About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey folks! Ready to roll up your sleeves and build the most insane steam-powered amusement park the world has ever seen? In Steam Park, you step into the shoes of visionary entrepreneurs, tasked with erecting gigantic coal-powered rides to attract as many visitors as possible. But listen, it's not just about building and being done! You'll need to manage your crew (your employees, of course!), invest heavily in advertising to catch the eye of different crowd types, and most importantly, keep the dirt this whole operation produces under control. Think of a game that keeps you plugged in! It's easy to learn, with a more relaxed level for beginners and a more strategic one for those who enjoy a real challenge. The goal is to turn your little slice of fun into the biggest and most profitable in the region. And the visuals? The 3D rides designed by Marie Cardouat are a show in themselves; watching your park grow right before your eyes is awesome! The real kicker is that, besides being good, you need to be fast. Time is crucial: the less time you spend planning, the more time you'll have to manage your park. With a super clever and original action-selection mechanism, winning in Steam Park is a race against time and your opponents. Who will be the fastest and most efficient steam master? Let's find out!
