To my ridiculous mind,Parkitectsounds like a parakeet mech action figure, but it’s actually a theme park simulation game — one that was cool enough to make it onto Patrick’sbig list of indie titles to look for in 2016. It’s taking a back-to-basics approach, and I love that about it.

Parkitectis coming toSteam Early Accesson July 25, 2025, which I somehow excitedly read as “April” because I am terrible with dates. Developer Texel Raptor expects it to remain there for a year or more. “We’ll do our best to keep this short, but in the long run we do what’s best for the game.”

Folks who have triedParkitectin its current pre-alpha form should receive the Early Access build via Humble “a few days before the Steam release” in order for Texel Raptor to “iron out any last-minute bugs.” If you’re thinking ofbuying in, note that the price will shift from $15 to $17.99 on May 5.
