The Cleaner is a journey of a small bird named Taki through a living, hand-drawn world of nature in search of food. Solve puzzles and uncover clues hidden in sounds and details. A paper world where levels are living beings, and the story unfolds through observation and interaction with nature.
The Cleaner — an atmospheric adventure about a little bird named Taki, where simple steps lead through complex natural puzzles.
The journey begins
Hungry, Taki sets off in search of food. In this world, every day starts with basic needs and small decisions. But even the most ordinary path is full of encounters. Someone seems dangerous, someone seems strange, someone is too big and incomprehensible.
A toothy crocodile, a stubborn antelope, a silent whale, an unpredictable zebra, a lurking snake — each animal lives by its own rhythm and rules. Taki learns not to fight, but to observe. Not to dominate, but to understand.
The idea for the game came from careful observation of real animals. Nature does not explain itself with words — it simply exists. And within that existence lie all stories. One only needs to pause and look closely.
Sometimes the hardest path is learning to understand the world around you.
The Cleaner is a family-friendly game with no heroes or villains. There is no violence or confrontation — only curiosity, choice, and gentle progress. By helping Taki navigate everyday challenges, players discover a living world — fragile, complex, and surprisingly harmonious.
The journey is divided into separate scenes, each becoming a self-contained story and a new way to interact with the environment. New mechanics and collectible elements not only diversify gameplay — they reflect the experience and growth that Taki accumulates along her journey.
Sound is a key part of the gameplay.
Many puzzles, clues, and interactions are based on the sounds of the environment and the voices of real animals. We recommend playing with headphones to fully immerse yourself and catch subtle audio details.
This is a story where understanding begins with observation, growth begins with care, and every journey begins with the simple desire to live.
