You're looking at a beautiful city skyline from a distance, out in the waters of the bay. It's twilight and the buildings of the city are glowing various vibrant colors which are reflected in the water. Some low mountains rise up behind the city enclosing it in the bay.

😼🐭 Have you heard of Whiskerwood? It’s an upcoming city builder published by Hooded Horse. We’ll have this game on our store when it releases - can’t wait! It looks cozy & reminds me of Timberborn. Don’t forget to wishlist!

Below is the description: 'Establish a home for your industrious mice under the oppressive paw of your cat overlords in this city builder featuring complex simulations, intricate production chains, and the age-old rivalry between cat and mouse.' The developer, Minakata Dynamics, is credited at the bottom.
