Get ready to build upwards, fill the smallest gaps, and find clever ways to place light sources or decorations that breathe life into every corner. 

This is a world where every balcony, interesting poster, and plant tells a story. And you’re the one organising it!

This game is inspired by my love for densely built cities around the world, which is why I packed in 20 distinct locations for you to explore, each with its own mood and identity.

Be it the warm glow of the Hotpot Casino, the charmingly cramped spaces of the Marshlands Pipe, or the solitude of the Lighthouse, every space gives you a new perspective.

How you place things together is entirely up to you. 

Upgrades are available for larger structures like buildings and gates, but they’ll need a bit of care to reach their full potential. By providing light, utilities, and decorations, places like shops, apartment blocks, or gates can evolve into detailed spaces. Completing an upgrade unlocks new objects and decorations, giving you even more ways to shape the town.

When you finish a location, frame the shot, take a pic, then add it to your dossier before moving to your next blank canvas.

Each location presents a unique set of objects and a limited space to build within. Whether it’s food trucks, neon signs, or industrial smokestacks, players must carefully fit everything together to create a dense, living space that feels right.

This is a casual game through and through. There are no wrong answers here. Remember to make each placement personal, and every messy little corner adds to the charm.

With ShantyTown's added Creative Mode, you have unlimited building options with every unlocked location and item that you've acquired throughout your journey through ShantyTown.  Stack buildings high, wide, and in any direction. We've also included a Blankspace with an enormous sandbox space to design custom towns and shops to your heart's desire.

Design custom creations with no restrictions whatsoever.

  • Unique decorations across every map

  • Discover each location’s story as you build

  • A warm, relaxing soundtrack crafted by vaporwave artist Macroblank

  • Optional goals to guide your creativity

  • Peaceful, atmospheric scenery to unwind with

  • In-depth camera settings to frame your creations

  • Hidden objects waiting to be found

  • No time or pressure. Please, enjoy everything at your own pace.
