You wake in a confined room where washing dishes earns points needed to get by. A cryptic story unfolds as you work toward escape.
Take an elevator into procedurally generated depths to search for dishes and other loot, carry your finds back, and avoid hostile anomalies.
Spend your earnings on room upgrades and furnishings, build simple dishwashing automation, and manage food and water through farming and fishing. Scrap can be used for research upgrades.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its unusual dishwashing-and-dungeon loop, finding the contrast between routine chores, base progression, and tense horror exploration engaging and sometimes funny. Room upgrades and experimenting with light automation also stand out as appealing parts of the experience.
