#SteamSpotlight Feature: House Flipper
Released in May 2018, House Flipper is a simulation game that lets you, the player, "become a one-man renovation crew," according to its Steam page. The game, which is developed by Empyrean and published by Frozen District and PlayWay S.A., involves purchasing a fixer-upper, repairing and remodeling it, and then selling it for profit.
However, you will not be able to purchase a house to fix up right away as you will first need to earn money in order to do so. You will first have to take jobs offered by residents. These jobs involve painting walls, installing showers, and more.
