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

Hours Played At Time of Review: 31 Started flipping houses to relax... now I’m knee-deep in demolished walls, paint swatches, and wondering if I can install a toilet just a little off-center to cause emotional distress to future buyers. This game is oddly therapeutic — there’s something deeply satisfying about turning a roach-infested disaster into a Pinterest-worthy dream home. I told myself I’d do one quick job before bed... 6 hours and 3 full renos later, I’m still asking, “Do I really need a kitchen and a living room?” The customization is great, the tasks are oddly addictive, and even the power-washing feels like digital ASMR. Best part? I flipped a haunted house. Yes. Full-on ghost vibes. I walked in like, “Nope,” but the payout was too good — so I saged the place (in my mind), painted over the creepiness, and sold it to some unsuspecting NPCs. Sorry, Karen. Hope you like mystery doors and flickering lights. Bottom line: House Flipper is where chaos meets creativity. 10/10 would exorcise and renovate again.

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.

I am so disappointed. I got this game when it first was around and i loved it. Have played over 200 hours. The end of last year/start of this year the game crashed. I have no idea why and i couldn't get back into the game. Once i was finally able to get back it lost all the progress i had made on the current house and then wouldn't let me save. I decided to try again after so many failed attempts and it let me in! But my home office that was fully renovated and i had built additions onto was completely reset to the default and half my animals were gone! I was so angry because that was so much work but i decided to just suck it up and start over. I completed cleaning the rubbish around the office and decided to do a mission which i had previously completed and was suddenly back again. Once completed it took me back to my office and all the rubbish was back again! I am so upset as i have never been a big gamer and was so excited i had a game i loved. I wont be going back to the game unless these bugs will be fixed and id love to know why all my stuff was gone. Nearly 300 hours feels like a waste.

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.

Love this game. I actually have a copy for pc, xbox, and the switch. I do prefer the game play on the pc. The only thing that drives me crazy about the switch version is you cant change the house overhangs they always look dirty. Would love to be able to change the color on them. I just started plying the pc version and the DLC so far I love how smooth the game play is and my favorite DLC so far is HGTV. I will review later after I hd more time trying everything out.

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.

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.

Just couldn't enjoy this game. Painting walls was extremely frustrating, for instance, with my mouse. The update included a DLL that my antivirus flagged as a trojan. The idea was okay, I guess, but I found the game play extremely frustrating.

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.

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.

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

I uninstalled this game, and I wish I could get my money back. I don't like ads. And for some reason Empyrean or their publisher or whomever won't stop advertising House Flipper 2 on the community feed. I think it's reasonable to purchase a title and to be able to enjoy that title without feeling obligated to buy it's lackluster sequel. There was no reason to make House Flipper 2. And you cannot force people to stop playing the game they love just because you decided to cash in on a sequel. Eat your humble pie, do your layoffs and stay the fuck out of my feed. Thank you.

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.

I like that it is a good relaxing game, with good graphics, a wide range of products in the catalogue and the liberty to do whatever you want with the house you want to sell.

I just raged quit after 30 hours. I hate how finicky placement of objects and furniture is. I really hate that you can't change the outer foundation of the house - only inner. But for me, it's how clunky and finicky the game is. It should not take more than one or two tries to place a stupid table in a room.

Amazing cozy game I can sink hours and hours into without realizing it.

At first this game felt like it was an xbox or playstation game but after getting used to the controls, its a really fun game and its a good game for all the inerior design people who want to gain some practice "working on houses"

Game is just ok. Not thumbs up worthy due to not enough content but a lot of DLC to purchase. Once you complete all quests, sell all houses what is left? Restarting...

I play this game alot. Fun to play if you're bored and need something to do. Minutes pass by like seconds while playing. so i give it ♾️/10 because its just that good

It's not fun because of the story - but if you like sim games where you can build/reno houses. Get it, watch hours go by...

Great game Im addicted ive had 8 hours in the game the first day I bought it also if its on sale deffinatly pick it up I got it for $2.50 and for that price 10/10

[b] Surprisingly addicting and super fun [/b] I bought House Flipper just to try it out — and ended up spending 5 hours in it right away. It’s one of those games where you start doing a little cleaning or painting, and suddenly you’re completely hooked. There’s something really satisfying about fixing up messy, broken houses and turning them into something beautiful. Breaking down walls, painting, placing furniture, cleaning up trash — it all just works so well together. The whole process is weirdly relaxing but also exciting at the same time. I didn’t think I’d enjoy a game like this so much, but it honestly pulled me in. If you like interior design, renovation stuff, or just chill games where you can make things look nice — I totally recommend it.

Acest joc este foarte interesant si creativ. 8/10. Devine plictisitor daca joci mult timp.

I am not sure why I like it but its calming and gives me an outlet for my creativity.

I'm not big into sim games usually but this one grabbed me as it's a full on labor of love from the devs. It's super chill with no added stress, and there are sooooo so many more features now than when it first dropped.

This game is fun but the money you make for flipping houses is not good enough. I bought some DLCs but ended up buying the second game.

Very enjoyable house clean up/renovation game. Wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I have!

In House Flipper, you play as a, WELL, house flipper, who buys run-down properties, renovates them, and sells them for a profit. The game play is incredibly straightforward, but that's what makes it so appealing. You start by browsing through a list of available properties, each with its own unique characteristics, such as size, location, and condition. Once you've found a property that catches your eye, you can purchase it and get to work on renovating it. Renovation is where the game truly shines. You'll need to clean, paint, and decorate the property for your clients, as well as fix any broken appliances or structural issues. The game's attention to detail is impressive, with a wide range of tools and materials at your disposal. From scrubbing toilets to installing new flooring, every task is meticulously recreated, making you feel like you're really getting your hands dirty. The game's graphics are surprisingly good, with detailed and realistic environments that make you feel like you're really walking through a house. The sound design is also top-notch, with realistic sound effects that add to the immersion. From the sound of a hammer hitting a nail to the hum of a vacuum cleaner, every sound is perfectly recreated. One of the things that really impressed me about House Flipper is its replay value. With a wide range of properties to choose from, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities, you'll never run out of things to do. The game also features a dynamic market, where property prices fluctuate based on the state of the economy, adding an extra layer of strategy to the game. The conclusion overall, I'm thoroughly enjoying House Flipper, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of simulation games or home renovation shows. The game play is addictive and entertaining, the graphics and sound are top-notch, and the replay value is incredibly high. If you're looking for a game that'll keep you busy for hours on end, look no further than House Flipper. Steam Review Rating: 9/10 Recommendation: If you enjoy simulation games, home renovation shows, or just want to try something new, House Flipper is a must-play. Playtime: 3.3hrs so far System Requirements: The game runs smoothly on mid-range hardware, but may require more powerful hardware for high-end graphics settings. Positives: Addictive and entertaining game play,Realistic graphics and sound design, High replay value, Dynamic market adds extra layer of strategy Negatives: Some tasks can feel repetitive in beginning, Limited character customization options, No multiplayer mode Overall, House Flipper is a fantastic game that's well worth the investment. With its engaging game play, realistic graphics, and high replay value, it's a must-play for fans of simulation games and home renovation shows. So what are you waiting for? Get flipping!
