Frostpunk

Game tried to guilt trip me for using child labor in the kitchens so next time I'm gonna send them down in the coal mines. 8/10

PREFACE: Do not use any wiki. Do not extensively search gameplay. As soon as you know enough about it to know you want to try it - stop researching and just play it. Don't resort to outside information. Take in-game risks from start to finish. Frostpunk is best experienced with as blank a slate as you can retain. Trust me, you'll thank me.
The most important thing you should know is that Frostpunk isn't really a city builder. It's a story with city-style challenges. But the story is not spoon fed to you separate from the mechanics - it is told through the mechanics themselves. It is a city story, and the only example of its kind. While games like "Cities Skylines" (which is incredible in its own right) ends when you get bored of your city, Frostpunk's main scenario ends when you have overcome it.
If that sounds interesting to you, then you must play Frostpunk. It is one of the most stunning experiences you can have in modern gaming. And it is paced beautifully - it's never too much nor not enough. Very few games can make you feel both powerless and indomitable at the same time, and Frostpunk is high on the list.
If you want to build cities, and aren't interested in new ways of experiencing stories, Frostpunk isn't for you.
If you enjoy city builders, resource management, decision making, and want to see what happens when a narrative is woven into the fabric of the mechanics, Frostpunk is the only place you'll find this blend.
The main scenario is short(ish - about 9hours, including some failures) and sweet, and absolutely worth it.

you can have children working in coal mines
