With spring in the air, now is the time to start daydreaming about that idyllic country life everyone says they want. Designing your own cozy house, living in a little village with a population of eight, and a ramshackle but charming main street with cafes where you can sit in the sun.
It’s a very simple game. Down the left side of the screen is a menu of design elements you can use to create your houses and landscapes. As you plan your perfect kitschy streets, walls, roofs, doors, windows, decorations, and greenery are all available to you.
There’s no story or plot to SUMMERHOUSE. Unless you want there to be. Who’s to say what weird little worlds you can think up and populate in your brain for the sparse citizens of your creations?
Yes, there are payphones, which delighted me for a reason I cannot fathom (I am old). What I’m saying is that it’s fun to pretend. Or not. You can simply build and perfect your tiny houses for hours on end. There’s no right way to play.
Whether you are basking in the sunshine of the countryside, constructing in the electric glow of lights at night, or creating weird towers to nowhere in the forest, it’s a relaxing, creative experience that can be revisited over and over.
