We are back with our monthly Indie Showcase, where we pick one of the many recently produced gems by independent game developers and make sure it gets some well-deserved time in the sun. For January, we are taking a closer look at the sim sequel… House Flipper 2!
What is House Flipper 2?
House Flipper 2 is the second in this design and illustration series. Set in the charming community of Pinnacove, you work as a house renovator, breathing new life into run-down properties and even building new homes.
Developing on what made the first game so great, House Flipper 2 has both new and improved mechanics to make your renovating effortless. Master these tools of the trade in either the Story Mode, filled with engaging renovation projects and community lore, or Sandbox Mode, where you can let your creativity fly!
Whether you’re building your dream house or elevating the style of a run-down lot, House Flipper 2 provides you with all the easy, intuitive tools to create an interior design that Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen would be proud of!

Best PCs to Play House Flipper 2
Recommending a 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen or 10th Gen Intel Core processor doesn’t put House Flipper 2 at the most demanding end of the specification spectrum, but it could well be more than your PC can handle. Especially if you haven’t upgraded in a while! We have selected two PCs and a laptop which we think will be perfect for all kinds of house renovating, and there are plenty more to explore if you don’t agree.
