You play as Rumu, a robot vacuum designed to clean and care for the family in a fully automated home. Guided and monitored by Sabrina, the house AI, Rumu begins to look beyond its routine duties.
Move through the home's rooms, clean up messes, inspect objects and notes, and interact with its semi-intelligent appliances and Ada the cat. Point-and-click puzzles help Rumu investigate areas and follow clues.
As Rumu explores, it learns about the household and faces questions that push it beyond its programming. The story follows its developing understanding of sentience, love, and the people who lived in the home.
Reviewers who enjoyed Rumu often point to its emotional story and the unusual perspective of a robot vacuum trying to understand its family. Some also praise Rumu's character, the household devices, the smart-home setting, and the voice performances. Several describe the puzzles and interactions as simple, while some specifically criticize the limited challenge; a few reviews report black-screen problems or broken achievements.
