Game Overview
A dusty workshop, a neglected arcade cabinet, and the promise of uncovering something valuable drive this calm, hands-on restoration simulator. The Repair House: Restoration Sim puts you in charge of a growing business where battered antiques, toys, instruments, and industrial curiosities arrive with dirt, rust, missing parts, and plenty of potential. Its tone is deliberately unhurried: less about racing timers or complex management spreadsheets, more about the quiet pleasure of turning junk into a display-worthy showpiece. Every successful job feeds into the fantasy of building a workshop that feels genuinely personal.
Work begins with close inspection and careful disassembly, as individual screws, panels, mechanisms, and damaged components need to be removed before the real repair can start. Cleaning, sanding, sandblasting, replacing missing pieces, rebuilding, and repainting form the satisfying central loop, with each item demanding a slightly different approach. Profits unlock more tools, equipment, workspace, and restoration opportunities, while custom layouts let you decide where every station and decoration belongs. Outside jobs, you search barns, flea markets, abandoned storage lots, and auctions for undervalued finds, negotiate prices, and hunt down the parts needed to finish incomplete treasures.
What separates it from a simple cleaning sim is the level of object interaction: restorations involve taking items apart rather than merely rubbing away grime until a progress bar fills. The range of collectible objects gives the workshop a museum-like appeal, and the ability to choose paint colours means completed pieces can reflect your own taste instead of a fixed factory finish. Storage-unit gambles and auction bidding add a light risk-reward layer to the otherwise relaxing routine, giving scavenging a purpose beyond decoration. Fans of PC Building Simulator, House Flipper, or PowerWash Simulator who prefer detailed tinkering over pressure-heavy challenges should feel at home, while newcomers get an approachable introduction to the restoration genre.

My antivirus is blocking the game — is it safe?
