"Overall, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Cleaning Up! will be the first game I turn to when I need to destress or take my mind off of things. The game knows that it’s a quick and charming game that doesn’t require much brainpower, and it takes full advantage of that. Whether you’re comfortable in bed or playing something on the bus, Cleaning Up! is an excellent way to pass the time. While Cleaning Up! doesn’t do anything new, it polishes everything it takes from games of the same genre to deliver something cozy and addictive. Because of this, I give the game the Thumb Culture Gold Award!"

About

Spirit Cleaning casts you as a housekeeper tasked with tidying up a suburban home that's anything but ordinary. Each room is a time capsule of bloody horror, filled with animated spirits trapped in their final moments. Gameplay alternates between slow, deliberate cleaning and sudden bursts of action as you navigate the residents' tragic pasts. The story unfolds through dialogue and fragmented memories, requiring you to piece together what happened while managing your cleaning tools and timing your moves carefully. The game’s blend of anime aesthetics and eerie atmosphere sets it apart. Since its 2021 release, it’s developed a niche following for its bold visuals and unconventional narrative structure. Players often note the contrast between mundane tasks and violent supernatural encounters, which creates a dissonant but compelling experience. With its short runtime and focus on visual storytelling, it’s a title that lingers in the memory for its style and unsettling tone.
