About the Game

It’s another soul crushingly mundane day at the office, but you’ve been secretly programmed to change that.

Take control of Sanitron TC-84, the world's most overqualified robot vacuum cleaner, as you make your way through the offices of conglomerate Omega Global. Balance your janitorial chores with the often supernatural needs of your coworkers, and pull at the mystery of your own existence.

A charming satirical puzzle adventure about being at the bottom of the org chart, and somehow being the only one with the power to change anything.

Game features

  • Cleaning 

    • Make the office shine through satisfying cleaning gameplay involving both traditional cleaning mechanics and physics based fun. 

    • Deal with tasks given to you by the company as well as taking your own sanitary initiative.

  • Upgrades

    • Get rewarded for doing a good job.

    • Spend your tokens to upgrade your capabilities and progress through the office. 

  • Explore the building

    • Make your way through the charmingly oppressive floors of the Omega Global offices.

    • Each area offers its own unique flavor and challenges, both mundane and absurd.

  • Meet your coworkers

    • You have many human (and some not so human) coworkers, all of them with their own problems to solve. 

    • Get involved in their lives by listening in and manipulating the environment around them.

  • Disregard authority

    • Be a bad little bot who disregards company instructions, makes its own little choices and perhaps even causes hilarious mayhem. If you, for some baffling reason, wanted to, who’s to say you shouldn’t.
