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.
