Our take on Panelka
Rather than using decoration as one layer within a larger management or life simulation, the game makes interior arrangement its central activity. Its period setting also replaces the usual contemporary or fantasy backdrop with late-1980s and early-1990s post-Soviet apartments.
What is Panelka?
Arrange a cozy apartment or garage using furniture, paintings, posters, wallpapers, paints, brick walls, and other decorative objects inspired by the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Choose from apartment layouts such as Khrushchyovkas and panel buildings, then place items freely without a grid or fixed positioning rules. Move objects whenever an arrangement does not fit. The game focuses on creating a personal interior rather than completing stated objectives. A photo mode allows atmospheric screenshots and desktop wallpapers. Its setting draws on post-Soviet interiors and memories of childhood and youth, while the available furniture and decorative details support different combinations of colors, walls, and room arrangements.
