"After an exhausting day, housework is often the last thing I feel like doing.
But I sometimes relax by playing video games where you tidy and arrange
household items in living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms.
In a game, domestic tasks can be exciting. Like the indie success
Untitled
Goose Game and the blockbuster series
The Sims, the games I’m thinking of
position the completion of mundane tasks as entertainment and art.
Here are four inventive Australian video games where players perform household
tasks that, in real life, are often repetitive or unpleasant. But in games
these activities can be entertaining and relaxing."
I’ve played and enjoyed
Rumu and
Unpacking.
Share and enjoy,
