One roof, one row, one tile at a time
Roof by Roof is a calm, first-person game about tiling roofs. Take a stack of tiles from the yard, carry it up the ladder and lay it row by row, from the eaves to the ridge. Each tile settles onto the battens with a soft clack, and the roof slowly comes together under your hands. When it's done, take a moment: the view from up there is the reward.
What's in the job
- Real roofing, gently. Tiles overlap and stagger like a real roof, and simply won't snap where they don't belong.
- Out with the old. Break off worn tiles with a click and watch them slide off the edge.
- Finishing touches. Cap the ridge and the corners, and close the tiles up round chimneys and roof windows.
- Ladders and scaffolding. Hook a roof ladder over the ridge for steep slopes, or put up scaffold towers with their own tile stacks.
- Patterns that pay. Stripes, checkerboards, diamonds, fades and a few secrets: 76 roof challenges in all.
- Upgrades and rewards. Spend nails on a bigger load, quicker hands and boots for steeper roofs, and unlock hand-painted tiles.
- Career and Roofing Orders. Nine roofs that teach the trade, then endless orders with a design to follow, at Easy, Medium or Hard.
Somewhere lovely to work
A village in the fields, a quiet lakeside, a mountain valley or the cobbled streets of an old town, in any season. The day never stops: morning mist, golden hour, and a night of stars and street lamps.
At your own pace
Nothing fails and nobody falls. Play with keyboard and mouse or a gamepad, hide the HUD in photo mode, and turn on colour-blind colours, tile symbols, larger text or reduced motion. In 12 languages, with saves kept in Steam Cloud.
