The Steam store page for Haunted Cleaner, a cleaning simulation game where players tidy the homes of deceased people and help lingering ghosts move on, went live on June 1. The game is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2027. A gameplay video was also released on YouTube.
The protagonist, Jones, is a 59-year-old veteran cleaner who has been hearing spirits' voices for over 35 years. Working as a 'medium cleaner' in Germany, he cleans the homes and related places of the dead, helping unsettled souls resolve unfinished business. The game also follows Jones' own journey as his retirement approaches.
Players explore stages including cluttered bedrooms, street-corner shops, living rooms buried in time, and neglected gardens. By cleaning and uncovering what connects the ghosts to the living world, they can help lost souls find peace. The developer, HeadKino Games, is a Berlin-based team of two: artist Joy and programmer Philipp.
