Belle Citique blends a little Tiny Glade and Townscaper into a fresh sandbox builder

If you enjoy your more casual chilled building games, Belle Citique looks like one that brings something fresh to the table.

Bridging together elements of Tiny Glade and Townscaper but with it being less of a toy, as it brings in some more city-building elements into it with residents and animals that will populate it. Still a lot more on the casual side compared to a full city-builder though. A water-focused city designer with a building system that naturally adjusts to the terrain around it, creating canals, tunnels, waterways, parks, and more. As residents flow in you'll see the city come alive and they'll send you comments on what they want.

The idea of it sounds quite nice. Check it out in the trailer below:

Highlights from the press email:

• Unleash the Joys of Nature. Walls and houses sprout tunnels to let rivers pass through. Canals work their way between buildings and around plazas. Trees grow joyfully towards the sun. Instead of just replacing or removing nature, Belle Citique imagines how we might build together with it.
• Calming Natural Beauty. Enjoy villagers fishing in the canals, and dogs playing in the park. Watch the birds gently soaring by. Admire the mountains and the streams. Belle Citique is the perfect way to release your tension and unwind!
• Happy Residents! As your city grows, more and more people will come to live in it, admiring your hard work and going about their lives. Residents will compliment your architecture and design, and as the population increases, more building-blocks and biomes will be unlocked to explore and experiment with.
• Full Customization. Adjust colors and other design-details for each building-block to make sure that your city perfectly matches your heart. The only limit is your own imagination!

One downside to the demo is the developer noted some use of AI for non-English translations, but they did make it clear those will be replaced.
