Bustle Beacon is a turn-based roguelite city-builder where production chains, trade, and clever logistics decide your fate. Your beacon pushes back the clinging fog — but rent day always comes.

Start small. Build workshops, gather resources, and attract wandering merchants and curious tourists. Every new run offers different buildings, unexpected opportunities, and shifting land layouts.

Logistics is everything. Where you place your buildings matters. A well-organized district lets you chain production without consuming incoming resources — efficiency through smart positioning.

Choices shape your chains. Each production building can respond to its neighbors in multiple ways. Will your smelter refine ore into bars, or break it down into rare byproducts? Every interaction is a branching decision.

Merchants and tourists are your lifeline. Some buildings contain arrival spots for them — taverns, warehouses, or market squares. But those spots won't fill on their own. You must construct other buildings that actively attract merchants and tourists: taverns, attractions, trading posts, or cultural sites. Attract more visitors — unlock better deals, rare resources, and bonus income.

A world of variety. Dozens of resources, many buildings, and multiple paths to obtain and transform them. No two runs feel the same. Experiment, optimize, and keep the bustle alive.

The Beacon demands payment. Grow fast, trade smart, and build wisely. Fall behind on rent — and your run ends. Adapt, reset, and rise again.

The fog never sleeps. The rent never waits. Keep your Beacon bustling.
