Solo developer Erdener Gönenç has launched a wishlist page for a management simulator set in a rundown New York apartment building.
Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Board Games
Developer Erdener Gönenç opened the Steam page for The Landlord's Legacy, a cozy management simulator set in Whitmore House, a rundown five-storey apartment building in New York's East Village. Players have one year to save the building from a property developer.
Why it matters
The page lets players wishlist the game ahead of its planned launch, giving the solo-developed title early visibility. It offers a look at a building-management genre centered on the lives of its residents rather than on construction alone.
The Steam page for The Landlord's Legacy was opened on November 11, 2026, and the game is planned for Early Access on Windows PC in Q3 2027. The extraction does not give pricing or wishlist counts, and the launch timing is a projection rather than a confirmed date.
The players
Erdener Gönenç
Erdener Gönenç is the solo developer behind The Landlord's Legacy and opened its Steam page.
The details
Set in Whitmore House, the game has players manage apartments while getting to know residents including a night-shift nurse, a former jazz saxophonist, an architecture student, and a paranormal podcaster. An old building computer with a Who's Talking feature lets players follow conversations and concerns spreading between apartments, while mysterious knocking at 3 a.m. and flickering lights add a supernatural element.
Timeline
November 11, 2026: Steam page opened for The Landlord's Legacy.
Q3 2027: Planned Early Access launch on Windows PC.
Culture Shift
The game follows the Steam Early Access model, in which solo developers build wishlists and release unfinished games to players before full launch. Its focus on a building's residents rather than its construction connects to a wider appetite for cozy, character-driven management games.
Players who wishlist the game on Steam will be notified when it reaches Early Access, which is planned for Q3 2027 on Windows PC. The extraction does not confirm pricing or whether the game will reach other platforms.
The takeaway
Small, solo-developed games can build an audience early by using the Steam wishlist before a release date is confirmed. Readers interested in the game should watch its wishlist page for launch details.
What happens next
The planned Early Access launch on Windows PC is scheduled for Q3 2027, which is a projected rather than confirmed date.
