Free Cities - A text-only slave management game

Free Cities

As the old countries crumble and technology stagnates, the gap between rich and poor increases. In order to continue living a good life without having their property taken by the mob, many of the wealthy and powerful come together to form 'Free Cities.' These are new cities on undeveloped land, in remote areas, or even afloat, fully free of any national allegiance... or law. The perfect paradise or the perfect hell, or both at once. These new cities are built on new ideas, with most buildings designed as self sufficient, self-contained 'arcologies.' An arcology and everything in it is usually owned by a single person. And as of today, one of those single people is you.

Free cities is a free text game about managing an arcology in a not so far future where the world is in turmoil.
You buy and sell slaves, break them into submission and use them to whore, improve your reputation and progress by expanding your arcology and make money. You provide security and entertainment for your tenants. The style reminds me a lot about Jack-o-nine-tails, you can be really cruel if you wish or as fair as you can be as a sex slave owner.

It's an alpha and the dev has been very diligent in releasing new content. It lacks images but the text is very erotic and descriptive. If you're into slave management sims this is a really interesting game. The game has been very popular as of late on 4chan.

This is probably the best HTML game I've played even at its early stage of development. A lot of content already and the pace of updates is insane, I have very high hopes for it. Here's a screenshot to show people what it is, basically a text based slavemaker with a big focus on modifying the slaves.

Well, I for one found the game fantastic. Maybe when I have more time I'll write some more, but if anyone likes slave management text games, he should REALLY try this one. Also, the near future setting is really nice.

Honestly, this is a very promising game, and a great alpha. I got a bit hesitant reading "alpha", thinking it was another one of these small games with hardly any content. I was wrong. The game already has plenty of content, and after looking at the dev blog I've realized it seems to be updated regularly as well.

EDIT: I will say that the game is way too easy at this point. Even though it autosaves every turn (sort of like a roguelike), I faced zero problems on my first playthrough. Obviously this is something that'll be balanced eventually, but still.

The events limited to 1 a day is kind of making the game stuck at slaves related only when you already have around 20-ish people

Great alpha ... dont get discouraged by the text-based format, it allows for implementation of features without the hassle of searching up and down the internet to get decent pictures. Really looking forward to where this game goes.

I have been playing it a fair bit the last couple of days, I was not expecting to spend this much time, when I decided to check it out.
I do not miss pictures at all and will definitely be keeping an eye on this one.
