The Rug Racket now has a Steam page
This is the first proper look at The Rug Racket. The store page just went live, so if this is the first time you are seeing the game, consider this the introduction.
What it is
Inherit a rundown rug-cleaning shop and master a satisfying craft. Dust, wash, rinse and revive rugs one stain at a time.
A deep, tactile cleaning craft. 5 stages, real fiber/colorfast/heat rules, a point-of-no-return for the careless.
A dark-comedy mob story across three acts, with a buyout win and multiple ways to fold.
Push-your-luck special jobs: The Flood (mold) and The Stash (don't overclean).
Build a business: customers, reputation, upgrades, events, and legendary moments.
Restoration mode for the truly wrecked rugs.
What it looks like
More screenshots and the trailer are on the store page.
Where development is right now
Development is at the stage where the game works and now has to feel right. The systems are all in and playable start to finish; what's left is art, UI and animation polish — the difference between a shop that functions and a shop you believe someone actually works in.
Come along for it
Wishlist and follow to be part of development. Following the page is what puts these updates in front of you as they happen, and wishlists are what decide how visible the game is at launch.
