Lofi Haven

In Lofi Haven, you start from one of four preset rooms or an empty apartment. To fill it, the game offers dozens of tables, wardrobes, shelves, stoves, carpets, plants, beds, … all the way to speakers, workout tools, mugs, pans, and cutting boards. Many of the objects can have different textures applied to them or be painted in simple RGB ways, and being able to resize them with correct scaling or by skewing their X/Y/Z adds even more creative freedom. The limit here truly is your own imagination.

Like many games these days, there’s a complimentary cat included, but here, you can not only choose from 50+ cat presets but also customize the fur color as well as shape-morph your cat. You can even freehand-draw on the fur before you watch your highly customized feline prance about the place.

The in-game audio player comes with more than 60 fitting lo-fi tracks to put you in the mood for real or virtual rainy days. Additionally, you can customize your own mix of white noise background sounds to combine with the music, or let that play instead of them.

A pomodoro timer and simple to-do list round out the many features, but the most impressive certainly is the desktop wallpaper mode, in which the game vanishes from your taskbar and your current camera position becomes your desktop background, complete with rain outside of your apartment (or the aforementioned cat walking around and cat things).

However, among the advertised features, we were not able to find the online co-op mode or other social features. While there’s a city outside your apartment windows, the camera you control can’t actually go there. A few object interaction choices remain untranslated to English, but as they do have reasonably descriptive icons it’s not a big problem.
