Developer Image Power S.A.'s Haunted House Renovator is basically Paranormal Activity meets House Flipper in a game that turns players into paranormal renovators. House renovation sims such as House Flipper now seem like a dime a dozen, especially on the mobile marketplace for Android and iOS devices.
Empyrean's and Frozen District's House Flipper originally launched on PC via Steam in 2018 to widespread acclaim.
