Gear City

GearCity is a historically focused economic simulation of the global automobile industry. You build and manage a car company, making decisions about vehicle design, manufacturing, sales and business strategy.

Run your company

Design chassis, engines, transmissions and vehicles, then manage production lines, supplies, prices and employees. Build factories and distribution branches, set marketing and racing budgets, and negotiate benefits with unions. You can also adjust dividends on subsidiaries, pursue hostile takeovers through the stock system, and produce munitions and military equipment for governments at war.

Shape the market

The game includes several maps with hundreds of cities, as well as territory-based maps divided into a few dozen regions for less micromanagement. Maps account for historically accurate purchasing power, population, population growth, inflation, interest rates and market growth. With the correct settings, they produce near-historically accurate sales figures, alongside hundreds of static AI competitors and an unlimited number of dynamically generated ones.

Historical events

Thousands of historical events shape world and automotive history and affect your decisions. These include the Panic of 1907, World War 1, the Post War Recession and the Great Depression, as well as many other large and small events.

Detailed management

GearCity is a complex management simulation that takes several hours to grasp and hundreds of hours to master. Its business systems let you choose your own approach to running an automobile company.
