About The Cleaner


Play as a mysterious trauma cleaner as he faces the end of society as we know it, brought to its knees by a new and unknown phenomenon that has no cure.
Having given up on most things, every day feels to him like the same sluggish chore of waking up, cleaning, going to sleep and repeating.
That is, until he receives a request like none other from a man he barely knows.


- A thrilling story to discover and unravel as you progress
- 5 cleanable locations
- 6 mini-games for cleaning
- A chill, high-quality lo-fi soundtrack
- (Steam version only) An exclusive artbook that comes with the game

Playtime: A few hours

This looks like an interesting story game *for people who are looking for a story game*. The descriptions just says cleaning game. This is not a cleaning game. You are very rarely allowed to interact with the environment and it's very frustrating when you are. The story looks okay and I love the option to have a maximized window instead of a preset size, but this is not the cleaning game with some lore that was advertised. I wouldn't refund it if the store page description was accurate about what broad general content players can expect.

HOLYYY THIS IS SUCH AN UNDERRATED PEAKKK WHATTT holy moly amazing world building and plot buildup mane I genuinely love the character development of the mc as the time progressed. WOWOW OKAY yes I love torturing myself with more mxm angst everyday. this is literally worth more than $1... I can't believe that there are even some animated scenes inside the game IF ONLYYYY FATE WAS KINDER, omg they're literally my fav "maybe in another life..." troupe. PLEASE do try this game out it really deserves the love, this is such a hidden gem that I found completely by accident WAHHH

By gameplay it's a VN with mini tasks, which is exactly what I'd been looking for since finishing the To The Moon series - The story itself is heartbreakingly sweet. Absolutely loved it.

a beautiful sadness, this is a very sweet yet heartbreaking love story and is worth the time to play

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
