What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to develop A Game About Cleaning a River with feedback from players. Early Access will help us refine the river-cleaning gameplay, progression and overall experience while we work on additional content.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect Early Access to last around one to two months. This is an estimate, and the timing may change depending on development progress and player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to expand the selection of tools and add new maps. We are also considering cooperative play, but it is not available in the current version and is not guaranteed. The scope of these plans may change during development.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version offers single-player river cleaning, collecting and selling rubbish, tool progression and local saves. Cooperative play, Steam achievements, Steam Cloud and gamepad support are not currently available. Please base your purchase on the features available now.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to increase the price when the full version is released.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We welcome player feedback, bug reports and suggestions throughout Early Access. We will use this feedback to help prioritize fixes and improvements.”

About This Game

A Game About Cleaning a River is a relaxing cleanup and progression game about restoring polluted waterways one piece of trash at a time. Explore heavily contaminated rivers, collect everything from plastic bottles and cans to tires, crates, and other discarded junk, then turn what you recover into resources for better equipment.

As you clean each area, the river gradually becomes a healthier and more pleasant place. Clear the water, improve the surroundings, expand your collection of tools, and watch neglected environments slowly come back to life.

Clean Up the River

Travel through polluted stretches of water and remove the trash floating on the surface, stuck near the banks, or hidden among larger piles of debris. Different types of waste may require different tools and approaches.

Sort and Sell What You Collect

Not everything you find is useless. Sort collected waste into different categories and sell recyclable materials to earn money. The more you clean, the more resources you can recover and turn into profit.

Upgrade Your Tools

Improve your equipment to work faster and reach more difficult pieces of trash. Increase efficiency, capacity, reach, and other useful characteristics as you progress through dirtier and more challenging areas.

Buy New Equipment

Use the money you earn to purchase new cleanup tools and unlock new ways to deal with pollution. Better equipment allows you to handle larger objects, collect waste more efficiently, and access new parts of the river.

Craft Useful Tools

Combine recovered materials and resources to craft additional equipment for your cleanup work. Turn the things you find into something useful and gradually build a better set of tools.

Watch the World Change

Your work has a visible effect on the environment. Trash disappears, the water becomes cleaner, and previously neglected areas begin to feel alive again.

Collect. Sell. Upgrade. Repeat.

Make all rivers great again!
