If you’ve ever played dungeon crawlers or any other game that utilizes a dungeon system, then perhaps you’ve wondered how they’re reset. Surely it’s by magic, right? Or does someone actually have to go in and physically clean up the place? In Goblin Cleanup, that’s exactly what happens, and it’s your job! You play as a professional cleaner who is hired by a dungeon master to clean up and reset dungeons. Even better is you can play this game alone, or with up to three of your friends, too.
Play as a goblin maid alongside other goblins as you make your way through the dark, treacherous dungeons. Use the various fantastical tools that Goblin Cleanup offers, too.
Like the Slimop to soak up messy spills on the floor, and the mimic or slime dispenser tool to clean up the blood from other surfaces. Restore broken objects and return them to their places. Then, reset traps, restore loot boxes, and respawn creatures that have been dispatched. Everything needs to be in its exact place so the next adventure party can have a great time!
Release Date, Kickstarter and Demo!
So, if you enjoy the cleaning simulators that are out there, perhaps give this one a try! Goblin Cleanup will release on Steam sometime next year. You can also head on over to their Kickstarter campaign to support the development of the game and unlock some fun rewards.
These include a custom boombox that will play your favorite music while you clean, hardcore mode, and a few more tiers that haven’t had details revealed.
Already unlocked are third person view, custom employee rooms, photo mode, a pirate-themed dungeon, and Egyptian-themed dungeon, rune system, emotes, and cinematic intro!

Remember the charm and beauty of the 2D Pokemon games? They were some of my favorites growing up, and the ones I return to when I want to replay a Pokemon game. And in recent years, there have been some great Pokemon-like creature collectors to come from indie developers like Coromon and Cassette Beasts. Now, there’s Fay Keeper (from developer Blue Gravity Games, creator of Little Sim World), an enchanting addition to the genre!
Step into the beautiful world of The Faylands, a kingdom full of ancient magic and fantastic creatures called Fays. You play as the Keeper and you have the unique ability to capture, train, and evolve Fays! So, set out on a nostalgic, but extraordinary adventure to master the art of Fay Keeping. Even conquer all the Colosseums and become the champion of The Faylands!
As you traverse gorgeous lands of Fay Keeper, discover and collect over a hundred different Fays. Each creature possesses unique abilities for you to utilize, and will become stronger with training. They’ll help you face other wild Fays so you can collect them, and you can even engage in a dynamic battle system against other Keepers with them. In each battle, you’ll need to manage your Fay’s energy, life, and status effects in order to come out victorious. Utilize your own status effects, weather, and elemental types for best results, too. Ultramorph your Fays into stronger versions of themselves during battle, and unleash Overcharge moves to really pack a punch and become the champion!
Release Date
So, if you’ve been looking to return to that nostalgic 2D creature collector style, but with a fresh new face, this game is worth a Wishlist! Fay Keeper is planning to release on Steam, though there is no release date set just yet.
