If you’re looking to expand your digital library without spending a single cent, Steam has delivered a double feature you won’t want to miss. For a limited time, users can claim the immensely popular renovation simulator House Flipper and the atmospheric horror title Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day completely free of charge. You have until April 6 at 12:00 PM CST to add these to your collection permanently. It’s a perfect chance to dive into one of the most relaxing hits on PC or test your nerves in a dark cave.
Become a Renovation Pro in House Flipper
Released in 2018, House Flipper is exactly what it sounds like—and so much more. As a one-person renovation crew, you buy devastated properties that require a steady hand and an eye for detail. The game became a viral sensation thanks to its incredibly satisfying gameplay loop, earning a “Very Positive” rating from thousands of players. Whether you’re scrubbing floors or knocking down walls, there is a strange therapeutic quality to turning a wreck into a dream home.
- Cleaning and Demolition: Remove trash, wash windows, and use a sledgehammer to reshape floor plans.
- Repairs and Installations: Fix electrical wiring, install radiators, and lay down new flooring.
- Interior Design: Furnish rooms and decorate according to your own taste or the specific demands of a buyer.
- Profit-Driven Selling: The goal is to renovate efficiently to maximize your profit on the housing market.
Huge Discounts on DLC and the Sequel
If the base game hooks you, now is the perfect time to expand the experience. A massive sale is currently running on all House Flipper DLC, including fan-favorites like Dine Out, Pets, Farm, Garden, and Luxury. Furthermore, House Flipper 2 is also discounted by 35%, bringing the price down to approximately $25. The sequel offers vastly improved graphics, new mechanics, and most importantly, 4-player online co-op—a feature the original lacked.
A Chilling Bonus: Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day
If flipping houses sounds a bit too domestic for you, Steam is also offering Depths of Horror: Mushroom Day for free until April 6. This first-person horror adventure plunges you into creepy, subterranean caves. Since its 2021 release, it has maintained a “Mostly Positive” rating. It’s a great “bite-sized” horror experience to play after a long day of painting walls and fixing plumbing in Godstone.
Editorial Perspective
Offering House Flipper for free is a brilliant move by the developers and Steam. It’s one of those rare games that looks like “work” on paper but feels like pure relaxation in practice—it’s the ultimate “podcast game.” Since the offer expires on April 6, we recommend claiming it immediately. Even if you don’t play it today, having one of the best simulators on the market in your backlog is a win. The DLC sales are just the icing on the cake for those who inevitably catch the renovation fever.
