“Wonderful little title. I do selfishly wish there were a few more tenants, but for the dollar I spent I got more than my money's worth. Presentation was wonderful all around - just loved the overall vibe and aesthetic of this title. Keep being wacky Madison Karrh.”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“Winning the landlord’s heart is not an easy task, but the tenants do their best to achieve it. In the end, they succeed, leaving you with something to chew on. A short (~1 hour) puzzle game with a peculiar style.”
