House Flipper
Editor’s Verdict: Chill Game
Ever wondered what it would be like to remake a house like those couples on HGTV shows? Well, get your hammers, paint, and tool belts ready because you’re going to need them for when you play House Flipper. This game allows you to flip houses: rework the layouts, move fixtures, and furnish to your heart’s content. And not only does the game test your creativity by creating something aesthetically pleasing (or not, your choice), you also can resell your newly renovated house once you think it’s completed! House Flipper is relaxing to play, which earns it the “Chill Game” verdict for this week. Available from PlayWay S.A. on Steam, as well as PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and other platforms.
Dead by Daylight

This game features multiple monsters and characters to choose from while also having good graphics! Don’t worry about social distancing as you track down victims in this horror game! Although if you’re a human, social distancing might seem like a dream! Have fun playing with your friends in this “COVID Approved” game!

Dream Daddy: A Dad-Dating Simulator
Editor’s Verdict: Bad But Good
Do you need a game to spice up your lonely, socially distanced life? How about finding your dream daddy in this dating simulator? While it might seem bad due to its cringy title and awkward premise, but I promise you it’s a laugh to play. This game goes beyond most with its inclusive character designs and options. It also has loveable characters, cute quests, and multiple “daddies” to choose from! I simply had gotten the game to laugh at and show my friends, but eventually it grew on me. I hope it grows on you as well!. Available from Game Grumps on Steam, as well as other platforms.
