Billboards don't need to be perfectly placed. Sometimes, they just need complete visibility.

ShantyTown is a relaxing diorama-building game about finding beauty in everyday chaos, so turn the lights on and your worries off.

Set the slider to your preferred time of day. Building in the quiet dark hits different compared to the soft mornings in ShantyTown.

Upgrading will complete the look of the building. But! Having some simple ones, here and there, give's a soothing look as well.

Green, purple, yellow, brown, red. If it fits the vibe, it stays.

It’s not just where you place things, but how they affect their surroundings.
