The value story

The lowest price on record is $0.94, set in September 2024. It has been discounted 58 times in the 5 years tracked here, typically at 90 percent off, with about 4 weeks between sales.

It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 87 percent. House Flipper ($24.99, scores 75) outscores it, and so does House Flipper 2 ($39.99, scores 55). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

Of the 667 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 3 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to September 2026. In its first 30 days on sale, 2 of 154 sampled reviews came from refunders. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 176 reviews written there were positive, against 64 percent overall, and those are 17 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 4.4 hours; clearing it takes 10, which is 2.2 times the campaign.

What players say

I actually really enjoy this game, it might be quite lacking as a opposed to other house building simulators but for me it was perfect, there are a few things that need tweaking like the equipping of tools but aside from that its quite nice.

This is a serene game, surprised it doesn't align with the Cozy genre automatically. I'm not into critiquing the mechanics tbh, but when I play, it's relaxing.
A_BeuralisRecommendedafter 3.4hJan 2026Read on Steam
There is one Castle in the game and you don't even Flip It , you just cosplay as a medieval maid and slum lord. Misleading name, basic gameplay, horrible building mechanics and progression.
