Demo Now Available: “YUME ROOF” – A Quiet Japanese Rooftop Experience Now on Steam
Solo indie developer Rivi announces that the Steam store page for YUME ROOF, a gentle rooftop experience set in Japan, is now live.
Rather than focusing on goals or progression, YUME ROOF offers players a small, peaceful place to slow down.
Set on the rooftop of a Japanese multi-tenant building and crafted in warm voxel art, the game invites players to arrange furniture and plants freely, watch time pass from day to night, and simply spend time in the space.
YUME ROOF is not about winning or optimizing.
It is about being.
There are no objectives, no pressure, and no correct way to play.
Players are given a quiet rooftop in Japan and the freedom to shape it at their own pace.
Furniture, plants, and everyday items can be placed freely without grid restrictions, allowing subtle adjustments that gently change the atmosphere of the space.
As time passes, sunlight shifts, plants sway in the wind, and sometimes a cat wanders by.
For players who enjoy creating and observing rather than managing systems, YUME ROOF offers a calm, personal sanctuary.
A Creative Mode is also included, where all items are available from the start and the time of day can be freely adjusted.
