Cozy City Designer 'Belle Citique' Grants Fans of the Genre Their Biggest Wish - Animals and Villagers
Build in harmony with nature in Belle Citique, a cozy city designer finally giving fans of Townscaper and Tiny Glade what they've always wanted - villagers and animals!
[January 21, 2026]: Build for harmony and happiness in Belle Citique, a cozy new city designer from Willis Studios. Belle Citique is a cozy, water-focused city designer, with a powerful building-system that naturally adjusts to the terrain around it, creating canals, tunnels, waterways, parks, and more. Attract residents and animals to your city and watch them enjoying the lives you've built for them, exploring bustling marketplaces and lovely boulevards. Residents comment on what they love, and ask for more!
Instead of replacing nature, bring out its best - and attract animals to live within your towns. Towering walls and bridges adapt to the rivers and hills around them. Decorate your city with plazas, gates and fountains, naturally molding to the environment for a feeling of perfect balance. Fans of Townscape and Tiny Glade will feel at home!
With a new demo now on Steam, players can get to building their idyllic city - and populating it immediately.
Watch the trailer for Belle Citique below.
Key features of Belle Citique include:
-
Unleash the Joys of Nature. Walls and houses sprout tunnels to let rivers pass through. Canals work their way between buildings and around plazas. Trees grow joyfully towards the sun. Instead of just replacing or removing nature, Belle Citique imagines how we might build together with it.
-
Calming Natural Beauty. Enjoy villagers fishing in the canals, and dogs playing in the park. Watch the birds gently soaring by. Admire the mountains and the streams. Belle Citique is the perfect way to release your tension and unwind!
-
Happy Residents! As your city grows, more and more people will come to live in it, admiring your hard work and going about their lives. Residents will compliment your architecture and design, and as the population increases, more building-blocks and biomes will be unlocked to explore and experiment with.
-
Full Customization. Adjust colors and other design-details for each building-block to make sure that your city perfectly matches your heart. The only limit is your own imagination!
Belle Citique is available to wishlist now on Steam, with a demo currently available. It is planned to release in Q1/2 2026.
