ABOUT THE TEAM
The Studio
We are Housefolk, a tiny-yet-mighty game studio of two, set out to make cozy simulation games that are accessible and fun for everyone 🙂
We have more than 15 years of experience in the games industry between us, and we have worked on some cool games for PC and mobile, such as Space Engineers, Loona, Cities: Skylines 2 and Sunshine Days. One fateful day we decided to team up and make a long time idea of ours a reality!
The Game Hub
LGIN has helped us tremendously during our first steps as a studio, and we probably wouldn’t be kicking still without their support and encouragement.
