Press release:
ISTANBUL – June 3, 2022.
“Circadian City, “the 24/7 life sim about building relationships in the day and developing personality in surreal dreams at night from publisher Way Down Deep and developer Nowhere Studios, brings to life a major update on Windows PC via Steam Early Access Thursday, August 18, 2022 and announces v1.0 launching in Q1 2023. V1.0 brings Circadian City to Nintendo Switch users along with Windows PC.

Explore the streets of Circadian City, interacting with residents and forging friendships with a diverse cast of characters. Deepen bonds with newfound friends while chatting about shared passions over coffee, poring over literature at the library, or spending time taking a leisurely stroll around the park. Keep stress levels low by seeking out new and exciting opportunities outside of the nine-to-five grind because life begins when the work day ends.

Return home from a gratifying day and drift into the Dreamworld, a surreal playground filled with endless possibilities, each evening. Unconstrained by the laws of reality, life in the Dreamworld has a bit more flair. Become a farmer, rancher, miner, or even a professional gamer while exploring the subconscious realm on a path to uncover the player-character’s true passion. Stumble upon mysterious creatures and random encounters along the way, but don’t be surprised if the nocturnal meetings feel familiar. Each dream is molded and shaped by stress levels, need fulfillment, and the tasks accomplished during the waking hours.

Build a character based on more than 36 perks, and archetypes like The Impatient and The Creative in the v.8 update. The Impatient is guided by a high motivation to work hard during the day, but struggles to concentrate during the Dreamworld exploration. Conversely, The Creative’s impressive imagination allows visionary thoughts to shape the Dreamworld but struggles to find motivation and happiness during the day.

Manage basic needs including hunger, energy, and motivation throughout the day by nourishing the player-character’s body with appropriate foods and leading a low-stress lifestyle while developing new interests along the way. Spend the evening upgrading personality traits, crafting dreamy items, and building each night in the Dreamworld.

Circadian City’s v.8 update will introduce full keyboard & mouse and gamepad support, along with myriad quality of life updates. Track progress and locations for different questions, explore an updated map, and get more expressive while hanging with NPCs thanks to an all-new interaction wheel.

“Circadian City’s v.8 will bring a ton of functionality and gameplay changes to the game,” said Burak Tezateser, Founder & Designer, Nowhere Studios.

“Although it’s been a long time coming, we are very proud of the game’s direction and cannot wait to share the final major update before Circadian City v1.0 comes to Steam and Switch in Q1 2023!”

Circadian City’s v.8 update will launch on Steam Early Access Thursday, August 18 with English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese (Brazilian) language support. The 1.0 version of Circadian City will launch on Nintendo Switch and Steam for Windows PC in Q1 2023.
