Lunar Code Studio Announces 3000 Dishes, A Medieval Dishwashing Sim
Lunar Code Studio is selling the chore itself as the whole game, with no time limit and no fail state named, which puts the project in the small line of indie sims that ask players to find the loop in repetitive manual work.

French studio Lunar Code Studio has announced 3000 Dishes, a simulation game about washing up. The player is the only dishwasher in a medieval-style kingdom and must clean and store 3000 dirty dishes left after a feast the king held. Dirt levels vary by dish and smelly ones need thorough rinsing. There is no time limit. The release date is undecided and the game does not support Japanese display.
Lunar Code Studio has opened a Steam store page for the project and posted about it on social media. The announced loop is narrow on purpose: pick up a dirty dish, carry it to the sink, scrub it with a sponge, rinse it, and put it away, 3000 times over. Dirt varies from dish to dish, and the smelly ones need a longer rinse. Nothing in the announcement sets a clock or a score. The release date is undecided, and the game does not support Japanese display, so a Japanese-language release is not part of the current plan. The studio is based in France.
