About PANELKI

In childhood parents told you that you would become a janitor in future, but you did not live up to their expectations and became a top manager? Even if not, in this game you will be able to play the role of utility worker.

Carry out various assignments from utility services, get money for it and enjoy the atmosphere of the Siberian city. Your task is to save up for a ticket to leave the city and start a new life.

Open world:

You enter the endless open world of the city of panel houses. It consists a lot of procedurally generated objects: roads, houses, playgrounds, garages, schools and other structures. The main feature of the Sibreain city are panel houses, uniquely generated both outside and inside. No house is like any other.

Snow digging:

In Panelki you can interact with snow. Dig snowdrifts in the entrances, cars, clean the roofs of houses or just build a giant snow tower. With the help of different shovels you will be able to dig more and more snow.

Weather and time of day:

The Panelki world has dynamic weather and day/night cycle. Full immersion in weather conditions: from a heavy blizzard at night to a quiet snowfall at noon. If you stay in the cold for a long time, the player starts to freeze. You can warm up in the indoors.

Items:

Come into the basement. There you will find useful items such as shovels, intercom keys, light bulbs, snowman carrots, a flashlight, or other things. You can turn on heating in the basements.

Cinematic mode:

In Panelki you can stop anytime and anywhere, turn on the camera and capture the harsh view of the Siberian city. Due to a lot of image settings, you can give the picture any mood. You will also need a camera in the game: if you have completed all the actions in the house, you can take a photo of it from the outside and get some in-game money for the picture.

Online game:

Clean the entrances, screw in light bulbs, erase graffiti, play snowballs with a friend! The main thing is not to lose sight of each other.Join our discord server (in the links section of the game's Steam store page).* all screenshots are taken with in game cinematic mode.

9.5/10 [EN] This game is not about the gameplay. It's about feelings and emotions. Ppl from outside the CIS just don't get it. A small, unnoticed person amid silent and cold concrete giants, quietly doing his small but useful and important work. Really loved the ending and ability to make a choice. On my first playthrough, I chose to stay - because personally, if I were him, I probably wouldn't be able to adapt to a different life and would suffer a lot. Especially atmospheric in "skyscrapers" mode [hr][/hr] [RU] Игра не про геймплей. Это про чувства и эмоции. Люди не из СНГ не понимают. Маленький незаметный человек посреди молчаливых холодных бетонных гигантов. Тихо делает свою небольшую, но полезную и важную работу. Очень порадовала концовка и возможность выбора. При первом прохождении я выбрал остаться, потому что лично я бы на его месте скорее всего не смог бы адаптироваться к другой жизни и сильно страдал. Особенно атмосферный режим "гигахрущевок" (небоскрёбы). https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3764992304

PANELKI is a flat-out boring experience that gets old incredibly fast. The gameplay is entirely tedious and repetitive, offering very little substance or actual variety to hold your attention. Without meaningful progression or upgrades to work toward, you are just left doing the same tiring chores over and over in a game that has far too little content to justify the grind.

Sometimes the simplest games are the most addictive. I didn't expect Panelki to keep me hooked for as long as it did, but once I started playing, it was hard to stop. It's easy to learn, satisfying to play, and has that "just one more round" feeling that makes time fly by. What I liked the most is how accessible it is. You can jump in immediately without needing to learn complicated mechanics, yet there's still enough challenge to keep you improving. Every session feels rewarding, and it's the kind of game you can enjoy whether you have five minutes or a few hours. Why you should play it: 🎮 Easy to learn but surprisingly addictive. 🧠 Fun gameplay that keeps you coming back. ⚡ Great for both quick sessions and longer playtimes. 🎯 Simple mechanics with satisfying progression. 💰 Definitely worth trying if you enjoy indie games. Not every game needs massive graphics or a huge budget to be fun. Panelki proves that a simple idea, executed well, can be incredibly enjoyable. If you're looking for an underrated indie game that's easy to get into and difficult to put down, I'd definitely recommend giving it a chance. Rating: 9/10 – A hidden gem that's more addictive…

Very annoying and slow to play. You can't alter any settings in game, so you have to save and exit to adjust your mouse sensativity, load in to check it, then load back out if you want to adjust it. It doesn't explain mechanics at all, features bad translation, and feels extremely aimless. The menu interface is thematic but extremely obtuse; while trying to get a game world made it kept shoving me out into the Steam overlay page for it's DLC. It did it like half a dozen times before it stopped doing it and allowed me to fumble through the UI to create a game. I only paid $1.29 for this and I'll still be refunding it, it does not deserve to be played or payed for.

Since I live in a panel house, I can totally feel the atmosphere, especially in winter. I remember when I first opened the game, it was snowing in real life that day, so that made the game even more atmospheric. The tasks are not difficult but time-consuming, especially cleaning the roof. It is recommended to find the larger shovel to make it as easy as possible. I don't recommend electrical work, but even the game doesn't recommend it, so whoever plays it will see. I RECOMMEND TO MY FRIEND, PATRON!
