Casual
To Build a Home
Is a 2D life simulation game that blends the charm of classic life simulators like *The Sims* with the depth of roguelite colony management seen in titles such as *Dwarf Fortress*. Players rent a house, move in with all their belongings packed in boxes, and race against time before rent is due. The game features smart, dynamic characters who manage their own needs, moods, and responsibilities—sometimes prioritizing duties, other times chasing instant gratification. Players can guide or manipulate these characters, shaping their lives in unexpected ways. With fully open game files, the game is easy to mod, allowing users to edit graphics or dive into .lua scripts to create custom locations, actions, and dialogues. Upcoming features include multiple playable characters, animal people, relationship systems, life stages, fears, a dynamic job market, and an expansive world map featuring houses with multiple floors and unique structures like vans and boats. This game offers endless possibilities for creative and chaotic storytelling. It truly brings life.
