Once upon a time, in your childhood home, you had a couch. The couch was facing a TV. Next to the TV was a boxy game console and a neat stack of game cartridges. You were a gamer! This was your world. The Living Room lets you relive that experience on a mobile device. Rebuild your childhood, brick by brick — and as you play or unlock achievements in your 2D games, you’ll earn new furniture to customize your space. A game won’t work? Better blow air into it. Need new games? Buy one from the mailman. Out the window, you can see, beautiful landscapes and procedurally generated weather. But who cares? The outside is boring. Let’s play 2D games on Channel 3. PS: The Living Room is also family friendly, so feel free to play the games with your kids, and remember pixelated home console gaming, together. ## Key features - Virtual childhood home simulation - Unlockable furniture for customization - Play classic 2D games - Earn rewards through achievements - Procedurally generated landscapes - Family-friendly gameplay ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 60 coins | $1.99 | one-time | | 25 Coins | $0.99 | one-time | | 125 coins | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 10) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/the-living-room/id1153215591/reviews.md ### 4/5 — A hidden gem *2025-07-21* Hopefully it will get more updates :).

While leaping from lily to lily I found myself amazed by my natural surroundings and utter carelessness about death. I died, I was reincarnated. I died, I was reincarnated. And I died again. I was freed of the stress that comes with living as a mere mortal. As I relaxed back into my Living Room, I looked out the window. It was sunny. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Games inside games! *2019-07-08* I love this app. You can escape into your own little universe and discover so many creative, funny, entertaining games.
