I don’t feel like I have had this demo in my Steam library for that long, but apparently, I have. School is starting to ramp up, and I have little time to play and talk about games. I am a fan of short games, and I am a fan of games about cleaning.

This week is Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter.

Wyrmhall is a cozy game from Leafy Games. The game was released on Steam in March and retails for $10.

Bimbly wants to take a vacation, but they can’t until they can trust someone enough to watch the place until they get back.

YOU ARE THAT SOMEONE.

The demo has you chatting with a goofy wizard guy who shows you your future, which involves working at the kiosk and cleaning people’s magical objects for a nominal fee.

This is where the onboarding happens. Fun, magical beings like robots, goblins, and wizards walk up and give you their magical object that needs cleaning, and you chit-chat about life and such, and then CLEAN. The good thing here is that cleaning does not have to be perfect. If you are getting a little tired of the game or the interaction, then clean the best you can, and everything will be fine, and usually it is.

Nothing complicated. Just clean the best you can.

You are armed with a cloth, a bag, and a brush to clean people’s magical stuff. The rag cleans up little swirly green stuff, the bag is for bugs and such, and the brush is for cleaning orange gunk. Click on the item to pick it up, and then click on the gunk to clean it off. It is all so very easy.

The kiosk in Wyrmhall is simple and unintrusive. The kiosk’s window is wide, with nothing obstructing the view is really nice because you can see all of the passersby’s with their torches, doing their day-to-day, which is fun and calming to watch. Flat colors really make it easy on the eyes, and the people who come up to the kiosk are all goofy in their own way. I really enjoy the look of Wyrmhall.

There is not too much to the dialogue. Bubbles pop up, and they usually have some goofy conversations that get a laugh out of me. I like that when I am cleaning something, a nice DING! signals the player that there is no more dirt and stuff on the object. I also like the clank of money hitting my tip jar; it makes me feel like I am doing a good job, though I don’t know if I can use used metal parts as currency in this world.

Wyrmhall: Brush and Banter demo was incredibly short, but it was super fun to play. The game is accessible because my wife was enjoying the demo as well. The 3 or 4 cleanings or so did not feel like it was bridging a gap into boredom. I’m always here for dad games, and I’m here for games that are accessible for everyone. The demo was great, and when I have free time, I will be buying the full game.
