# CozyCity > CozyCity is a woodland village builder with automatic pathways, working households and a day-and-night rhythm. This is its official website and player guide. CozyCity is a download for macOS and Windows, linked below; the browser version has been retired. The game is still in development; there is no announced release date for the iPhone version. The guides describe base rules, and the in-game placement preview shows the exact quote and availability in a player's build. River and fishing guides currently carry an in-development notice. The HTML guides are rendered on the server and can be read without running the game or JavaScript. Markdown building guides use the same translated advice and runtime costs, unlocks and production figures as the building book. Illustrations and actual game screenshots are labelled on the pages. Higher-tier building pages publish the active backend costs, progression, staffing and benefits. Buildings unlock through village level and completed charters. ## Play and learn - [CozyCity](https://cozycity.net/): Game overview, actual gameplay previews and the iPhone waiting list. - [Download CozyCity](https://cozycity.net/#download): The game for macOS and Windows; use the player guide for readable gameplay information. - [Player guide](https://cozycity.net/help): Getting started, progression, pathways, night work, protection and common questions. - [First steps](https://cozycity.net/help#first-steps): Permanent homes, food and construction. - [Growing and advancing](https://cozycity.net/help#progression): Household arrivals, village levels, comfort and population capacity. - [Automatic pathways](https://cozycity.net/help#paths): Entrance connections, placement previews, fence detours and purchased roads. - [Day and night](https://cozycity.net/help#night): Work, sleep and the saved village clock. - [Protection](https://cozycity.net/help#protection): Enclosures, wardens and the connected lantern network. - [Rivers and fishing](https://cozycity.net/help/rivers): Development guide to water blocks, connected banks and the Fisher Cottage. - [How to start a city](https://cozycity.net/help/start): The opening fifteen minutes: creating a village, starting materials, first homes and workplaces, water reach and the level ladder. - [How to defend a city](https://cozycity.net/help/defend): Protection scores, the Village Wall and soldier houses, raider camps, soldiers, expeditions, rival raids, and the towers in development. - [Characters](https://cozycity.net/help/characters): The five enemies of the Hollow, shown with their finished 3D models. - [The story of the Hollow](https://cozycity.net/help/story): The setting: a clearing in the Lantern Wilds, the first four residents, what presses in from the edges, and the five inhabitants of the older woods. - [Building book](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings.md): Complete Markdown reference, including costs, unlocks, placement, improvements and troubleshooting. ## A place to call home - [Moss Hut](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/moss-hut.md): Your first permanent home, with room for two. - [Family Cottage](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/family-cottage.md): Four beds, a little more comfort, and room to settle in. - [Hearth Lodge](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/hearth-lodge.md): A spacious home for six in an established town. - [Fisher Cottage](https://cozycity.net/help/buildings/fisher-cottage.md): In development.
