the greatest sim of all time, available for free, on like every platform ever. go play this now.
the base game itself isn't super in depth or really something you can play for hundreds of hours, but with awesome mod support, it becomes that. hundreds of new industries, trains, cars, ships, stations, literally everything you could think of. one playthrough you could start in the 1700s with horses and sailboats and the next you could roleplay as a businesswoman in 1980s Japan. maybe you wanna reimagine what the tram system is like in London, or roleplay as an American transport company colonizing and rebuilding the world after everyone else gets wiped out.
with some configuration and tweaking, any scenario you can dream up is possible in this game.
i definitely recommended giving JGR's Patch Pack a looksies, as it expands on OTTD with fantastic QoL and modernization options. it also adds a ton more customizability that should be in the base game, such as allowing you to change how fast time passes and much much more.
there's also great game scripts, such as Renewed Village Growth and Busy Bee. unfortunately only one of these game scripts can be active at a time, though. i personally always turn on Renewed Village Growth, as it changes how towns are grown to be much more complex and interesting.
the only thing stopping me from playing this game for the rest of time is the knowledge that other games exist. yknow how people have their "desert island game"? the one they could play forever and not get bored of? this is mine
