SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Feb. 23, 2025 – 5minlab Corp., in collaboration with Toge Productions, is set to release "Undusted: Letters from the Past," a unique and heartwarming cleaning simulator that delves into a family's past through meticulously restored objects. This game offers a serene and engaging experience, combining the satisfaction of ASMR with a compelling narrative.
A Unique Approach to Cleaning Games
Unlike traditional cleaning games that focus on large spaces, "Undusted: Letters from the Past" shifts the spotlight to individual items, each carrying a significant narrative weight. This approach allows players to uncover deeply personal stories and cherished memories as they meticulously clean and restore each object. Yoonjeong Choi, the game's director and former art director for "Kill The Crows," explains, "She has always wanted to create a game that could deliver the same type of “oddly satisfying” feeling found in ASMR and restoration videos." This vision led to the development of a short, satisfying demo, which ultimately laid the foundation for the full game.
A Heartfelt Story Unfolds
"Undusted: Letters from the Past" places players in the role of someone returning home after their mother's passing. As they clean and interact with various items, they are transported back to forgotten moments, offering a poignant reflection on life and family. "Unlike most cleaning games that focus on spaces, the developer 5minlab wanted to shift the focus to individual items, especially those with deep narrative significance. In this game, each item is intricately connected to the story and characters, offering a unique way to uncover the narrative," says a representative from 5minlab Corp. The game encourages players to cherish the small, often overlooked moments that shape our lives.
