Cozy house-building sim Summerhouse will let you design the tiny house of your dreams brick by brick, or should I say grid by grid.

Summerhouse is an upcoming city-builder that’s on a much smaller scale. The chill simulation game lets you design the outside of several tiny homes and other buildings. Developer Friedemann has shared several clips of the indie in action and it’s got me so excited to build my own little houses when the game eventually releases, seemingly next year.

As you can see from the clip below, Summerhouse players have control over every aspect of the house’s exterior, like the architecture, the furnishings, and even the nature surrounding it.

According toSummerhouse’s Steam page, players will build up their houses using 100+ modular building blocks in a grid system to create quaint little neighborhoods. As the developer reveals: “The point of this game is for you to have fun and enjoy being creative. You can’t win or lose it and you can’t be bad at it.”

This is just one of the upcoming home designing/renovating games I’ve got on my radar. Along with Summerhouse, I’m also eyeing the equallycozy room decorating game Momento, organization simCamper Van: Make it Home, and one of my most anticipated games of the year inHouse Flipper 2.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
