Odd Object—a new studio founded by Stevie Hryciw (The Indie Game Legend 3D, Catacomb Kids) and veteran animator and roguelike developer Tyriq Plummer (Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda, Catacomb Kids, UFO 50)—has announced “roguelike clean ’em up” game Scrubbin’ Trubble. It will launch for PC via Steam in 2025.
Here is an overview of the game, via Odd Object:
About
Scrubbin’ Trubble is a roguelike clean ’em up. Crush grime-ridden enemies on your own or in cooperative play for up to four players in this turn-based game inspired by the look and feel of action RPGs and hack-and-slash brawlers, where the cleaning and fighting seem to never end!
You can’t clean without getting down and dirty in Scrubbin’ Trubble! Choose from a variety of RPG-inspired classes, each with a unique way to tackle the grime, including Bubbaladin, an absorbent close-range attacker; Bleacher, a long-range stain-cleaning sniper; Washbuckler, who damages and pushes back enemies with a splash, and more! You’ll also find a variety of useful equipment and single-use items that can help turn the tide of combat.
Scrub your way through each randomized floor of The House, cleaning up filth-fueled baddies lurking in the muck. As you descend through the floors, you’ll earn high scores and upgrade your characters based on how well you perform. Reach the end of your run to take on one of the Four Filths of the Apocalypse, but beware: if your whole party gets wiped out, it’s game over, and you’ll have to start all over from the beginning!
