Neon City is a 2023 PC VR city building game, where players build and design a virtual city. After years, the city has fallen into disrepair, and it's up to you, the architect, to rebuild it with handtracking technology. You start with 3 blocks (House, Shop, and Office), and if you build more, you can unlock penthouses, museums, and parks. Marvel at your city. Laugh with your residents. Celebrate fireworks on landmarks. In this Neon City, anything, from the citizens to the world, is possible to build.
