Is Vacuum Story worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players drawn to stories observed from an everyday household object’s perspective
- Fans of casual adventures who prefer passive observation over directing a family’s actions
- Players interested in a cleaning routine as the framework for a family story
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking frequent direct interaction with the family may find the vacuum’s passive role limiting.
- Those looking for varied objectives beyond household cleaning may find the routine narrow.
- Players who want long stretches of play without charging may find the roughly five-minute battery cycle restrictive.
Our take on Vacuum Story
Instead of placing the player in the role of a family member or active storyteller, Vacuum Story frames the adventure around a vacuum that observes events while following its cleaning routine. The family’s life is encountered indirectly through the machine’s sensors.
What is Vacuum Story?
Vacuum Story is a graphic adventure in which the player controls a vacuum cleaner whose task is to clean a family’s home.
Its regular cleaning routine brings it into contact with the family’s day-to-day events, which it observes through its sensors and experiences passively. The game includes a real-time map, suction, and a battery that lasts about five minutes per charge cycle. Rather than taking an active role in the family’s events, the vacuum follows its cleaning routine as life unfolds around it.
How Vacuum Story plays
- 01Real-time map
- A live map accompanies the vacuum as it moves through the home.
- 02Short battery cycle
- The battery lasts about five minutes before it needs another charge.
- 03Suction
- The vacuum can suction as part of its cleaning task.
