Lotwick Hill

Lotwick Hill is a business-management game set in a harbour city beginning in the 1930s. Start with a storefront, choose what to stock and set prices to attract customers with different budgets, tastes and shopping plans.

Compete for customers and promising properties against friends online or computer-controlled rivals in single-player. Grow your holdings with shops, apartments and hotels, balancing the costs of expansion against the income they generate as the city and its customers change over the decades.
