About 
Housefolk

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 12 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.

Featured Game
s

MonsterCare is a cozy management-simulation game that puts you in the shoes of a rookie owner of a wellness resort for monsters. It combines elements of Two Point Hospital with Tamagotchi, where you are tasked with constructing and managing your own resort, and providing the monsters with a much needed respite from their stress-filled lives.

As you give these creatures a place to relax and rejuvenate, you’ll also be able to make a nice profit for yourself to grow and expand your business. You’ll have to be strategic in how you allocate resources to ensure that the monsters have access to all the creature comforts they desire. The satisfaction of your patrons, and your own financial success depend on your ability to build a successful resort, so get ready to start managing!
