A tired, five-storey apartment building in New York's East Village, the people who live in it, and one year to save it from a property developer. Early Access on Windows PC in Q3 2027.
10 November 2026. The Landlord's Legacy, a cozy management sim in which your tenants are the mystery, has opened its Steam page and can be wishlisted now. Set in a rundown apartment building in New York's East Village and made by solo developer Erdener Gönenç, it's planned for Early Access on Windows PC in Q3 2027.
Players begin by taking over Whitmore House, an apartment building with all the problems you'd expect of a crumbling old property. As tenants move in, you'll meet a night-shift nurse hoping for a quiet building, a former jazz saxophonist without work, an architecture student keen to learn more about the building's walls and a paranormal podcaster who isn't helping.
Watch on the old building's computer, Who's Talking, as their concerns travel from flat to flat, so you can calm an anxious resident before word spreads. Knocking at 3 a.m. and lights flickering on and off aren't always down to the occult, but figuring out what's going on will rely on you doing your job.
Features
- Meet the neighbours: win each tenant's trust, one flat at a time.
- Fix it up by hand: cleaning, painting and repairs, then the finishes and furniture, and a photo of each flat for its listing.
- Choose who moves in: advertise flats on Flatmatch and pick your tenants.
- Mind the gossip: see who's telling whom, and calm a nervous tenant before everyone knows.
- Small mysteries: find out what's really going on from what your tenants tell you.
- One year to save it: keep the bills paid, the flats filled and the inspectors happy while the developer waits for you to slip up.
- Play at your own pace: pause any time, and switch to Cozy mode whenever you like to keep the building safe from the developer.
