Builder Simulator

Builder Simulator is the perfect game for those who want to build a house, from the ground up, one brick at a time. On easy, the game will guide and teach you by showing you full instruction, but on hard you will get no help - instead rely on your builder skills and make everything yourself.

“From the very beginning, I was excited to buy this game. I expected to be able to build my dream house and furnish it exactly how I wanted. In practice, however, it was completely different — instead of creative freedom, I ran into constant restrictions. I started by practicing…”
