PANELKI

PANELKI casts you as a utility worker in an endless Siberian city of panel houses, taking jobs from utility services to save up for a ticket that will let you leave for somewhere else. The open world is built from procedurally generated roads, houses, playgrounds, garages, and schools, and the panel houses themselves generate uniquely both outside and inside, with no two ever quite the same.

Snow handling is a real mechanic. Dig snowdrifts out of building entrances, clear cars and roofs, or just build a giant snow tower if the mood strikes. Different shovels let you move increasing amounts at once, and dynamic weather paired with a day/night cycle pushes you between blizzards, quiet snowfall, and the cold itself, which gradually freezes you if you stay outside too long.

Basements yield useful items like intercom keys, light bulbs, snowman carrots, and flashlights, and you can switch heating on inside them. A cinematic mode pauses the world for screenshots and pays you in-game money for completed-house photos, while online play lets friends clean entrances, swap light bulbs, scrub graffiti, and play snowballs together.
