Building Relationships
Release Date: Q1 2025
Platforms: PC
Play as a house, roll around lo-fi PS1-looking environments, flirt with other buildings. That’s the crux of Building Relationships, an indie game from a single developer named Tanat Boozayaangool. The part I like best is how all of the dialogue feels like someone downloaded their messiest group chats and text message threads and boiled them down into the funniest moments. It’s deeply personal but with the breezy nonchalance of a modern online dating profile. Boozayaangool said it’s about two hours and was partly inspired by the brief meditative journey A Short Hike. — Ethan
