A casual sandbox life simulation game

Hometopia is a casual sandbox game and life sim in which the player can build, design, and renovate houses. These houses are spread across five distinct neighborhoods in career mode, though the player can also create their own neighborhood if they like. The game also features Steam Workshop integration for community content.

While the life-sim nature of the game might draw obvious comparisons to games like The Sims 4, Hometopia is actually closer to games like House Flipper due to the emphasis on designing and renovating houses in the game’s neighborhoods.

Build, design, and renovate

Hometopia puts the player in charge of the renovation and construction of houses in the game’s neighborhoods. There are several tools to work with, such as a blueprint mode for laying the foundations of the houses. There is also a huge range of content when it comes to things like decoration and furniture to choose from.

Multiple game modes

Career modes put the player into a situation where they have certain tasks to complete across a number of locations throughout five unique neighborhoods. These tasks grow in difficulty, giving the player a sense of progression as they succeed at each task. For players looking for a more casual experience, sandbox mode allows them to build as they wish.

A well-made casual life sim game

Hometopia has everything that might be expected of a game about designing and building homes. It has multiple game modes to keep players interested and a lot of content to use when building a home. However, it can feel somewhat sterile without any playable characters, though this will likely be a matter of preference.
