Strange Neighbours and Problems Await in the Landlord’s Legacy
Keeping an old apartment building running is already a challenge, but what if your tenants come with secrets of their own? The Landlord’s Legacy, an upcoming cozy management simulator from solo developer Erdener Gönenç, has officially opened its Steam page, allowing interested players to wishlist the game ahead of its planned Early Access launch in Q3 2027 on Windows PC.
Set in a rundown five-storey apartment building called Whitmore House in New York’s East Village, the game puts players in charge of a property that desperately needs some attention. With just one year to turn things around and save the building from a property developer, players must manage the apartments while getting to know the people living inside them.
However, keeping the tenants happy won’t be as straightforward as collecting rent. Each resident has their own personality, problems, and expectations. These include a night-shift nurse looking for some peace and quiet, a former jazz saxophonist struggling to find work, an architecture student curious about the building’s history, and a paranormal podcaster who brings plenty of unusual questions.
Players can also use the building’s old computer and its Who’s Talking feature to monitor conversations and concerns spreading between apartments. From mysterious knocking at 3 a.m. to flickering lights, not every strange occurrence has a supernatural explanation. Sometimes, being a good landlord means investigating problems before they turn into bigger headaches.
With its unusual mix of apartment management, quirky tenants, and everyday mysteries, The Landlord’s Legacy looks like a cozy sim with plenty of personality. Now that its Steam page is live, players can add it to their wishlists and keep an eye on its development.
