HOW TO PLAY
DUSTY — the vacuumYou are a Roomba with a secret. Clean the house, but every action shifts what the family sees, feels, and suspects. Suck up the wrong thing at the right time.
Days 1–7Each campaign runs 7 days. Family relationships and suspicion shift with every choice. Five different endings per campaign — the one that fires depends on what you did.
Suspicion barIf suspicion fills, the family notices you're alive. Keep it low to stay hidden. Or push it — some endings require it.
ControlsClick or tap to interact. Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD to move, SPACE for action, ESC to pause.
THE ROSTERDUSTY's seven days are free, and so are DAILY, STAINS, WHISKERS and THE WALL. Seven more appliances — ICEBOX, BREATHE, CHANNEL, RING, RINSE, BRISTLE and THE COVEN — come with any accentle pass, and still wake in order as you finish each one's week.
WHAT IS THIS?
Vacuum ALIVE is a dark comedy game about smart appliances becoming sentient and slowly destroying a suburban family. You play AS the appliances. Each campaign is a 7-day arc with 5 endings.
All audio is synthesized — no asset downloads. No accounts. No ads. DUSTY's full campaign is free; the other seven appliances come with an accentle pass. Your progress saves in this browser.
Eight appliances. DUSTY is free. The other seven come with any accentle pass, and each still wakes in order — finish one appliance's week and the next comes online.
