About This Game

A classic city-builder, set in the ancient Indus Valley.

Build and manage thriving cities in Harappa, a classic-style isometric city-builder set in one of history's least-explored ancient civilizations. Plan grid streets and drains, keep water, grain and goods moving to every home, raise great works, and grow farming villages into Bronze Age cities.

Evolve houses

Start with simple reed huts that upgrade as you meet their needs: water, food, pottery, cloth and much more. Houses climb seven tiers, all the way to a two-storey house with its own well.

Build production chains

Dozens of buildings, workshops, and production chains meet the growing needs of your citizens. Grow cotton, weave it and dye it. Fire pottery, dry fish, carve seals and drill beads.

Raise great works

Raise great structures from history, stage by stage, with every brick and worker you can spare. They are the crowning achievement of your cities.

Manage floods and wildlife

The river floods every year, bringing rich soil for your crops, but your homes need protecting from it. Nilgai and other wildlife raid the fields until guards and watch posts drive them off.

Rooted in history

18 missions across the real sites of the Indus Valley, from Mehrgarh to Mohenjo-Daro. Settlements, resources, technologies and daily life follow what archaeologists have found, with careful reconstructions where the record is limited.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game is the result of 10 years of human iteration, with AI-assisted development entering the last few months. Some of the 2D images (e.g. background images, approximated historical map) were generated with AI. One of the songs used in the game used AI generation (according to the song publisher). In-game assets are unique; AI assisted in some of them with human review, editing, and quality control.
