Camper Van: Make it Home

[b] Overall Experience [/b] [b] 6/10 [/b] The main „story“ is essentially picking out colors for your van and then you organize all items into it. It’s a relaxing tidy up game. The graphics are beautiful and cute, I love how many variations there are of the same item and the colors and textures are just aesthetically pleasing. It is however kind of boring and cheap that half the missions are just the same van but adding a few items more. First time it was cute as if we are actually getting more things while traveling, but if it's every second mission it's just annoying because there is not enough room for everything and it feels cluttered. The weirdest thing was also that the outdoor items were just the summer outdoor items for the winter landscape which makes no sense… Wish the items would’ve corresponded with the winter theme or give us a whole winter mission. But bonus points for letting us have a lil travel buddy lol. Definitely don’t binge this game or else it will get repetitive. It feels better and I think it’s also intended that way if you take your time as if you actually were the owner of the camper van and upgrade your van over the course of weeks. (I say this as someone who lowkey binged this xD Learn from my mistakes) It also doesn’t help that its always the same items even when your camper van gets upgraded… Creative mode is where it’s at, there you have full control and can even customize the colors of the items. There are even items and customization for the van you didn’t have in story mode. So while I recommend this game, I would advice you to buy this on sale as the main "story" is finished quickly (2-3 hours) and you will probably spend most of your time in creative mode.

(Bought on sale at $5.99) I genuinely loved this game, and I think it's great for anyone passionate about "vanlife" or the specific adventurous, cozy feeling from camping. Weirdly, I was more impacted by this game than Unpacking. Unpacking is a visual novel with clearcut places for every item, but this game is even more subtle in how it approaches any kind of story. It kind of forces you to slow down and meditate, like you would when coloring a coloring book. There's a very specific emotion this game unlocks, and it's that sense of calm when you're doing something simple but enjoyable by yourself. My only "critique" is that I would love a mix of story mode and creative, where there is some kind of minor objective or progression (even just in the unique items you can collect or polaroids you can take) but you have more personalized van design and object choices. Like if you choose to have the guitar in your van, you unlock background music, but if you have more art supplies, you unlock a different decor item. Or if you have no winter clothes in a winter location, you get a special tissue box item/chicken broth for getting sick. In irl vanlife, weighing what's important and unimportant on the road is a huge component, and it says a lot about your stages in life. It would just add a layer of personal weight to the items we carry over to the next van.

TLDR: Overall, an extremely charming games with adorable art and amazing cozy vibes. However, if unpacking games such as this are not typically your vibe, this will not change that, as it did not for me. That being said, if you love slow-paced, cozy games, this is probably for you. Pros: + Each area feels distinct and immersive because of the art direction, music, and ambient sounds. + SO.... CUTE.... + Color palette is such a chef's kiss + Everything feels extremely well thought-out, even the achievements; you can tell a lot of love went into the making of this game. + Creative mode is truly wondrous. In the short 15 minutes I was in it, I had a lot of fun scrolling around and decorating. Cons: - Story mode has very limited decorations and styles. - Sometimes, even with all the cabinets and storage space, I found myself running out of space quite often... perhaps it's a skill issue on my part though? - Because of this game, I have unfortunately discovered that this genre is simply not for me. I adore games like Sun Haven and Stardew Valley, but for some reason, this did not click with me as much as I wanted it to. If you have a similar palette for games as I do (I also love MMOs & horror games, if that helps?), this is something to think about. Was it worth it? I got this game during the Steam summer sale, and I think I got great value out of it. However, I would definitely not have paid the full $16 for it, especially as I didn't know if I'd like it. From a business standpoint, steam and devs make more money during sales than during non-sale periods, so I would recommend buying this game on sale regardless. Thanks for reading this far! Hope it was helpful!

A nice cute, cozy game. Exactly what you'd expect. One of those short and sweet achievement runs. A little pricey for what you get, I would recommend if it's on sale for sure. The controls do feel a little jank and what stacks/what doesn't is a bit odd and unclear but it's far from game ruining.

the actual story is a little short, but it was pretty fun to organize stuff. would recommend getting it on a sale

Camper Van: Make it home oyunu, iç dizayn eşya koyma düzenleme oyunu, tarz cozy ve rahatlatıcı, oyunun müzikleri hoş olmadı beğenmedim diyorsanız spotify ile sakin huzurlu playlist oynayıp kafa dağıtmak için birebir! gerek tasarım gerek karavan çizimler olsun çok beğendim. Oyunda ağırlıklı olmayan küçük bir hikaye moduda mevcut başarım toplayıcı iseniz bakınmanız gerekebilir rahatlatıcı/iç ısıtıcı olarak oyunu kesinlikle öneririm!!

This is a super cute, cozy game. Really nice for a calm evening and unwinding without any really intense missions. This is perfect for the slow days and something to just enjoy the vibe of!
