Rat, what's the game about? Please tell us
Duster Buster is a Pixel-art rogue-lite adventure blending horror and humor. Players take on the role as a cleaner hired to clean a big, run-down mansion filled with furniture-monsters.
The game’s quirky take on both combat, character-building, and cleaning, along with a lighthearted story, makes it approachable for casual players interested in a fun experience with a sometimes hardcore genre, while still somewhat challenging for advanced fans of the genre.
As the player unravels the secrets of the mansion, guided by their rat-merchant sidekick, they get to choose a build that works for them, adding a layer of replayability.

Hey Cleaner what can't we do?
Even though we - just like our cleaner - pride ourselves for being thorough, there might be some tricky bugs hiding. Regardless, we wanted to share this little gem as a reminder of one of our first “bigger” prototypes with you rather than hiding it away in a dusty drawer.
We hope that you enjoy this small spark of our imagination, creativity and skills, while we continue our journey as devs.
