Evaluation

CleanFall entered Early Access on August 8, 2025 and remains in that phase. The developer — a solo developer operating as Humanyoyo — has maintained a very active update cadence since launch, shipping four major content updates: the "Legion and Energy Update Part 1" on September 29, 2025; "Legion and Energy Update Part 2" on December 18, 2025; the "Endless Jungle Update" on March 9, 2026; and the "War Machine Update" on August 6, 2026. That's four major updates across roughly 12 months, with the most recent arriving just three weeks before today's date. The War Machine Update — released August 6, 2026 — is described as the biggest CleanFall update yet, featuring a complete ship-building overhaul, a reworked Summoner class, new biome redesigns, a new Bestiary, 22 new items, tripled alchemy recipes, and over 50 refinements and bug fixes. Critically, the update's conclusion explicitly states: "Chapter 3 is still in development, but it's hard to say how much longer it needs to be ready. That being said, I'm quite excited with how it's looking now. There are some pretty wild things in the works." This is a direct developer statement confirming that significant content remains ahead. The store page displays a 1.0 roadmap, and earlier communications (October 27, 2025 and March 9, 2026) showed early footage and music for Chapter 3's Ion Biome. The December 18, 2025 development post also described plans for a "true ending" with story reveals, new mini biomes, and additional mechanics. The game has a free demo that the developer has announced will remain available indefinitely. The developer is highly communicative, consistently active, and has clearly articulated that the game's full scope — including Chapter 3 and a true ending — is not yet complete.

FEATURES

  • Dynamic Ecosystem – Enter a ravenous ecosystem teeming with exotic creatures, and learn to exploit their habits.

  • Ship-Building Mechanics: Create and customize powerful warships to traverse challenging environments.

  • Alchemic Turret System – Employ a vast array of defensive turrets during your journey, where combining them creates everything from drone factories to mortars.

  • Vast Item System – Discover and purchase useful items from an ever evolving selection. Resources vary from game to game, forcing ingenuity and craft, and not a little stress.

  • Harvest – Mysterious flora grow among the rock of the underground world. Harvest and collect resources, utilizing their peculiar effects against the denizens of the deep.

  • Character Perk System – Ascend from a standardized cleaning bot to a metal maid of unparalleled destruction. Discover perks to increase speed, energy usage, turret strength, structural durability, mining speed, and many more.

  • Procedurally Generated Open World – No two games are the same. Everything from spawning nests, to exotic biomes, to harvestable resources, to item choices, to character meetings, to special events, carefully shift to create extraordinary scenarios where wit and strategy are perpetually challenged.

  • A Rich, Unfolding Narrative – With each run, the story unfolds anew, providing greater and greater insight into the strange happenings of the apocalyptic past and the enigmatic developments of the present. You’ll unearth more than the mysteries of the deep. You’ll uncover a plot two centuries in the making.

Story

You are a small, unassuming cleaning bot that desires nothing more than a neat and tidy home. But ever since the planet was dragged closer to the sun by a monomaniacal tech nerd, dust and death swirl across the surface, making for a very messy situation.

If your house will ever be clean again, you need to fix the world. A clean world means a clean house.

So, fix the world.
Simple.

All you have to do is descend to the planet’s core, overcome the monomaniacal tech nerd’s wily schemes, and reorder the planet, all the while battling through the unimaginable horrors of the deep.



Oh, and one more thing: all you start with is a modified vacuum sweeper.

Happy cleaning!
