News: A new city builder has arrived on the scene, however, this one promises to have a unique social dynamics system and more.

Patron has arrived today on Steam and GOG. In Patron you grow a small starving settlement into a marvelous medieval metropolis. To successfully do that though you will need to manage and produce resources while also catering to the diverse needs of your citizens, balancing optimized production lines against the quality of life for your people.

"Our main idea was to create a game that doesn't just offer players the chance to build up a successful city, but asks them to create and manage growing society lives within it, with all the ups and downs that come with that" remarked Patron developer, Overseer Games. "If both challenges are met successfully, the player can really feel like a true Patron and take pride in the buildings they've created and the wellbeing of the people living inside."

Patron is a survival city builder with a unique social dynamics system. Gather and produce resources, build your fledgling village into a prosperous city and navigate the intricate social tensions before they reach boiling point. Some of the key features include the following:
