It's very chill and kind of relaxing for a while. And then it slowly hits me, that none of this really matters does it? You buy upgrades so clicking doesn't take so long, so your stream goes a little farther, so you can use some soap that goes really fast, so you can click, and keep clicking, and slowly reveal things that look sorta nicer, but in the end its all just static.

There's sometimes some very nice environmental storytelling, mixed with clients explaining the personal details of the items you're cleaning.

But unlike the process of restoration, your actions are not intimate. You are held afar with a nozzle and a rubber suit and you blast away until the thing that was under all the muck is back to normal. But there is a lack of granularity here which slowly feels monotonous and dreadful. You wish you could run your hands over the now pristine classic car, that you could carefully inspect or articulate the parts of the bicycle, but you may not.

You are cut off from the world, alone with nothing but the cleansing power of your nozzle, in a world where other people are nothing more than text messages on your phone.

The thing this game simulates is how it feels to be stuck behind a computer.
