Free Cities: Origins is an HTML RPG built with React by Mimus Studios, inspired by the management-focused Free Cities game from FCAuthor. It uses 3DCG art and begins after modern civilization collapses, with the calendar reset. You play an enslaved person owned by Shintani Hiroyuki, a man trying to rebuild old myths through Japanese heritage. The story moves from captivity into a struggle between settlements and the Trade Union, letting you choose factions, shape a dynamic world, and manage a supply-and-demand economy.
Development is ongoing. The current build is v0.2.2.1, released on October 14, 2026 for Windows, Linux, and Mac. It is English and uncensored. The latest patch adds a Medicine skill that lessens surgery damage to NPCs, unlocks outfits, surgeries, medicines, and Lia tower upgrades through lost-tongue documents, restores SVG image toggling, fixes a Barracks event branch, and gives patrons an Angie training event.
Developer's description
Free Cities: Origins (FCO) is an HTML game developed using React based on the famous Free Cities HTML game by FCAuthor. While FreeCities was a management-centric game, we wanted to give an RPG spin on it. In FCO you are thrown into the world years after the fall of modern civilization. The Gregorian calendar while still in use, has reset its year sometime in the past. You start as an unfortunate soul who is enslaved by slave owner Shintani Hiroyuki, who, unbeknownst to him, is obsessed with his Japanese heritage and seeks to rebuild the
civilizations
from the myths of old.
Spoiler
The game takes the player on a journey from slavehood to eventually the main character in a power struggle between settlements and the last centralized power, the
Trade Union
. From here, the player can align themselves with a particular faction, affecting the entire game world. The world itself is dynamic and constantly changing, many of these changes are completely unknown to the player until they receive higher status and thus intel. The world also features a dynamic economy that operates on Supply-and-Demand and simulated Brownian motion.
The final phase of the game (in development) is to build a settlement from the ground up which will be the first
Free City
. We plan to have complex diplomatic and economic actions against other settlements, and of course, complex actions with player vassals and subjects.

Otherguy20122026-09-20★★★★★
I have done multiple play throughs of the new version. My preferred route is to side with Shintani. I owned 3 slaves and had a bit over 100k in funds before completing the lia betrayal quest(a good idea as funds…
Kempo2025-03-15★★★★★
The game is a similarity to Master of Raana. It's a shame that it was abandoned, but it's still quite playable although it sometimes has some broken code blocks. It would have been interesting if the developer continued the project…
Melus1ne2024-08-23★★★★★
I think this game gets a bit of a bad rap for the name. So no, it's not Free Cities, and certainly nothing like the Pregmod variant - don't come expecting lolis and weird pregnancy content or any of the…
