Friedemann’s bite-sized building sim is like a massage for my brain, and I found myself living through my best holiday memories
Imagine an idyllic vacation. Where is your mind wandering? A Tolkienian pastoral glade? Maybe a terracotta cottage in a dusty desert? A lifetime of small-town living leaves me longing for a busy city apartment flanked by neon ads and wall gardens. Summerhouse is an intimate shoebox world that offers an outlet for such architectural fantasies, allowing players to meticulously craft lived-in spaces that match their vision of a perfect escape.
The antithesis of Grand Designs, Summerhouse is a game of indulgence – a pixellated playpen for the kitschy, quaint, grandiose, or obscure. You won’t need to consider a budget, or the foundations, or, god forbid, planning permission. Developer Friedemann’s hazy pixel world is your oyster.
