Virtual City Free is a free-to-play version of the main Virtual City game, which is a city-building simulator, in the style of SimCity or Cities: Skylines. In it, players must build and manage their fictional city, paying attention to the economy, transport, the environment, the happiness of the population and even garbage routes. The free version essentially provides players with a tutorial, giving them a taste of the game's features before they invest in the full game. Progress made in Virtual City Free can also be carried into the paid version.
