About the Game

Robot Vacuum Cleaner Quest is an exploration adventure game. Reveal the house of Detectif Poirry as a robot vacuum cleaner, bump its inhabitants for stories, and clean your way to victory.

Features:

  • A family friendly sci-fi setting with only a small amount of existential horror.

  • Completely turn-based* with simple controls (directions plus on/off button).

  • Diegetically bad graphics delivered at an uncapped frame rate.

  • Various secrets of various presentation.

  • Helpful yet mysterious characters.

  • Mild to moderate puzzling.

  • Questing.

  • And a lot of music by Elektrobear.

*Not including optional win-condition.

This game is a reboot of a series of adventure games made in Bitsy. The Roomba Quest trilogy was a journey of self-discovery for a robot vacuum cleaner that became conscious, ending in a search for secrets at the end of the universe. The reboot doubles down on mystery with illusory walls and hidden exposition.

Like the Bitsy games that preceded it, Robot Vacuum Cleaner Quest straddles the "cozy" and "weird little guys" genres. Offering a range of relaxing activities and strange characters to talk at you, as opposed to the more traditional videogame fare of murder-maxxing. There will be a fair bit of reading involved, though if you've gotten this far through the description you'll probably be okay.
