Gear City

About

Gear City is a business sim where you run a car manufacturing empire from the ground up. Design vehicle parts like engines and transmissions, then build factories to produce them. Hire workers, set prices, and manage supply chains while competing against AI rivals in global markets. You control everything from R&D budgets to racing sponsorships, all while keeping your company profitable. The focus is on long-term strategy over quick wins, with decisions impacting your business across years of in-game time. What sets Gear City apart is its deep economic layer using real-world data for 250 cities including population and buying power. Players can simplify operations or dive into granular controls like adjusting gear ratios. Though released in 2014, its blend of accessibility and simulation depth keeps it fresh for management game fans. The lack of hand-holding means a steeper learning curve but rewards patience with a satisfying systems-driven experience.
