Players earn money scrubbing carpets and upgrading equipment, but a meteor resets progress. Permanent upgrades carry over between loops. A demo is available now with over 21,000 downloads.","whyItMatters":"The game combines a mundane cleaning loop with a roguelite-style reset system, a structure that has proven popular in the incremental genre and that the developer has already validated with strong demo engagement.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eIndependent developer daimaGAME will release Carpet Washing Game on Steam on July 13, 2026. The incremental cleaning sim has players scrub carpets with brushes, rinse them, and squeegee water into drains to earn money. That money buys upgrades that improve work efficiency and reward speed. A giant meteor periodically falls, rewinding time and resetting most progress. Two upgrade tracks split the risk: permanent upgrades survive the reset, while loop upgrades are lost but offer stronger effects. The key resource decisions revolve around carpets washed and money earned from bubbles. A demo has been available since an earlier release window, and five updates have improved controls and performance. The demo has drawn over 21,000 downloads and more than 13,000 wishlist registrations. The full version adds special upgrade elements and tool-changing mechanics that the developer is keeping secret until launch. The game costs 700 yen, with a 20 percent launch discount planned.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Carpet Washing Game, an incremental cleaning sim where a meteor resets your progress but permanent upgrades carry over, hits Steam on July 13.
