What players say

I bought this game after seeing all of the positive reviews, but I have no idea what they saw in this game. It feels very unfinished, and the levels take way too long to complete since you can't save and leave during them (as far as I can tell, I might be wrong). You can only carry one item at a time, so making dozens of trips to the dumpster gets old really fast. There is a scan option that tells you what around...

The levels are lifeless and the placement mode is the worst I've come across in a renovation simulator.
dannyoneone1Not recommendedafter 2.4hJul 2026Read on Steam
I bought this because the reviews were generally positive and I liked games like PowerWash Simulator, Crime Scene Cleaner, and House Flipper. Unfortunately this game is very broken. The tools to use for each task don't make any logical sense, switching between them is slow and clunky. Items are sized differently when you replace them, so you can't actually restore a location while maintaining the original placement...
