Steam reviews
What players say
Players mostly find this short, cozy cleaning game relaxing and charming, though many feel it is too brief and repetitive.
Most reviewers recommend the game and describe it as a calm, easy way to unwind. Many players enjoy the satisfying loop of clearing cluttered rooms, the lo-fi soundtrack, and the cats who appear to show where items belong. Some like the short minigames between levels, such as sorting, gardening or assembling items, and the tool upgrades that make cleaning faster. The main complaints are that the game is short, around three hours, and that levels and dirt types repeat a lot, with several players hoping for more content. Some report fiddly controls, objects that are hard to place or spills and cobwebs that are hard to see, and a few mention a camera that does not reach everything. Recent reviews are more positive and focus on cuteness and calm, while older helpful reviews raise the repetition and length more often.
Praised
- Relaxing, cozy atmosphere

Many players - Cats and cute art style
Reviewers praise the adorable cats, the cute cat-led hints and the colourful art style.
Many players - Short minigames between levels
Players like the minigames between levels, such as sorting, gardening and assembling items, as a welcome change of pace.
Some players
Criticised
- Too short for the price
Players say the game takes two to four hours and wish for more levels or content, especially given the price.
Many players - Repetitive levels and items
Reviewers feel the levels, rooms and items repeat too often and little new is introduced as the game goes on.
Many players - Fiddly controls and placement
Players find items hard to place and spills or small objects hard to clean, and say the controls feel imprecise at times.
Some players - Hard-to-see dirt and objects
Reviewers say cobwebs, trash and spills blend into the background or hide behind furniture, making levels frustrating.
Some players
- Who it suits
- Suits players who want a short, calm game to unwind with, who enjoy cleaning and organising and who are happy with light repetition.
- Who should skip it
- Players who want challenge, story, depth or a long game should skip it, and it is best bought on sale.
Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to find the game repetitive and want more content, while quick finishers mostly praise its calm, short length.
