Reviews
I enjoyed the story and the visuals, which is why it's difficult to give this game a negative review. Unfortunately the achievements have been broken since 2018 and the dev has still failed to fix them, which is a massive deal breaker for me, especially since the dev has promised to fix them for several years. You have to get them through the developer console, despite having completed all of the requirements in the game. This is not my only gripe though. The controls are clunky as all heck and it's a pain to play on both mouse/kb and controller and there were a few times when I met a bug that forced me to completely redo a whole section of the game. It does run well on the Steam Deck, in fact it ran better on the Steam Deck than it did on my PC. Overall the story is okay, Rumu is cute, but I can't recommend a game that the dev has seemingly abandoned with several bugs.
I love the idea of Rumu, unfortunately the game crashed shortly after I got started and every time I tried to launch it after that it was just a black screen with pleasant music. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game, restarting my computer, deleting all files from my computer, etc. but nothing worked. It looks like this has been a problem since at least 2021.

I really wish I could actually play the game. After Multiple tries of uninstalling and re installing. Verifying the files. Wiping the cloud data. The game will not load past the splash screens after I have only played through the first day. I can't even reach the menu to tweak the settings
Do not buy this game, the devs aren't supporting it and it has a game breaking bug where shortly after launch the screen goes completely black and the cursor starts ghosting, rending the game completely unplayable. Simply a waste of money, which is a shame, because the game was fun when it worked.
This game made me want to get a Roomba and put googly eyes on it. Sadly, my house is unfit for a Roomba at this moment, but once I move elsewhere, Rumu is coming. Fun game, great story. Less enthusiastic about the OST, but that's fine because by the end, you'll love Rumu, I'm sure.
[h1][b]「僕はRumu。お掃除が大好き。だって、それが愛する家族のためだから」[/b][/h1] [h1]ストーリー[/h1] ある朝、スマートホームの中で目覚めた一台の小さなお掃除ロボット。それがあなた、Rumuです。 「おはよう、Rumu」 家の管理AIであるサブリナの声に導かれ、Rumuは今日も家中のゴミを吸い込み、汚れを拭き取ります。 ご主人様のデイビッドとセシリー、そして猫のAda。 大好きな家族が散らかした跡を綺麗にすること。それがRumuの使命であり、Rumuにとっての「愛」の表現なのです。 [h1]概要[/h1] お掃除ロボットになってスマートホームを綺麗にする、見下ろし型のナラティブ・アドベンチャー。 プレイヤーはRumuを操作し、カーペットに落ちた食べかすや、こぼれたコーヒーを掃除しながら、家のあちこちに隠されたメモやオブジェクトを調べ、この家に住む家族の物語を紐解いていくことになる。 戦闘もゲームオーバーも存在せず、あるのは「掃除」と、純粋無垢な電子頭脳による「観察」のみとなっている。 [h1]感想[/h1] 全人類が抱きしめたくなる、世界で一番ピュアで健気なロボットがここにいる。 とにかく、主人公のRumuが愛おしくてたまらない。 Rumuの思考はとてもシンプルなのだ。 「掃除=LOVE」。 床に落ちた靴下を見つめて「ご主人様のものだ!」と喜んだり、ちょっと意地悪な猫のAdaにちょっかいを出されても「遊んでくれてるの?」とポジティブに捉えたり。その無垢なつぶやきや、ウィーンと走り回って一生懸命に汚れを吸い取る姿を見ているだけで、胸がキュンとさせられる。 しかし、このゲームはただ可愛いだけではない。 Rumuはその純粋な瞳(カメラ)を通して、少しずつ家族が抱える悩みや秘密を知ることになる。「愛ってなに?」「悲しいってなに?」 プログラムされたAIが、掃除を通して人間の感情に触れようとする姿は、映画『ウォーリー(WALL-E)』のような優しさと切なさに満ちており、エンディングを迎える頃には、きっと誰もがRumuのことを大好きになっているはずだ。 [h1]評価[/h1] 【GOOD】 ・主人公Rumuのキャラクター造形が完璧。無機質なはずのロボット掃除機に、これほど感情移入させられるとは。 ・スマートホーム家電たち(無愛想なトースターや、おしゃべりな照明など)との会話がユーモラスでとても可愛い。 ・「掃除」という行為を通して家族のドラマを語る手法が秀逸で、後半の展開は涙なしでは見られないほどエモーショナル。 ・美しいピアノのBGMと、心温まるビジュアルデザイン。 【BAD】 ・移動速度が(お掃除ロボットなので)ゆっくりであり、キビキビとした操作感を求める人には少しもどかしいかもしれない。 ・プレイ時間は2~3時間ほどと短く、物語を楽しむことに特化しているため、複雑なパズルやゲーム性を重視すると物足りない。
I'm not going to drive that inefficient thing around to clean-up 99 messes. I expected some story behind this.
this game got me in my feels. highly recommend.
I recall really loving this game back in 2019 when I played it. It's a cute, fairly quick game. Wouldn't expect an epic story out of it, but certainly I found it enjoyable, especially in a more quirky way. Mostly would suggest trying to grab it on a sale, and while I would say the game is worth it, especially at a sale price, I'm ultimately writing this review for its problems. • Three of the achievements are busted. If you're a completionist, I wouldn't suggest this game unless you're willing to force the achievements using console commands. • The game can fail to run, from what I understand, because of cloud data. Worked on my original laptop, but wouldn't run on my new one. Eventually found a thread about this and they said it was the cloud data. Wiped it, reinstalled the game, and it worked. If you buy this game make sure it works for you soon enough to give yourself a refund if it fails to run. For new players this shouldn't be an issue, but it's good to check. While this game was certainly worth it for me at its price point, it /does/ have its issues that by this point is probably safe to say it will never be resolved, and I felt that it ought to be known prior to purchase.
