The most detailed cottage experience. Live as a regular Finnish man and enjoy the summer. Play relaxed: go to the sauna, get drunk and grill food. Play how you want: make moonshine, become a burglar and turbocharge your moped.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $12.74, set in December 2025. Its cuts run 15 percent off as a rule. There have been 4 in the 2 years tracked, about 27 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 13 weeks ago.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 2 percent on value. It is pricier than 81 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Supermarket Together (free, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats BBQ Simulator: The Squad ($3.99, scores 49).

16 of the 511 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 75 percent of the 260 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.

This game is actual happiness. Even after completing every single achievement (which is like 90% of the game's content) on my save, I still love to open this once in a while. After playing some stressful games like My Summer Car, this can perfectly calm me down. I make alcohol, go fishing, go hunting, go camping, chill in the sauna, get blackout drunk at the bar and repeat. And every aspect of the game is twice as...
