Before we admire the new views, let's talk about the actual work. We’ve added some massive Quality of Life improvements to speed up your renovations.

Tired of picking up trash and weeds one by one? So were we. With the new Area Cleanup, you can quickly clear out large piles of clutter and overgrown patches. Prepping your space is now an absolute breeze!

That same efficiency applies indoors. Say goodbye to swinging your hammer at individual blocks. The new area demolition feature lets you smash through entire wall sections at once. It’s incredibly satisfying and saves a ton of time.

Built a house you absolutely love? Now you can take it with you. We’re introducing the ability to import and export your flipped houses between different save files. Your best designs are never locked to just one playthrough!

Many of the mechanics you’ve been complaining about have received major or minor upgrades to make your gameplay experience much smoother. Post-launch, we also want to take our time and bring some of these QoL changes to House Flipper 1 players as well.

Take a look at the gallery below to see our massive visual and environmental upgrades in action! With completely overhauled lighting and highly polished, intuitive mechanics, your flipping experience is about to reach a whole new level.

After months of passionate development, we're finally ready to share this carefully crafted DLC with you!

Here at Frozen District, lots of the devs are extremely passionate about everything Japanese - constantly learning about the language and the culture. Our team traveled to Japan on a couple of occasions - most recently with inspiration for this very DLC in mind!

We can confidently say that this was a passion project for many of us here, and we went above and beyond to bring you a special kind of experience with this one! 💙

We really hope you'll enjoy our work:
