The Architect Life demo offers players the chance to discover the game's potential by providing 2 plots from the "Free Mode" among the 60 available at launch. The construction tools available in this demo allow aspiring architects to express their creativity. Many furniture pieces and decorations are also unlocked to create home staging that will enhance their project. When the game releases on June 5, it will include the "Career Mode," through which players can unlock skills with each completed project, allowing them to access increasingly ambitious constructions and unlock materials and decorative elements for an infinite number of creations.
In the demo, “Free Mode” offers 3 different ways to play according to preferences:
Call for Tenders: Players challenge themselves by completing the planned mission on the plot under career conditions. For each plot, they must ensure they follow the specifications provided, the delivery date, and the budget to satisfy their clients.
Free Build: A true sandbox where players are only limited by their imagination. They can build freely on their chosen plot without any constraints.
Inspiration: Players can revisit their previous projects to perfect them.

About Architect Life: A House Design Simulator:
Architect Life is the first game to simulate the profession of architect. It offers great replayability through 2 main game modes: “Free Mode” lets players build the houses of their dreams, with or without constraints. “Career Mode" offers 60 varied missions and the chance to progress from project to project, unlocking new skills and materials that can be used in more ambitious future projects. Site management will also be an important step in ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery. Thanks to Shine Research's technical expertise, the team has made it a point of pride to ensure that the game is just as easy to control with a gamepad as with keyboard/mouse, so that everyone can become an architect in their own way.
