HUUUUGE Halloween Update: New Job, House & Weather System & 50+ Items!

On Steam

🎃 Hey Flippers!

It's spooOOoOky time! We’ve just dropped a massive free Halloween Update! Get ready for a brand-new job featuring a fully-voiced client and a sweet treat for all you Slavic folklore fans. On top of that, we’re adding a property to flip and a huge batch of fresh items to decorate with.

But hey, words can only say so much. Check out the teaser trailer below and see all the spooky goodness for yourself!


A Bewitching New Job: Deep Woods Secrets

We’re taking you deep into Heart Valley for a brand-new job! Nestled far away in the forest is an old, weathered cottage that hasn't seen a visitor in years. Locals have been avoiding the place, whispering rumors about sorcery, witchcraft, and mysterious glowing eyes moving around the property at night.

Now, the new owner wants to clear the cobwebs and turn this creepy cabin into a cozy retreat. It’s going to take some real magic on your part to make it happen. Luckily, your magic wand is a trusty mop and a paint roller! Although, there might be moments when you'll wish you brought a sword instead...

Meet your new client, Mira Yagowska. If you are familiar with Slavic folklore, you probably recognize the Baba Yaga theme right away. We won’t spoil the fun of finding all the easter eggs hidden around the property, but let's just say the legendary witch is indeed involved. Mira is her very proud descendant, and she is counting on you to renovate the place.

Time to make Grandma Yaga proud!


A New Haunt for Sale

If you're looking for a property with a bit of... history, we've got just the thing. Hidden deep in the woods is a workshop once owned by a well-known fortune-teller. Despite its remote location, it was a busy place, constantly attracting folks eager to learn about their future, as well as hardcore magic enthusiasts.

Recently, however, the clairvoyant packed up her crystal balls and relocated her business closer to the town center. The official story is that she wanted to be more accessible… Like it was ever a problem for her clients. If the dictionary had a picture for the word ‘fishy’, it would be her.

There is something particularly striking hidden within this property that hints at the real reason she decided to sell it so suddenly. Are you brave enough to grab your tools, clean up the place, and uncover what truly chased her away?


Trick or Treat: Over 50 Spooky New Items!

You didn’t think we’d send you into the deep woods empty-handed, did you? Here is your own magic wand, a werewolf bodyguard, a perfectly balanced stiletto… oh, sorry, wrong list, that’s mine. For you, we have a headscarf, a witch's broom, and an old tome filled with scripts that look like they were written by a drunk jester.

To help make this spooky real estate feel like home, we've prepared over 50 brand-new items for this update. Whether you are decorating a cozy cabin or a full-blown witch's lair, we've got exactly what you need.

You can set up your very own fortune-teller corner, complete with a crystal ball resting perfectly on a wooden coffee table. If that’s not enough, you can hang mystical, moon-themed ornaments on your wood-paneled walls and pile up some old, leather-bound books on a floating shelf.

Feeling like going the more traditional route? No problem at all. An iron cauldron, magic crystals, a folk-themed hanging candle chandelier, ancient scrolls... we’ve got it all. There is even a slightly creepy straw doll ready for you! Just don’t hide it in a dark corner, or your buyers might think the place is cursed.


☀️🌧️ Weather System: best way to set the perfect mood for every house

You can’t have a spooky cabin bathed in bright sunlight! To help you set the perfect vibe for your eerie renovations, we’ve added a new Weather Selection feature directly in the gameplay menu.

You now have the absolute power to control the elements. While Light clouds remains the default option, a dramatic thunderstorm is just a click away. Choose from:

  • Light clouds (default) - default weather that has been in the game since the remaster's release.

  • Clear sky

  • Clouds

  • Overcast

  • Rain

  • Heavy rain

  • Dynamic - the weather changes dynamically between all of the above

⚠️ WARNING! Keep in mind that RAIN is resource-intensive and can cause frame rate drops.



💡 Another lighting improvement package


We’ve improved daytime lighting for pumpkins, fireplaces, lanterns, and more. Previously, their light was completely invisible during the day - now it’s properly calculated dynamically.
