Overview
Arteria is a city-building simulation from Pomerania Games that puts traffic at the center of urban growth. Unlike traditional city builders where zoning drives expansion, here the roads you lay determine where the city can develop. Every car on the street belongs to a specific household, travels to a real job, shop, or school, and needs a place to park. Keep the traffic flowing, and a small crossroads settlement can evolve into a metropolis of over 100,000 residents.
Highlights
- Traffic-first city growth: the city expands only along connected roads, and severe congestion halts development entirely.
- Individual vehicle simulation: each car is tied to a household and a destination, adding a layer of time management to every commute.
- Start from an empty map with incoming roads at the edges—nothing happens until you connect your first street, then residents, shops, offices, factories, and schools begin to appear.
Who It's For
This game appeals to players who enjoy simulation and city builders with a strong systems focus, especially those who like time management and automation challenges. If you prefer planning efficient road networks and watching a living, breathing city respond to your decisions, Arteria offers a detailed take on the genre. It is a single-player experience with Steam Achievements and adjustable text size, and it supports a wide range of languages including Japanese, French, German, and more.
