Rumu

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.

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.

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.

this game got me in my feels. highly recommend.

A short, beautiful game, that clearly takes inspiration from Asimov (among other science fiction classics, quite literally quoted in-game), on the natural of artificial intelligence, what morals and emotions we may give or ascribe to them, and the potential ramifications of doing so. I'll never look at my Robo-vacuum, Daphne, in the same way ever again. Occasionally the interactions were clunky, but overall it was smooth and relaxing. I would definitely recommend, if you grab it on a sale , like I did.

Rumu is a delightful concept; you play as a sentient Roomba, who loves and cleans up messes. I think the overall story of the game is interesting, and the design of the game is pretty. However, I felt like there were a glaring number of small issues, that I personally don't feel I can give a recommendation to the game. The most frustrating for me was the fact that a number of the achievements were buggy or just plain broken. The game apparently hasn't had an update since 2018 (According to steam patch notes), and despite some promised bug fixes in the steam discussions, it appears those fixes haven't happened. It's really frustrating that not only are those achievements bugged, but that they haven't been fixed in so long. In addition, I felt like there were lots of small glitches, like quests not checking off, or reappearing after they'd been completed. The story of the game itself is still intact, and I think that while it can be bit of a slow story, the game itself is short, and I can appreciate the emotional impact of it. So if you don't mind a few bugs, and you're not an achievement hunter, the game may still be worth a look for you, but I personally came away feeling disappointed.

Interesting story told through a fun and short game about an automatic vacuum cleaner. Do your cleaning chores and explore a modern looking house as a little vacuum robot, while you figure out the truth about what whappened in this house. It's a very casual and relaxing game, with some simple but good visuals and puzzles.
