House Flipper VR gives the player a unique chance to become a one-person renovation crew and take care of neglected fixer-uppers.

After launching on PC two years ago, House Flipper has continued to deliver joy to its fans with regular updates, DLC, and by expanding onto new platforms.

It’s the perfect moment for another big step, this time into the world of Virtual Reality!

It doesn’t matter if you just discovered House Flipper, or it has been on your “top games” list for months. If you’re into interior design and makeovers, you will love the opportunity to enjoy them using your VR goggles!

House Flipper VR brings a unique experience, no matter if you ever tried virtual renovations. The veterans will definitely notice some items they have never seen before as well as a new graphic design. But all this is just the tip of the iceberg. The biggest revolution is in the gameplay itself. We have completely redefined all the mechanics: from now on you are not getting rid of all the dirt from the counter with a single click - swing that virtual brush yourself!

Looking for new VR challenges? You have come to the right place - just about time for a makeover! Look through your goggles to see all the wrecked houses crying out loud for your help. Grab the controllers and get to work! You will single-handedly assemble the heaters, plaster the walls, and do tens of other jobs to bring back the former glory of the place.

The VR version of House Flipper, which is already available on Oculus Quest, is now finally ready to transfer over to Steam with a new, much more advanced graphics style designed for powerful PC VR setups!

After months of improvement and polishing, House Flipper VR is ready to take on Steam startiong on November 5th! If you’re a fan of flipping fixer-uppers and going crazy with your own interior design ideas, then you should try doing it in virtual reality! It doesn’t matter if you’ve ever played the original game before, as House Flipper VR is a completely standalone project made from scratch!

“We’ve now created two versions of House Flipper VR. There’s the Oculus Quest version and the Steam one. The difference lies in the graphics style, which is substantially more detailed in the Steam version. We’ve also made sure to put lots of effort into optimization, so that not only the highest-end VR systems can run the game smoothly. Overall, the development process was planned very carefully to allow us easier creation of regular updates in the future.” Said Patryk Czajka, leader of the VR development team.

Renovation activities require a lot of effort, so we got you some backup. Uncle Harry will take you under his wings, regularly seeking new special jobs for you to take on: one client might need an overnight express cleaning after a party, another will require some help with his family problems - you will not get bored!
During the renovation process, you can always count on Beaver the Builder!

This animated companion will not only bring a smile to your face but will also support you, explaining the elements of the game. He is not only taking care of the woodwork!

There is a series of challenging renovations ahead of you, so do not hesitate! Reach for your tool belt, get your crew and take matters in your own hands. Are you going to become the best flipper? It is all up to you!

“Originally, we were after creating a short VR experience based on House Flipper just for Oculus Quest. Later on, after receiving lots of feedback, the idea transformed into the concept of creating a full House Flipper VR game in two separate editions. During the development process, we planned everything out so that we will have the ability to deliver regular content updates in the future,” said Patryk Czajka, leader of the VR development team.

And the best thing about it? You don’t have to worry if you’re using a PC VR setup or a portable one, as House Flipper VR will be available in two editions! Working with Oculus, we have prepared a special version for the Oculus Quest, as well as a second, graphically-enhanced version for the fans of some non-standalone but more powerful VR setups.

Currently available through the Oculus Store, House Flipper VR will be available on Steam (Oculus, Valve VR, HTC Vive) starting November 5, 2020, at $14.99.
