A sample Xomtopia town with tube houses, shops, a communal house and a puppet stage beside a river
A sample town built with in-game buildings. Your town is yours to design.

A Vietnamese town of your own

Tube houses, street food and craft workshops

Build tube houses, bánh mì carts, phở shops, markets and craft workshops. Residents need jobs, food and nearby services, while each building needs staff and money to keep running.

Run the town and hear from your residents

Balance the budget, build schools and clinics, and add bus stops. Read residents' petitions, choose policies, prepare for floods, and celebrate Tết and Mid-Autumn.

See your streets at eye level

Switch to first-person view to walk, talk to residents or ride a motorbike around town. Street trips connect actual homes with workplaces, schools and shops.

A little of each region

A Mekong fruit stall, a northern puppet pavilion, a Hội An tailor and a highland communal house. Build where you like, fulfil áo dài orders or host a performance in Activities.

Choose where to build

Maps draw inspiration from Vietnamese regions, with different terrain, rainy seasons and growing conditions. They are game maps rather than accurate geographic maps.
