What Did We Play Yesterday?

I have a lot going on right now, so I decided to chill with a cleaning game. This cleaning game looks nice. Hmmm. This vacuum mechanic seems awfully familiar. As well as this music. And the way the trash looks...

Surprise! This was made by the No Place Like Home devs. They basically took the most satisfying parts of that game, which is the cleaning loop, and made a game that focuses entirely on that. Personally, they are different enough for me. Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator focuses on cleaning the environment and growing plants and being a generally chill experience, and in NPLH you're running around fighting spider robots and dealing with whatever the heck is going on with the farm mechanics and the jank is on full display.
