but we plugged through. We are now further than we were but it does concern us that it didnt save – there is a save button but the load didnt load anything. We hope that is clearer in the future as we do plan on upgrading our phone. The support pages are all in Korean so that doesnt help us figure it out. As much as we love it, of course there are some things that are kind of annoying: – When earning a building from a present (after watching ad) – identify the name of it – Show which of your buildings have already been built in each village – Please add a confirmation when spending mati – our big fat fingers have accidentally rushed production when we didnt want to by mistapping near an ongoing construction. 1 or 2 mati really add up. Especially because – All the good buildings take a TON of mati. It is in this way the devs are going to make their money, but hundreds of mati is just too much for certain buildings – Ads that pop up in game are all of the fake variety – get you hooked on one aspect of a game and then there is hardly any of that gameplay in the game – so its infuriating every time you see it. We just dont click on ads anymore which Im sure hurts your business model – and our accumulation of aforementioned mati – Tasks for Oia opened before there was access to that village – kind of annoying cuz they are piling up. We are at level 19 so should be there shortly but way annoying – Do the workers leave when used? Buildings finish completing but still at 0 builders at times. There isnt much instruction about this – All in all its awesome and we hope to continue to play for a good long time. Add- no music notes appear in Oia.
No bugs and the game is pretty balanced:).
City building game with wait timers for no good reason, no thanks.
