The SWEEP DEMO is officially live today! The DEMO includes the content of the first dungeon level. As a small-scale game, the entire SWEEP DEMO takes about 20 minutes to complete (if you can finish it in one go).
If you encounter any bugs during gameplay or have any feedback about the game, I warmly welcome you to leave a comment in the STEAM discussion forum.
The DEMO is expected to go offline in March when the full game is released. In the meantime, we will make improvements based on player feedback (if we receive any). Finally, we hope you have fun playing!
We’ve been working lately on polishing up your cleaning experience, and we’re excited to share the latest improvements in this patch! Your feedback has been very valuable, and we’ve addressed several key issues to ensure a smoother and more enjoyable journey across all maps.
Localization Fixes: Fixed mismatched fonts in some localizations for a consistent and polished in-game text experience.
Completion Enhancements: Improved the ability to achieve 100% completion on all maps—no more sneaky spots!
UI Adjustments: Fixed buttons being obscured during cutscenes, ensuring full accessibility.
Map Improvements: Fixed the bridge on the Forest map for better navigation. Adjusted animal positions on the Forest map for a more natural and engaging environment. Corrected the placement of misplaced trash piles across maps.
Audio Upgrades: Enhanced cat sound effects to make your furry companions more lifelike.
Building Enhancements: Improved the appearance of tents during structure building for a more satisfying visual experience.
Material Fixes: Fixed material issues in the Asian-themed scene for a more cohesive look.
Scanner Update: Fixed scanner functionality on the African map to help you clean up with precision.

Loading Bar Visibility: Improved the visibility of loading bars for better progress tracking.
Thank you for your continued support and feedback—it’s what helps us make Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator even better!
"Dustborn is perhaps 2024’s most misunderstood game. Upon its release in August, an unfortunate barrage of online criticisms quickly usurped any opportunity for meaningful discourse about it. But having actually played the game, we wholeheartedly believe that its twisting story and vibrant world are worth experiencing."
This description from GLAAD, featured in their list of standout titles from 2024, is an affirmation of what the development team set out to achieve. Dustborn is a heartfelt story about inclusion and diversity in a world that often feels hostile to those ideals.
"Being nominated for a GLAAD Media Award means so much to me, both as a creator and as a gay man," writes Christoffer Grav, Senior Art Director at Red Thread Games. "With Dustborn, we set out to celebrate diversity and give a voice to those who often feel unseen. This recognition is a reminder of why representation in media matters and inspires me to keep telling stories that make a difference."
We are incredibly honoured and grateful for the nomination, and proud to be in such inspiring company.
Spawning System Fix We have resolved issues related to player respawns, improving the positioning logic to prevent spawn-kills and unfair respawn points.
AI Intelligence The AI is now more responsive and strategic. Enemies will analyze the environment better and adopt more advanced tactics, making battles more engaging.
Weapon Improvement We've adjusted weapon balancing, enhancing accuracy, feedback, and the effectiveness of certain categories to ensure a better combat experience.
Update the game now and experience the new improvements!
I’ve cooked up something special – 20 NEW PIZZAS are making their way to Peyter Town! From cheesy classics to spicy specials, you are going to have a blast delivering them all while they're hot!
Feature Development
Restaurants now have a placeholder for the orders that are being prepared at the moment and a separate one for the orders that are ready to be picked up.
If an order waits to be picked up for more than x (where x is determined by how patient the customer is and/or when the restaurant closes for the day), it automatically expires and you get a bad rating.
If your backpack is full, you can now cancel active orders and free up your backpack (and lose money and rating points, including any bonus streaks or tiers you have activated in the app).
Cleanup
Added more lights in the streets of Peyter Town City Center
Cleaned up repetitive restaurant buildings
Fixed the broken elevator logic where you would be elevated to floors that did not exist in that building

Our intelligence department has observed that some divers have been encountering issues. Rolling out significant updates is always a complex process, and while we pride ourselves on having a top-tier testing department, even the best teams can occasionally miss something.
