In Low-Budget Repairs, doing the job right is optional – making a profit isn't. Step into the shoes of a rookie contractor running a small renovation business in a 1990s Polish post-communist neighbourhood, where every byway is another opportunity to save money. Water down your paint, buy the cheapest tools you can find, and lay tiles without bothering to level them. Every sleazy “life hack” is allowed. If the customer doesn't notice, it's a job well done.

Players won't have to wait much longer to experience it for themselves. The Steam demo launches on July 24, giving everyone the chance to play through the opening section of the game, take on their first renovation jobs, meet a cast of memorable local customers, and test the tools and materials which help get the job done – regardless the quality.
Surpassing one million wishlists marks another major milestone for Simplicity Games and proves that the game's absurd humor, unmistakable 1990s post communist atmosphere, and unconventional take on the simulation genre resonate with players around the globe. The next milestone is just around the corner, as players will soon get their first hands-on experience with the game.
