## About This Game

Patron builds upon the foundations laid out by the staples of the survival
city builder genre and enhances the experience with a large research tree and
by introducing intricate social dynamics into the game and the genre in
general. Happiness, the standard simple feature of all such games, in the case
of Patron is a complete gameplay system in its own right.

Patron starts off similarly to other games in the genre, but then veers off
exploring social intricacies and what it means to truly run a society and not
just a city filled with automatons.

Each individual citizen in the town has his needs, desires and issues
troubling him or making him happy. Some citizens are more concerned with
immigration, while others are more aggravated by tax-related issues. If the
citizen’s view on the subject is in line with what the town government (YOU,
the player) is doing, he’ll be happy. Works the other way around as well.
