The game is a cleaning simulation where players scrub carpets with brushes, rinse the resulting foam, and let it drain. Each rinse earns money that can be spent on equipment upgrades, creating a loop. But a meteor is approaching the city. After a certain amount of time, the meteor destroys the city and resets all progress. The player's goal is to wash carpets efficiently, earn enough money, and buy equipment to stop the meteor before time runs out. The full game is scheduled for release in 2026. It will also participate in the Steam Next Fest event in June.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Carpet Washing Game's demo builds its loop around a hard reset.
