## What is Housewarm?

Housewarm is a small, slow game about making a home.

Tap a floor and a piece of furniture appears that suits the room: a bed in the bedroom, a stove in the kitchen, a lamp beside the armchair. Tap it again to try another. Hold to change its colours. Drag with the pencil to draw new rooms, paths, fences, flower beds and ponds. If you'd rather choose for yourself, the drawer holds every piece.

The house is alive while you build. A cat wanders from room to room, naps in sunny spots, watches the rain from the windowsill and curls up by the fire. The day passes: morning light moves across the floors, lamps come on at dusk, and fireflies come out over the garden at night. Sometimes it rains.

And the garden brings its own visitors. Dig a pond and frogs settle on the lily pads, croaking after dusk. Plant flower beds and butterflies drift in; put up a beehive and bees go from flower to flower. Birds come to a bird bath, a hedgehog snuffles out from under a shrub at night, and an owl blinks from the branch of an apple tree. Each one comes the first time your house has what it likes, and the visitors' book keeps everyone you've met.

Outside, the land runs on in every direction, with woods, meadows, trails and ponds, and your plot grows as you build towards its edge. Start a house in a meadow or beside a river, move it whenever you like, and turn the view with two fingers to see it from every side.

- Hand-made pixel art, lit by the sun and lamps
- Cats with their own little routines
- Frogs, butterflies, bees, birds, a hedgehog and an owl to welcome
- Day and night, rain and clear skies
- Gardens with paths, fences, beds, trees and ponds
- Meadow and riverside places to build in
- Original chiptune music and soft ambient sound
- Every house saves itself as you go
- No ads, no timers, no accounts, and it works offline

Housewarm is free to play, with the example houses and one house of your own in the meadow. Full House, a single purchase, adds as many houses as you like, riverside, and every place still to come.

The world can wait.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-10-26

A big one: a whole town to warm, people to live in it, and more to furnish with.

• New game: a little town gone cold. Pick a cottage, mend it and warm it, then the next. As the town comes back, the well flows, the windmill turns, the bakery bakes and the bandstand plays a waltz at dusk.
• Residents. Someone moves into every warm house and keeps a day of their own: gardening at dawn, reading by the fire, a long bath, bread from the bakery, stars on a clear night.
• Mend a cold house. Tap to fix what's broken, clear the rubble, and watch its colours warm back through.
• More to decorate with: wardrobes, built-in shelves, a clothes rail, kitchen and café tables, chairs, a wing chair, three new rugs, and ten new walls, from pine panelling and shiplap to wainscots, subway tiles and warm plasters.
• Houses with their roofs on. Work in the garden and the house closes into a cottage; tap a room to open it.
• Replay. Watch any of your houses being built again, as an old film.
• Share a house with a friend as a link.
• Creative keeps everything you had: your own houses, as many as you like with Full House.
