About This Game

Clean up the city

The city is a mess, and you're going to need more than a pair of gloves to fix it. Work your way through eleven districts, clearing bags, old furniture, broken appliances, and abandoned vehicles from alleys, streets, and the docks. Apparently taking things to the dump was too much to ask.

Start collecting, haul it away, and get paid. As you finish streets, buildings get their windows back, trees and planters appear, people return, and the smog starts to clear. You can actually see the difference your work makes.

Get some better equipment

You start with your hands, which is a fairly terrible long-term plan for an entire city.

Earn enough for a cart, move up to a pickup, and work toward heavier equipment, garbage trucks, and eventually your own recycling plant. Carry bigger loads, move heavy junk, and clear piles that would have taken ages when you started.

Some roads are blocked by rubbish your early equipment can't handle. You can explore every district from the beginning, but opening those routes will take something bigger.

Sort your loads

Separate plastic, metal, electronics, bulky waste, hazardous materials, general trash, and valuables into the right skips for full pay.

You can also unload a mixed load at the bay and take a smaller payout. It's your call whether the extra sorting is worth it. Either way, you're putting money toward your next upgrade.

Your work stays done

Cleared trash doesn't respawn. Finish a street and it stays clean. Leave a heavy pile for later and it'll be there when you return with equipment that can handle it.

The goal is to clean the whole city. When you finish, you can compare how it started with how you left it and see your final stats.

A few other things

  • Ten stages of equipment progression, from hand collection to a recycling plant.
  • Fleet paint customization.
  • An in-game radio to keep you company.
  • Day and night cycles and weather.
  • Full controller support and a colour-blind palette.

If the game crashes or runs badly, it sends an anonymous report to help us fix it. You can turn this off in Settings.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some 3D models were made with Meshy, and the radio songs, the radio hosts' voices and the trailer music with ElevenLabs, all from our own descriptions, lyrics and scripts, then selected and edited by the developer. The key art on the store capsules and library images was made with the help of AI image tools. Code was written with AI assistance. Nothing is generated while you play.
