The game has potential to be good, but falls flat after several minutes of gameplay. There is no story, there is no reasoning as to why baby screams are coming from a washing machine, other than what you can infer. The ghost just isn't scary, it's one arm-bend away from t-posing at you and the game is so easy that you'll never have to encounter it's awful chase mechanic. Speaking of the gameplay, there's no ending, you just return to work and deal with one extra washing machine during your shift. Things you can improve - actual ghost animations and variations - an ending - some story

Not the best, but somewhere in the middle. The sounds are great, the presentation and physics are good, but the ghost isn't animated. Could be improved and maybe with some achievements and a bit more of a story or plot worked into it there is a half decent game here.

Rating: Testicle-Ripping, Grandma-Peeing Boredom/10 This game is not just bad; it’s so profoundly boring that it taps into a new realm of frustration and existential rage. This is a game that makes you wish for the sweet release of any distraction, to the point where ripping out your own testicles and peeing on your grandma seems like a reasonable alternative just to feel something again. The gameplay is a repetitive cycle of laundry chores: load, rinse, repeat...with no end in sight. Each cycle stretches into eternity, trapping you in a loop that seems designed to make you question your choices in life and everything else you’ve ever held dear. By the third load, you’ll be willing to do just about anything for even a hint of excitement. If you’ve ever wanted to experience boredom so intense it drives you to unthinkable acts, WashCycle Simulator is the game for you.

I always wondered what would happen if the ghost of an aborted baby would posses a washing machine and this game answered that question. There is no story but who needs one with this riveting game play. As soon as I turned off this game. I did a load of laundry and was disappointed my washing machine didn't have a baby in it.

lowkey worth the 2.99 its a game to past by time just for the fun of it the art style is really cool remind me of a retro type look to it. i over all recommend this to anyone who wants to spend the 2.99 on a game just for the fun of it.

The game has turned out really great! If you miss the washing machine cycles, it can be quite terrifying! The attention to detail and the immersive experience really make it stand out.
