TESSERAX GAMES announced TOWERPUNK, a building construction simulator inspired by The Tower and set in a cyberpunk world. Players act as the Machine Mind governing a tower, stacking rooms up to 500 floors, managing five social strata, and balancing resources, transportation, and production chains. The game enters Steam Early Access in Q1 2027.
TESSERAX GAMES revealed TOWERPUNK, a construction simulation game that reworks The Tower concept for a cyberpunk world. Players become the Machine Mind that runs a tower housing thousands of residents, with construction reaching heights of up to 500 floors. The game tracks five social strata, from low-level residents near the ground to the ruling class above the clouds, and each tier introduces new needs.
Circulation systems move people and goods by elevator, train, and conveyor while managing electricity, water, and waste. External terminals connect the tower to the surrounding city and its transport network. Players also refine scrap into advanced components and make decisions that shape the Machine Mind's nature, siding with residents or pushing toward the singularity.
TOWERPUNK is scheduled for Steam Early Access in Q1 2027, with a planned period of 9 to 12 months.
