Today’s game is House Flipper. It’s free to keep on steam apparently (no idea why but I assume it has to do with the sequel or remaster or whatever it is they’re doing). I’ve always wanted to dabble in this game but could never justify the price. It always felt like something I could dick around in for an evening and have fun but not sink a serious number of hours into.
Anyways. I painted the starting house. It was a chill experience. The painting is maddening though. Super tedious and slow. I ended up putting on some music and later got my partner in call with me and we chatted while I flipped houses. It was all worth it though in the end for that lovely purple wall.
I did end up putting the door on backwards by accident though. So that was a mistake. I’m too lazy to fix it so I hope I live in a good neighborhood and no one tries to rob me.
Today’s screenshots will be a bit short, which I think ties perfectly back to my introduction. Do I think this game met my expectations? Yes. After I completed what I wanted to do to the starting house I felt kind of aimless. Like. What else could I do? Go do another job? I know some people adore the kind of game where you do the same thing over and over again and I respect that. But I don’t think I’m that kind of person. I think ultimately this is a game where I dick around for a few hours and have fun for an evening before doing something else.

I’ve been playing this too the past few days, I like it. The thing with the painting is, after you’ve painted for a while, you get perk points which you can spend to paint faster. You get assignments in your email inbox and there you will learn new skills and get money.
Since you’re not the kind of person to do the same thing over and over though, I wouldn’t recommend this game. I think I’m more that kind of person, but I’m already getting tired of it.
