“This is a really peaceful, relaxing incarnation of an interior decorating game and has the distinction of being one of the only 3D ones of its kind to not make my computer sound like it's going to lift off. Jokes aside,…”
“Picked this game up for de-stressing during finals. Was so good ended up playing an hour straight off download. While the controls are a little iffy at times, im sure the amazing developers will continue to add more…”
