Squeaky Clean 2022

Squeaky Clean is a solo deck-cycling strategy game about laundering more than just clothes.

You play as a scrappy upstart in the grime-stained criminal underworld, running a laundromat that’s a little too good at cleaning dirty money. Across eight rounds, you’ll draw from a deck filled with resources, crimes, cops (the Fuzz), and opportunities to upgrade your laundering operation. Spend crew, stash cash, avoid heat, and rotate, flip, and repurpose your deck’s cards to your advantage. But watch out—if the Fuzz catches you with too much heat, you’ll lose your gains. Balance risk and reward, and upgrade your laundromat to Level 3 before time runs out to win.

Gameplay unfolds through clever deck manipulation: each card is multi-use, offering choices that ripple through future turns. The more crimes you commit, the more you must time your laundering cycles and bribe the cops—or gamble on pulling the right “thumbs up” card to avoid disaster. Optional difficulty settings and campaign-style progression offer varied challenges, from “Disorganized Crime” to full-blown “Queenpin” status.

Think of it as a gritty noir puzzle dressed up in dish gloves and moral ambiguity. A little dirty. A little brilliant. Very, very fun.
