Actually, the buildings are fully procedurally generated in the game. I only modeled the 'building blocks' (e.g. wall elements, windows, doors etc.) in Blender. Everything else is done with code / Unity. You can check out my other video to see the building placement in action.

People will enter stores but you won't see the interior. The game focuses more on the life outside the doors and on the streets :)
