Our take on SUMMERHOUSE
The defining choice is the absence of goals or challenges: building homes is the activity itself, with no win-or-lose structure.
What is SUMMERHOUSE?
SUMMERHOUSE is a small-scale building game about creating neighborhoods of tiny, lived-in homes.
Build in seaside, city, or mountain settings, and uncover a few small secrets along the way. There are no rules, goals, or challenges, and the game has no winning or losing. Its focus is open-ended building and a relaxed atmosphere rather than completing objectives. The vendor characterizes it as a small game made by one person.
