01 / THE GUIDE
Play at Your Own Pace
The game is designed without timed input, allowing you to start, pause and save whenever you wish. This lets you focus on each cleaning task without pressure, exploring the details of the mess at leisure.
Because it is a single‑player experience, you control the entire session yourself. The ability to save anytime means long cleaning sessions can be broken into smaller chunks without losing progress.
- Use the save‑anywhere feature to split lengthy jobs into manageable segments.
- Take advantage of the untimed design to examine each location’s story before cleaning.
