5minlab Corp. and Toge Productions have announced that their cozy cleaning simulator, Undusted: Letters from the Past, will launch on Steam on October 13, 2025, followed by a Nintendo Switch release on October 16, 2025. The game blends the satisfying feel of cleaning vintage items with a heartfelt narrative about family, memory, and rediscovery.
Players step into the role of Adora, who returns to her childhood home after her mother’s passing as she dusts and restores long-forgotten mementos. Fragments of a buried past emerge, revealing the emotional threads that tie her story together.
More Than Just Cleaning
Unlike traditional cleaning simulators, Undusted: Letters from the Past connects its tactile gameplay directly to storytelling. Every scrub, brush, and polish not only restores an item to its former beauty but also uncovers pieces of Adora’s past.
Director and lead artist Yoonjeong Choi reflected on the game’s upcoming launch:
“We put a lot of effort into making every interaction, especially the sound design, deeply satisfying. If you play while paying attention to the sounds, I think you’ll enjoy it even more. And unlike other cleaning games, Undusted blends objects and narrative very closely together, so players who enjoy emotional storytelling will likely find it a meaningful experience.”
Features to Look Forward To
- Satisfying ASMR cleaning – Every brushstroke and wash is paired with calming sound and visual design.
- Charming lo-fi art style – A mix of 2D and 3D visuals with warm, vibrant colors.
- Emotional storytelling – Each object unveils forgotten memories, building a meaningful narrative as you play.
A Heartfelt Launch Ahead
With its blend of cozy gameplay and emotional storytelling, Undusted: Letters from the Past aims to provide players with both comfort and reflection. Fans of restoration videos, ASMR, or narrative-driven indies may want to wishlist the game ahead of its October launch.
Undusted: Letters from the Past releases on Steam on October 13, 2025, and Nintendo Switch on October 16, 2025.
