Our take on MakeRoom
The store page highlights guided requests alongside a catalog of more than 1,100 objects, but the described activity is primarily scene construction. Its variety comes from settings, object manipulation, custom furniture, pets, sound, and visual presentation.
What is MakeRoom?
MakeRoom is a sandbox building game for creating dioramas in rooms, campers, boats, and gardens.
Guided design requests introduce the available tools, while freeform building allows players to create scenes at their own pace. The game includes more than 1,100 objects, plus tools for making custom furniture from scratch. Objects can be moved, rotated, resized, and recolored. Backgrounds, environments, and ambient sound options provide additional scene settings. Players can add pets, clean scenes with tools such as a mop, duster, or vacuum, and use secret codes to unlock more objects. Creations can be photographed with filters and visual effects, then shared through Steam Workshop. The game also includes more than 6,000 creations to explore.
