Overview
Description

Holiday Island is a business simulation where you juggle funds to construct hotels, accommodations, leisure activities, and restaurants. Strategic placement and interconnectivity of facilities are key to attracting tourists and maximizing profits. Developed by Sunflowers Interactive, the game offers a sandbox experience on PC, letting players design and fine‑tune every aspect of their island resort in a single‑player environment.

SimTower lets you become the engineer and general manager of a modern skyscraper. Construct offices, coffee shops, apartments and watch the complex operations of a vertical city come to life. Manage tenants, elevators, and services while balancing income and satisfaction to grow your tower into a thriving metropolis.
