House Flipper

There's practically no incentive to get this game [i](or any of its DLCs - especially its DLCs)[/i] now that the devs announced that they're going to be "remastering" House Flipper 1 to have ALL the DLCs included [i](other than having shiny and vibrant graphics too).[/i] Which I suppose is for the better, since I was feeling unsure about putting Quality of Life Improvements [i](Being able to place objects with precision, for example - is locked behind the Dine Out DLC)[/i] and features that should've come with the base game locked behind DLCs. I never used workshop items, but hopefully they'll be compatible with the *remastered* version as well, because otherwise it would be such a waste of fan time and fan labor.

I didn't realise how realistic the game is until i changed the prices to my country's currency and felt just as broke as when i browse furniture stores and real estate offers 10/10 i loved the haunted house

I remember the first time I played House Flipper. It was 2018. I was in my twenties — old enough to stress over bills, too old to chase chaos — but somehow just the right age to fall in love with quiet progress. That day, a friend gifted me a Steam code and said, “Just try it.” An old monitor hummed. A mouse slick with the wear of years. But it wasn’t just a game. It was my first rebuild. He loaded up a trashed little shack with peeling wallpaper and broken tiles, and suddenly, the world outside — the emails, the deadlines, the clutter of real life — dissolved. There were no cinematic intros, no quests for glory. Just me, a mop, and a mess I didn’t know how to fix. I wasn’t just clicking. I was healing. And then came the countless hours. Wiping grime from windows. My mind quieting with every screw tightened and wall painted. Blueprints that burned themselves into my brain — not their design, but their rhythm. I didn’t need tutorials. I learned by cleaning. By accidentally demolishing the wrong wall. By selling the couch too soon and laughing about it later, promising I’d plan better next time.

Great for chronic procrastinators that want to experience a sense of accomplishment while procrastinating.

Picked it up on sale “just to try it,” and ended up spending more time in this game than in some AAA titles. The charm is in the simplicity: clean up the trash, paint the walls, place a couch — and suddenly that wreck turns into a cozy home. It genuinely feels like you’ve done something productive. The gameplay is meditative and relaxing. Perfect after a long day. The music is calm, the sound effects are satisfying, and nothing feels stressful. You can take on jobs or buy rundown houses and turn them into design projects. Total freedom and a bit of creativity. You can go full cozy-home style, or do something wild — like “IKEA on steroids.” If you enjoy fixing, decorating, cleaning, and making things look nice — this game is for you.

Good game , but Most things are locked behind paywall. There won't be much content without DLC . With all DLC 9/10 Without DLC 2/10

I love everything about this game. Its so satisfying, and i love how they give you the option to turn off cock roaches in game for if you have a phobia of cock roaches. I play this game for hours on end designing what i would want my dream home to look like. Such a fun game, I recommend. I also recommend the gardening DLC because gardening and cutting grass is so satisfying, like i can cut grass and garden what i want.

While a fun game, I can not recommend it. My anti-virus is flagging it's web access as an attempt to install malicious software. I am not saying one way or another, all I know is the program is accessing a web resource that is being flagged as malicious. Devs, if you care to clear up why this is happening, please do.

clunky. boring. slow. the trailer is missleading with that all pumped up music.

🛠️ My Honest Experience with House Flipper (Base Game) ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5 if you’re going for an honest low rating, or adjust if you want to be more neutral!) I've put in serious hours redesigning and flipping homes in House Flipper, and while the core concept is super satisfying—especially when experimenting with small spaces and creative layouts—the buyer logic completely kills the fun. In my latest project, I created a perfectly functional 32 m² micro-flat with a designated office, stylish finishes, and no unnecessary clutter. Yet the game punished me because I didn’t follow its rigid "four walls and a door" checklist to the pixel. The office was clearly separate, stocked with all the right furniture, but still not recognized. One buyer—Dolan Trusk—kept rejecting the layout because of unrealistic tagging rules like requiring a fully walled-in room for it to count as an “office.” I ended up making only 4K profit despite building a sleek, modern design that would make real architects proud. If you enjoy logic puzzles and ticking off very specific checkboxes, you'll thrive here. But if you’re hoping for a game that rewards genuine creativity and good design sense, prepare to be frustrated. Wish they’d fix the room-tag system. Until then, play it for fun, not logic.

no longer opens since last update. thanks a bunch...

Nice game to play absentmindedly, but otherwise its just kind of tedious and repetitive. And why does everybody want a damn sauna in their house

I have the base game only. Not much variety, the customer requirements are random, boring overall.

Thanks to inflation and stagnant wages, this will be the closest I will ever get to owning a house.

Fun but the controls feels awkward on the deck and its hard to move around and do what you need to do.

While it may be fun at the first few hours, after a while it becomes boring... It's better off being bought at a discount than at full price. Not to mention that all the extra content can be bought separately, which is also a bit of a downgrade.

Definitely the best game for creating your perfect home. It's so good that you can buy all the DLC

Super, Super, Super fun. I feel like you need the DLCs for it to not get boring though. Also I wouldn't run it on max graphics even if your PC is good because the mouse gets kinda wonky.

Such a fun decorating/building game! Honestly prefer it over House Flipper 2. I couldn't recommend it more.

The pre-made houses are all really cool but there are a lot of bugs when it comes to selling houses, when you've satisfied the buyers requirements it doesn't even register that you've added the furniture or room. The mechanics are really clunky and annoying, even when you've upgraded the skills it still takes forever to put up a wall or paint, it becomes monotonous and takes away from the experience. Objects are as pain to place and room type is determined by a set of very specific furniture combinations that the game doesn't tell you about. It really could be a fun game if there weren't so many frustrating bugs.

Remember when we spent hours on The Sims just decorating our dream houses? This is like a dream come true. House Flipper is the ultimate soothing and relaxing game for anyone who loved building, designing, and making spaces beautiful. There’s something oddly satisfying about cleaning up a filthy, abandoned place and turning it into a cosy, stylish home. The gameplay is simple yet addictive – painting walls, tearing down ugly structures, installing showers and radiators, and choosing the perfect furniture to tie everything together. Every little task feels rewarding, and before you know it, you’ve spent hours making sure each room has the right color scheme and decor. It’s not stressful like other simulation games where you have to worry about your characters needs, bills piling up or running out of time. Here, it’s just you, your tools, and your creativity. It’s the kind of game you can play to unwind after a long day, with chill music in the background as you clean windows and lay down tiles. If you’ve ever dreamed of interior design, renovation, or flipping houses for profit, House Flipper gives you that experience without the real-life mess and costs. It’s surprisingly therapeutic – just pure, satisfying productivity with visible results.

The main reason I’m giving House Flipper a negative review is because of the DLCs. The base game isn’t really enjoyable without them, and honestly, they’re overpriced for a game this old especially with a sequel out now. It got so repetitive, I felt like I was renovating the same house for 10 hours straight. Definitely not worth the time or money unless you’re ready to cough up extra for the DLCs.

this game is very chill and relaxing,i can gooning while play this game

An interesting, yet flawed game that is quite fun to slowly clean up a house and redecorate. I enjoyed buying abandoned properties and working my way up to some of the meme properties such as Home Alone and Deus Ex. The game has an incredible amount of items to decorate with and paint colors to customize to your heart's desire. Unfortunately, the game also suffers from awkward misalignment where it doesn't actually matter how beautiful and wonderful you make a property. Buyers only care about things such as number of bedrooms and whether you have rugs, plants, art, toys. It doesn't matter how you decorate as long as you fulfill their basic needs. Overall I did find the game to be enjoyable, although a bit tedious at times. The upgrades help a lot with the tedium and there is a lot of variety even in the base game. Hopefully they learn lessons for House Flipper 2 as this premise holds a lot of potential.

This is more of a cautionary no - its good when its on dirt cheap discount but not full price. There are SO many bugs. Most are small/visual and not intrusive, but others are infuriating. I have been attempting to sell a house to every buyer and even with a PERFECT match, I can't get the landlord to win an auction. Clicking on his profile even shows a higher bid! But the game tells me to waste hours of work selling to people I've already cleared :/ The developers clearly don't really want to come back and fix this up so play at your own risk.

Best 3 bucks i ever spent. I get to role-play cleaning houses while i never clean my own.

I play this game on and off for few years, but today I finished a house and went back to the office and now I cannot move. I have restarted and it still will not let me move. I can seem to post any where but here my problem, so I have to say No I would not recommend this game to others because soon or later you get stuck and have to restart the game at the begining. what a waste of time I but in this game and have to redo everything, no way this game is dead to me know. Unless they fix their bug.

Honestly, after a long day of work i‘m usually too tired to play games, but Houseflipper is just kinda relaxing for me, i can create my own „dream house“ or just clean up the mess from other people in peace without getting annoyed. You can be creative and just do whatever you want to do, if it‘s gardening, building up a farm, cleaning up, creating whole new houses the way you like, it never gets boring and nobody is there to stress you out!

Fun game and concept, unfortunately it's not long before you begin to run into small problems that should have been ironed out for a game that was released in 2018. Some of the bugs make it impossible to finish certain tasks which means you spend more time being annoyed rather than enjoying the game.

i absolutely love this game so fun and almost theraputic its calming fun and nice. love it i hope it gets updated more. i see a remaster is coming Anyways i def rec this game. 10/10 so far. thanks for this:3

Very nice and cute. a lot of different options to choose from! and many colours ;D

A ideia do jogo é legal, porém há muitos problemas de jogabilidade, mesmo jogando com mouse e teclado. Quem dirá com controle.

Forced ZSQD controls belong in museums and make you hit tab and allcaps everytime. Can't assign crouch to left ctrl or run to left shift. Retarded, out of date controls ruin the game. Yeah I use arrows, you have about 20 accessible keys and you always know were your fingers are, but no key remaping is beyond sh*t. Got it for 2 bucks but the tutorial is far enough. F this game, buy crime scene cleaner instead.

ive played this for so much time like oh my god ive spent most of my life on this game this game in particular has taken up more time than any game has ever taken up timefor anyone ever 3.14159..../10

at friest i was ready to refund the game if i didnt like iit but wow its good its really good i reccommend you to play it

I started off not liking this game but I stuck with it. After I sold my first house with almost no upgrades for a 12K profit, I was hooked. I've now sold 4 homes and made a nice 134k profit on my last one. Now I can't wait to remodel my next one and see if I can break that amount. Having fun and glad I stuck with it.

great customization options and avenue for creativity

I picked up this game on the steam sale and it's so fun and cozy I love it. Perfect for the player who loves simulation games, cleaning, and decorating, I will definitely be getting the DLCs!

If you enjoy cleaning, painting, and fixing up houses, this game hits the spot! Super chill, fun, and great for when you just wanna relax. Gets a bit repetitive after a while, but the DLCs bring the fun back. 8.5/10

An extremely relaxing game. Depending on your personality you might get bored of it quick or remain here for 1000s of hours.

Great game for especially old office laptops that can only run linux. The gameplay is addicting, the thought of the independent choice of either doing jobs from private (already pre scripted) customers or buying old houses and renovating them to ones aliking to just sell them afterwards keeps up at night and i wish i had real irl money to make my body not sleep just to play this game... And don't get me started about the dlcs (jesus) ... The only thing that is ruining my experience is that the expectations of the buyers of houses are not equivalent to the rooming of newly built houses (e. g. if you break down a wall or move a already assigned room (e.g. bedroom) to another room theyll just say that two bedroom arent enough. But you still make enough profit. But thats an old game and if my wallet isnt as tight as it is ... well always , i think the second iteration of house flipper has already fixed it. 10/10 definetely recommend

I'm only like 90 minutes in and this is one of my more favorite games. I love cleaning when it isn't a chore, and this game is extremely good at making it less like a chore and more like an activity/hobby. I can see myself gifting this game to my friends. I haven't seen much of the sequel, but if it is multiplayer, I will be picking that up (after I work my way through this game of course!)

Its a great game, But ive played the entire game and not once did i flip a house. So as a professional house flipper myself, i did not flip any houses.

Just a really fun decorating game! There's a lot of freedom, especially once you get enough to buy and design your own houses! It doesn't take long and money is not hard to earn, so you can start going crazy pretty fast! Plus there's a bunch of hidden secrets and joke houses, which I love! Highly recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly did not expect to enjoy House Flipper as much as I did. The idea of cleaning and fixing up houses sounded simple, maybe even boring. But once you get into it, it becomes surprisingly relaxing and oddly addictive. There is something really satisfying about taking a total mess and turning it into a clean, cozy home. [b]Cleaning actually feels fun[/b] You might think scrubbing walls and picking up trash sounds like a chore, but in this game it somehow feels great. You start with a wrecked house and every little bit of cleaning or fixing feels like progress. There is no rush and no pressure. You can take your time, work room by room, and just zone out while making things better. [b]Small jobs prepare you for the big flips[/b] Before you start buying and flipping entire houses, you take on smaller jobs for clients. These help you get the hang of the tools and figure out how everything works. Some jobs are simple cleanups and others have you repainting or remodeling rooms. As you save money and level up, you unlock better tools and more options. Eventually, you get to buy houses yourself and really make them your own. [b]The vibe is super chill[/b] There are no enemies, no timers, no stressful challenges. Just you, your toolbox, and a messy house. The music is soft and easy to ignore, the controls are straightforward, and even the most cluttered rooms feel manageable once you start working. It is a perfect game to relax with after a long day. [b]A few quirks but nothing major[/b] The game is not perfect. Sometimes placing furniture feels fiddly and some of the mechanics like installing showers can be awkward. The graphics are simple but clean. These things can be a little annoying but they never ruin the experience. Once you get into the flow, you barely notice them. [b]Final thoughts[/b] If you like organizing, decorating, or just the feeling of making something messy look great, House Flipper is definitely worth trying. It is simple, relaxing, and surprisingly addictive. Even if you are not usually into simulation games, there is something really comforting about cleaning and creating in this one. I went in expecting a quick distraction and ended up hooked for hours just fixing toilets and painting walls. It is a weirdly satisfying little game that feels like a breath of fresh air.

i love cleaning and organizing. game is cleaning and organizing. i love game

It tends to overheat my Macbook, but otherwise it runs surprisingly well. It really feels like I'm cleaning and modifying someone else's house - without the actual energy spent on it!

The only reason I do not recommend this game is because there's HP2. I didn't know about that at the time and got this one. It's the type of game you can kind of relax with, turn your brain off. Becomes a bit repetitive after a while, however. Once you flip a few houses it's all just the same stuff over again. Feels lonely and empty.

i am not a gamer, just an old lady who discovered this game with my husband. Now I am the one addicted to it! lol I find it relaxing and fun!

LOVE this game! There is so much to do and so many options to choose from for decorating. Slowly getting the DLC too to add even more content! Would definitely recommend this game if you like sim games and decorating.
