About the game
You take renovation jobs around Pinnacove, clearing rubbish, wiping dirt and turning neglected rooms into places people can use again. The money you earn lets you buy properties, change their layouts and sell them. Painting, placing furniture and choosing finishes are the main work. You also unlock tools and perks that make those jobs easier.
Up to four players can share both Story and Sandbox modes online. You work from the host’s progress, helping with the same renovation or making different parts of a house your own. Sandbox mode gives you empty plots and the tools to build a house from scratch. You can keep adjusting a design or try houses and jobs made by other players. It suits a group that wants steady practical tasks and time to talk while working.
