Perhaps it’s the additional structure or the allure of clear-cut rewards like achievements or time scores.
Some games even center a narrative around the task of cleaning.
Mopping the floors has never felt so profound.
Perhaps some intense cleaning?
Here are the best games that let us simulate jobs.
16A Little To The Left
Sometimes your typical cleaning game isn’t enough to scratch the itch.
That’s where A Little To The Left comes into play.
It’s a fun concept, albeit short-lived.
It may sound like a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun.
Here you get your own cutout street in a small Japanese-inspired town.
you could build, decorate, and spruce up the street from top to bottom.
Put on your favorite summer playlist and relax.
13Tavern Manager Simulator
For a lot of sims, cleaning is only part of the fun.
12Lawn Mowing Simulator
Lawn Mowing Simulator fits neatly into a category of weirdly satisfying games.
Much like PowerWash Simulator, you could easily spend hours mastering the art of mowing in perfect rows.
Or, if you are craving a little chaos, you could try your hand at crafting crop circles.
The world is your yard.
There are even different mowers to pick from, for extra replayability of course.
Dystopias are the opposite of utopias: they are grungy, messy, and dangerous.
These games present dark glimpses into possible futures for humanity.
Rather than handle a powerwasher, Fresh Start gives players a unique cleaning machine: a water hose/vacuum hybrid.
Players must clean ecosystems, water plants, and feed animals on their journey.
In addition, each Fresh Start level includes hidden puzzles that take advantage of the cleaning machine’s mechanics.
So, you’ll get some Portal-Esque brain-teaser action as well!
8Wilmot’s Warehouse
What you want is a highly satisfying yet simple organizational game.
Well, it does not get any more simplified than Wilmot’s Warehouse.
You are a tiny little square operating a massive and rather dark warehouse.
How you organize all your little patterned boxes is entirely up to you.
you’ve got the option to even play with a friend in co-op!
