Genre and what to do:
Business simulation. Have you ever dreamt of being an interior designer? If your answer is positive, Home Sweet Home gives you such possibility. Be ready to visit 50 clients' houses and attempt to decorate an equal number of rooms based on riddles customers provide, which give clues as to their personality and the type of accessories they adore. For example, one customer likes oriental motives, the other wants to have a fireplace. You have certain budget for each project, so you have to drag and drop various items onto empty floor plans to create client's idea of a perfect room. There is huge set of furniture to your disposal: couches, love seats, stereos, pool tables, plants, vases, tables, paintings and more ( over 400 items in total). When you use an item, you see immediate feedback on the client satisfaction meter; you need to meet or exceed minimum satisfaction level to proceed to a construction phase. During this second phase, under the watchful eye of project manager Bill Durr, you'll have to direct on-screen team members Brian, Goran and Liz to construct the furnishings you've placed. You should click on each worker to assign a task and watch energy level, which depletes as they assemble furniture. Their energy level is critical since you have certain deadline for each project, though you can replenish their energy level by dragging and dropping coffee pots onto exhausted workers.
