Muri: Wildwoods Demo Preview | A Relaxing Cleaning Adventure
Cleaning games have exploded in popularity and I am not immune to the dopamine hit of seeing something or someplace once covered in dirt now sparkling clean. Speldosa Interactive’s newest game Muri: Wildwoods provides that same satisfaction and then some. Between the gameplay and the art style, I didn’t want the demo to end.
Muri: Wildwoods is a cute cleaning game where I take the role of a cleaner, named Pelle, equipped with a power washer and supported by my friends on Teamsqueak. I begin Pelle’s first solo mission, to clean a mysterious island of the corruption that's destroying its ecosystem. Landing on the island, the beach covered in corruption, I start my mission. As I washed the last bit of the deep red goop, suddenly nature took over, and the game's art style showed itself as the area bloomed with fantastic flowers and fields of grass. Seeing the world come back to life because of my actions hit differently than the usual “bing” that comes with completely cleaning an item. What made it even better was that the next area had these cute creatures that needed to be cleaned, and once they were, I got to pet them!
My favorite thing about Muri: Wildwoods demo was its approach to collectables. Throughout my journey as Pelle, after cleaning certain things or interacting with the freshly cleaned critters, Pelle would draw them in their sketch book. Yes, you can technically finish a level without cleaning every area of corruption, but then you would miss out on a lot of cute drawings. Once I cleared the corruption and saw nature bring the beauty back to this world, on my way to the next corrupted area was a seat for me. Instead of a time-lapse showing the corruption disappearing, I get to sit and enjoy the scenery and noises of this freshly cleaned part of the island. For me, this was the game telling me to stop and smell the roses. I’m here to bring nature back, so why shouldn’t I get to sit and enjoy what it has to offer?
Muri: Wildwoods demo is available currently on Steam. While there is no release date yet, you can wishlist the game like I did to stay up to date on future updates.

Granny challenges you to explore a creepy mansion filled with creaky floorboards, hidden traps, and locked doors that block your path at every turn. Every step you take could alert the old woman to your location, so you have to move carefully and think before you act. The house feels like a living prison designed to keep you trapped forever.
The bit about Pelle sketching collectibles in their notebook really stood out to me — it's such a cozy touch that makes the cleaning feel more like exploration than just a chore. I love that the game rewards you for paying attention to the little details rather than just blasting everything with the power washer. Speaking of satisfying little rewards, I've been hooked on the krillion unlimited game lately for that same reason — it's all about the small daily wins and feeling clever when you piece things together. Definitely adding Muri to my wishlist for when I need a break from trivia brain.
What a delightful preview of Muri! While the relaxing vibe is appealing, I wonder how incorporating a slope 2 feature could elevate the gameplay. Imagine tackling cleaning tasks in exciting time-limited bursts! What do you think?
Muri: Wildwoods adds a warm and peaceful feeling to cleaning games. Watching the world come back to life as it is cleaned and interacting with cute creatures looks genuinely enjoyable. I also have fun playing basketball legends 2020, which is quite different from this setting. Games that combine exploration, collecting, and relaxation are especially enjoyable on busy days.
