I'm a fan of city building simulation games such as the old Sim City games and more recently Cities: Skylines, so when I saw the below trailer for Highrise City, I started following it on Steam as I'll be keeping an eye on it. Check out the "Laws and Research" trailer below and the game's page on Steam. The trailer contains pre-alpha gameplay talking about laws and research in the game.

Video description: Take a deep dive into the law and research features of the upcoming city simulation game, Highrise City. The video gives a look at how some of the laws can be implemented, revoked, and their impact on your city such as legalizing gambling and its pros and cons, air quality ordinances, and more, as well as how research works and how it resembles overall progression with access to core gameplay features and more. A closed beta test for the game begins on January 27, 2022, on Steam. Highrise City is slated for release on PC in 2022.
