In Tiny House Simulator, you design and build a custom Tiny House for clients in this relaxing open-world building game. Create unique spaces suited to each client’s requirements, and dive into different layouts with the sandbox mode for total creative freedom. Developed and published by FarFromSky.
First Impressions
It happened again: I dove into another simulator game. This time, it was Tiny House Simulator, and as the name suggests, your task is to build a tiny house and deliver it to a customer. I have to say, I actually enjoyed the game quite a bit. It’s really not that bad.
The building process is incredibly relaxing. Designing and painting feel intuitive, just a bit easier than in similar sims, which helps prevent the experience from becoming repetitive too quickly.
The Open World Problem
Unfortunately, the game includes an open world. And honestly, they could have left that part out as far as I’m concerned. The mechanics feel outdated and look cheap. It feels like I’m driving around in a Roblox map. The car floats more than it drives. And if you accidentally drive into water, the vehicle doesn’t break or reset. Instead, you just keep driving along the bottom until you eventually fall endlessly through the map.
It seems like the developers really wanted to implement an open world, but didn’t quite have the skills or resources to make it work well. Delivering your own creations using a trailer or truck is a fun idea in theory. But it should function properly and look polished, which currently is not the case.
The Core Gameplay Shines
That is a shame, because the rest of the game is actually quite solid. The building system feels good and familiar, just like you would expect from a proper simulator. You can place walls, paint, lay tiles, and buy furniture. Everything you would expect from a game in this genre is here. The atmosphere is pleasant and calming. It’s perfect for sipping a cup of coffee while designing your tiny house.
One odd thing is that you can sell the entire interior without any kind of penalty.
A simple solution would be to make players repurchase the items if they sell them, or block them from completing the mission unless the required furniture is present.
Interface and Presentation
The user interface didn’t really work for me. I found it slow and a bit clumsy, which got pretty annoying over time. The music and 2D graphics are AI-generated. I won’t give a strong opinion on that here, since it’s a topic that invites debate. But for now, we’re focusing on the game itself.
Final Thoughts
Keep in mind, the game is still in Early Access. So there’s a good chance future updates will fix a lot and help the game really come into its own. And yep, here it is again: the game has potential, but it still needs time. The developer, FarFromSky, is actively working on it and has plans for things like mini-games, an economy update, new vehicles, and more content for the world map.
If you enjoy creative building and don’t mind a few technical hiccups, you might already find Tiny House Simulator to be a chill and fun experience. But if you’re expecting a polished sim with smooth driving and a fully fleshed-out open world, you’re probably better off waiting for a few more updates.
Either way, it’s definitely one to keep an eye on if you’re into cozy builder games with a bit of a twist.
