About the game
You work as a goblin cleaner in a dungeon after adventurers leave blood, broken furniture and scattered remains behind. You mop with living slimes, feed waste to a mimic, return objects to their places and reset traps. Some creatures still live there, and your cleaning tools can be dangerous too. A careless step can leave another body for the group to clear away.
Up to four players share the work online. You can split rooms and jobs, help each other find missing objects, or accidentally put a friend in danger. Levels have extra challenges to revisit, while experience, cosmetics and runes give you reasons to return. Ordinary cleaning leaves time to chat, but hazards and puzzles interrupt the routine.
