Panelka is a relaxing game that allows us to arrange post-Soviet apartments and garages, the decor of which may also evoke associations with the era of the Polish People's Republic. The game was developed by the independent studio MonsterAttack, which has a portfolio of thematically and genre-wise diverse projects, such as Setteeh or Alaa-Mogus Must Die.

Gameplay

Panelka offers us apartments with various layouts - we can find both characteristic "Khrushchev" flats and apartment blocks commonly referred to as "large slabs". After choosing one of them, we have nothing left to do but arrange it according to our own liking.
