Dream Home

Prospectus

A cozy 3D builder where you design and furnish your very own house from scratch. Raise walls and floors, paint them any color, hang wallpaper, lay flooring, arrange furniture, and decorate the yard: from flower beds and a campfire to a pool and a fountain. Finished a room? Step inside! First-person walk mode lets you stroll through your house, climb the stairs, and see the result with your own eyes, by day and by night. Want more than a sandbox? Fill client orders: build to the brief, get graded on your work, earn experience, and level up. A special challenge order is available every day. As you level up, new plots unlock — so you can work on several houses at once.

How it plays

Controls on computer: mouse — building and camera (right button — rotate, wheel — zoom), WASD/arrows — move camera, R — rotate item, Delete — sell, Esc — exit walk mode. Controls on phone: tap — build and select, two fingers — rotate and zoom camera, joystick — walking in walk mode.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. The file is drawn wide, for a landscape screen — turn a phone sideways, or let a tablet or desktop give it room to breathe. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for cozy holdings

• There is no fail state to outrun, so spend attention instead of urgency. Cozy games reward noticing — the regular's order, the corner that wants a plant, the recipe nobody has tried.
• Decorate with intent. In the cozy shelf, arrangement is often the actual system: a well-placed shelf sells, waters or welcomes better than an expensive one dropped anywhere.
• Play these in short sittings. The design assumes you will return tomorrow; the garden, café or cottage keeps best when it is visited the way it was built — gently and often.

Dream Home — questions from the readership

What does it cost to open Dream Home?

Nothing, at any point. The holding is free from the first click to the last upgrade — no account to open, no download to wait for, no paywall filed anywhere in its pages. The advertising around this page is what pays the bookkeeping.

What kind of game is Dream Home, exactly?

We file it on the Cozy shelf of the ledger. It is a browser game through and through — the prospectus above is the publisher's own summary of what the game asks of you and what it gives back.

Can I play Dream Home on a phone or tablet?

Yes — it runs in the browser on phones and tablets just as it does on a computer. The file is drawn wide, for a landscape screen — turn a phone sideways, or let a tablet or desktop give it room to breathe.

Is there anything to download or install first?

Nothing at all. Dream Home is an HTML5 game: press the open button and it loads on this very page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind on your device.
