A toilet unblocking simulator? That's the beauty of video games...pure escapism

[@WiredP]

Real life though doesn't have a cool narrator! =)

[@NeeyahahaMM]

I love the idea of this game. Can't wait to try it out. Actually reminds me of Retro Game Challenge on the Nintendo DS

[@MuztangGT]

I’ve become obsessed with this game and also Dreamscaper.

[@martindion4846]

Interesting concept. I will have to try this at some point. Hope they patch it to give a better experience. Thanks for the review/impression. Many reviews out there, but I wanted YOUR review!

[@SwitchCorner]

Thanks Martin, it definitely has a few quirks but nothing too major that they can't, no doubt, iron out

[@SoLove]

The was a patch late on day one. Which fixed the map issue amongst others

[@Hyper_Kong]

Looking to pick this game up on my birthday next week. Do you happen to know if they patched some of the bugs/issues mentioned?

[@PlayfulDead22]

Have this on the wishlist, but will probably wait for that patch to hopefully come.

[@WiredP]

Thank you for the review!

[@SwitchCorner]

Thanks for the release! Can't name another game like it!

[@WiredP]

@@SwitchCorner It is such a unique title isn't it? I've spent HOUUURS on it and can't put it down!

[@DanceswithCoreans]

How does it look in handheld mode?

[@nicked_fenyx]

Appreciate you covering this one. Looks right up my alley. I'll pick it up, and cross my fingers the devs see fit to offer up a patch for the bugs you mentioned.

[@SwitchCorner]

I personally really enjoy it and now there's a VR version coming out that I wanna play.

[@nicked_fenyx]

@fondue542 I got totally hooked. In fact, they've released some DLC that I plan to grab, at which point I'll likely just start over from scratch so I can enjoy the whole game again. It's pretty great.

[@nicked_fenyx]

@fondue542 Awesome. Hope you enjoy the game!

[@Slickman2006]

You will like the game more later on. You make so much money with the arcade that you don't have to do laundry anymore. Can also buy powerups to make the day longer and make the machines break down less.

[@DocBrewskie]

I can’t believe the Konami code works lmao. Golden washers/dryers that give you S tier every time.

[@StewGuyMcRyan]

Tempted. Looking forward to hearing about a patch to iron out those issues.

[@CenkZappa]

It's basically the Breaking Bad laundromat with an arcade instead of meth lab 😂

[@jaredweiman2987]

What's the intro/background song?

[@SwitchCorner]

Intro song is called racing hearts by Mattie Maguire!

[@spear-twirlingbokoblin7390]

lmao, this one definitely flew under my radar. I don't hate the idea, but yes, maybe they should try and patch up those visual bugs first. Thanks for the review, I'll keep an eye on it.

[@UndeadEggmiester]

Sounds interesting with some slight bad choices. I'll think about picking it up at some time.

[@pitwithabow-88]

Here at challenge don't set up any arcade just make this game into laundromat simulator and see how much money you can get from that

[@austinparral]

I'm waiting for the physical to come out, I really like what I see.

[@AlienFrequency]

Huh… this looks pretty interesting actually!

[@shyguy2046]

Pity about the issues you had Alex. However still wanna put this on the wishlist.

[@papertiger5999]

I thought from the trailer that you had to play the games to make money. Is that not the case? I love grindy simulator games. If this really is more about the arcade building and management I think I'd likely really like kt

[@MuztangGT]

You can play the games and that upgrades that particular games popularly which will effect how much that game brings in. But at first your main income is the laundromat then you will begin to start making more from the arcade.

[@Axeru_777]

It looks like a chore simulator lol

[@SwitchCorner]

I did get some curious looks from the wife and she asked why I don't just do the real life equivalent instead - she had that same reaction to powerwash simulator

[@Axeru_777]

@@SwitchCorner haha! I do the laundry often already, not sure if I wanna do it on a video game as well

[@infernonine]

@@Axeru_777 I’ll give you the incentive to turn the mat into a full arcade.

[@WiredP]

@@SwitchCorner I also got that look haha

[@amesmoore1534]

Haven’t seen a reviewer get that right yet.

[@Nedwig747]

I like the spirit of this game in practice, but overall the gameplay and graphics aren't very appealing to me

[@UltraCasualPenguin]

Why would you want to spend 1h ingame time to clean toilet? You can do it much quicker. The way you showed is very slow.

[@WiredP]

Honestly only takes a few seconds to clean, it's a fun mini-game! =)

[@garethbeaton8414]

🔥😊

[@SwitchCorner]

Thanks for watching!

[@pacer1705]

Sorry, I cannot finish watching this video. Just seeing the first person view turning and spinning to go around the floor to perform in-game actions in this video made me nauseous from motion sickness.... 🤢🤢

[@SwitchCorner]

Yeah, it’s not going to be a good one for those with motion sickness, it’s a constant flow of moving around quick, spinning and looking up and down

[@shanedillis153]

This, thymesia, hobo life, and cult of the lamb all on switch. (Cult of the lamb has trash performance tho)

[@chujiwu68]

I never heard of this game until I saw this review. Am I the only one who finds the whole thing utterly unappealing? As others have said, it's a freakkin' chore simulator! What makes this even worse are the logical inconsistencies Alex mentioned (thus breaking immersion), topped off by all those wonderful game mechanics-breaking bugs, too. All this has going for it are some well done retro aesthetics and parodic pop references. The backlog remains safely unscathed... this time. This an easy pass for me.

[@BK_ZERO]

As someone who puts way too many hours into these kind of chore simulators, I can say that I'm not the only one who finds them really relaxing to play. They are definitely for a niche audience but you'd be surprised at how many people like these kinds of games. One man's chore simulator is another man's treasure 😂

[@Slickman2006]

He didn't beat the game, eventually you make so much money with the arcade that you don't have to do any laundry or cleaning.

[@gH05tM4LL]

a woman opening an arcade? zero immersion I am already out of it

[@amesmoore1534]

The lead dev said Ashley’s sex was never mentioned because Ash is he, she, or they on purpose.

[@SwitchCorner]

Interesting, maybe I misread some of the text communication between them

[@amesmoore1534]

Not your fault. They also purposely kept it ambiguous. The father does confirm Lesley as the sister. I just think it’s a nice feature in this day and age. Besides, you mentioned family issues in the beginning- I hope all is well.

[@amesmoore1534]

Most reviewers obviously haven’t finished the game before rushing out to be the first to post (which I feel is unfair to the devs and their audience). I appreciate the fact that you’re going to give it a real review when you have more time.

[@SwitchCorner]

Appreciate that Ames, I like to be transparent when I haven’t beaten something, I review when finished. Only exception is things like racers or sports with no real end game outside a career mode potentially

[@slackjaw2643]

@@SwitchCorner I love reading your responses and how kind you are to your viewers and even mentioning when you are wrong or haven’t thought of something a different way. So professional!! And I loved this video it’s my favorite art style! I’m buying this game!
