The Immortal Mayor

About

The Immortal Mayor casts you as a deity tasked with shepherding a settlement from humble beginnings to thriving metropolis. Manage resources, construct buildings, and balance your people’s needs, housing, jobs, and entertainment, to keep them content. Use basic magic to tweak the town layout or summon stronger spells by trading offerings for favors from other gods. A Weather Master might prevent crop failures while a Moon Elder could boost population growth. Every decision shapes your community’s fate. What sets it apart is the layer of whimsical strategy beneath the management grind. Hundreds of decorative items do more than look pretty, some trigger bonuses when grouped creatively. Monsters occasionally raid your town, forcing you to blend defensive planning with spellcasting and puppet-led combat. Released in 2021 by Star Chess Studio, it blends town-building depth with divine mischief, offering a quieter but no less challenging alternative to traditional city sims.

Storyline

The Immortal Mayor is a construction & management sim game where you play as a local deity that watches over the land. Befriend other gods and use magic to help your residents build the town, thereby earning the offerings of your people and growing your town. Town Construction As the local land god, your primary task is to watch over and guide your people as you build the town from scratch. Collect natural resources, build production and living facilities, and produce essential supplies to bring peace and prosperity to your people. Residents and Life The residents have their own preferences and emotions. They are happy when they have nice houses to live in, and will become distressed if they don't have any entertainment. Try to observe them and build housing, arrange jobs, and provide education and necessary leisure and entertainment. Make their wishes come true to earn their worship and trust. Gods and Magic As a local land god, you have access to some basic magic like changing the location of things in town. If you want to use stronger magic, you'll have to use the offerings of your people to meet other gods that can lend you their power and help develop your town. For example, the Moon Elder can greatly increase your people's willingness to get married and have kids, while the Weather Master can help you control the weather... Buildings and Decoration You can build and upgrade dozens of different buildings to provide your people with a better living and working environment. In addition, this game also provides hundreds of unique decorations, each with its own style. As you decorate your town, you'll find that some decorations have unique combination effects. Try out different combinations to trigger effects that will make your town more beautiful and prosperous. Monsters and Puppets The town isn't always a peaceful place. Prosperous towns attract monsters that will come to destroy your buildings and take away your resources. You can build city walls and towers to delay monster attacks, and can also use spells as you lead your residents in battle to repel the monsters with the help of battle puppets.
