The value story
It has never been cheaper than $3.79. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 60 percent off as a rule. There have been 38 in the 4 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart.
It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 89 percent. On the same math Clothing Store Simulator ($7.79, scores 50) and Hotel Renovator ($24.99, scores 39) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.
This site sampled 596 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 10 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written December 2022 to September 2026.

What players say
I really loved this game and would happily of kept playing and giving a good review, however twice I ran into a game breaking bug that stopped all progress. The first time I just said oh well, it was on sale, Ill just wait for them to do some bug fixes. fast forward a year and I see they added some cool beach dlc and did some big fixes so i decided to try it again and was having a blast until the same bug stopped...
Game doesn't explain how to do anything. It says to click on a wallpaper to paint on wall, but doesn't say how to paint on the walls. This game is a waste of time.
Not the best, I wouldn't bother spending the money. The game feels like its early access with lots of bugs and vague direction and description. Overall it's not terrible but not worth even five bucks till more things improve and get fixed.
