Sabrina is a little like GLaDOS from Portal 2 and Rumu is a little like Wall-E. The puzzles are simple but fun and the sound design is excellent. The game is short, sweet, and to the point, never overstaying its welcome. His journey is a path to sentience and understanding that mirrored my journey as I unraveled Sabrina’s mysterious motivations and an absent family. Sabrina and Rumu are more than just appliances and Rumu is more than just a vacuum cleaner. It’s a sad and well-written story I won’t spoil. The messes Sabrina asks Rumu to clean get stranger and, as more rooms open to Rumu, I rooted through the drawers and journals of the seemingly missing family. The messes aren’t consistent with normal human lives either, and the only organic lives are the cat, the plants, and the bugs. The AI tells you they’ve gone out mountain biking on a day when it’s clearly storming, for example. She’s not joking and it’s an early sign things aren’t what they seem and that Sabrina isn’t quite right.Īlso, the humans never seem to be around Sabrina always makes excuses for them that don’t make sense. Sabrina, it turns out, is upset the house cat, Ada Lovelace, is constantly causing messes, and the AI suggests filling the air vents with poison gas to take care of the problem once and for all.

Things begin normally as Rumu cleans some spilled tea and hoovers up bugs in the home’s kitchen, before the game takes an abrupt turn toward the dark and strange. The messes Sabrina tasks Rumu with cleaning get stranger.
