1. Game Overview & Basic Info

Cash Cleaner Simulator, developed by Mind Control Games, is a simulation game like no other. Released on May 9, 2025 for PC via Steam, this title will also be heading to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S later in Q4 2025. At first glance, it might look like another cleaning sim, but don’t be fooled this game doesn’t deal in brooms and buckets. Instead, it dives deep into the underworld, inviting players to clean “dirty money” in the most literal and metaphorical ways possible.

The launch price is ₩15,250, currently discounted to ₩13,720 on Steam, making it an affordable dive into a disturbingly fascinating world.



2. Key Features That Stand Out

What makes Cash Cleaner Simulator unique is its core gameplay loop each mission involves a delivery from the underworld: cash-packed bags, blood-stained boxes, or counterfeit-infested mattresses. Your job? Identify the mess, sort it, clean it, and make the money usable again.

Beyond the cleaning mechanics, players can:

  • Order new tools to improve efficiency

  • Expand operations by unlocking new rooms and devices

  • Decorate their base of operations to their taste

  • Discover hidden secrets in the underground lab

There’s also a progressive upgrade system. Players unlock more sophisticated equipment as they build trust within the criminal network. The balance between “doing just enough” and “doing it perfectly” becomes a game of its own.



3. Storyline & Worldbuilding

Cash Cleaner Simulator may wear the skin of a light simulation, but underneath lies a surprisingly deep and cryptic narrative. You start as a low-level cleaner someone who just handles the physical aspect of laundering cash. But quickly, questions arise.

Why were you chosen for this job?
What exactly is this “lab” you keep hearing about?
Why does every shipment feel like a puzzle hiding more than just blood and dust?

There’s a dark, dystopian undercurrent as you begin to piece together the larger picture one that involves not just money, but manipulation, experimentation, and irreversible choices. The story builds quietly, through objects, upgrades, and missions that reveal more than meets the eye.



4. Visual Style & Sound Design

This game opts for a surreal and slightly grimy visual aesthetic. Instead of photorealism, it leans into a stylized, moody presentation that complements the tone. Dust particles float in shafts of dirty light. Items are rendered with just enough detail to make you wonder what they've been through.

The environments especially the lab evoke an eerie feeling, almost like you’re trespassing where you shouldn’t. Every blood smear and fingerprint feels intentional.

Sound-wise, Cash Cleaner Simulator uses ambient background noise and minimalistic sound cues to heighten immersion. The hum of fluorescent lights, the metallic clink of tools, or the sudden buzz of a new “client” message all create an atmosphere that’s unsettling yet addictive.



5. Gameplay & Mechanics

At its heart, Cash Cleaner Simulator is about repetitive tasks but in a good way. Each new contract is a test of observation and routine mastery. You’ll start by:

  • Receiving and opening shipments

  • Inspecting them for blood, counterfeit marks, hidden codes

  • Using tools (brushes, chemicals, scanners) to clean and validate the money

  • Sending reports to clients, getting graded, and receiving payouts

The downtime between contracts can be used to:

  • Upgrade tools (better scanners, faster scrubbers)

  • Expand to new cleaning zones

  • Customize your workspace with decor or comfort items

  • Access the mysterious lab and unravel side plots

There’s no traditional combat, but the “fight” lies in moral ambiguity and narrative tension. As jobs get darker and the items stranger, you'll start to question: Is this really just about cleaning money?



6. Pre-Order & Console Release

The game is now available for purchase on Steam for PC, with a 10% launch discount.

7. Final Thoughts & What to Expect

Cash Cleaner Simulator is a fresh, dark, and weirdly engaging experience. It challenges players not just with tasks, but with ideas how far would you go to do your job? Would you ignore the blood on the bills if the pay was good enough? Would you explore the lab, knowing it might reveal more than you want to know?

This game is not about flashy mechanics or fast-paced action. It’s a slow burn, filled with subtle tension, detailed progression, and a story that sneaks up on you.

If you’re tired of traditional sims and want something offbeat, eerie, and conceptually bold this is it.

Would you clean a suitcase full of blood-soaked cash if the price was right?
What do you think awaits inside that lab?
