Under the Rug

The inspection is in one minute and your place is a disaster. There's no time to actually clean, so you do the next best thing: shove everything under the blanket and hope it looks flat.

Every item you stash makes a lump. Pile things on top of each other and you get one big, obvious bulge that gives the whole thing away. Spread them out and the floor looks almost normal. That's the game. You're not tidying, you're hiding, and the trick is keeping the bumps low before the inspector walks in and runs their eye across the rug.

It doesn't help that your roommate won't stop making more mess. New junk keeps landing while you're mid-cleanup, so you're always a step behind. You can slam the door on them to buy a few seconds of quiet, but it needs a moment to recover before you can do it again, so pick your timing.

Three rooms, each messier than the last. Clear them all before the day ends and you might even earn a few stars for style.

How to Play

• Drag a piece of mess onto the blanket to hide it.
• Spread things out. Keep the lumps low. If one gets too tall it turns red, and that's the spot the inspector will notice.
• Drag a lump on the blanket to pull that item back out and move it somewhere flatter.
• Click the door to shut your roommate out and stop new mess for a few seconds. It recharges before you can use it again.
• Spacebar calls the inspector early, once everything's hidden and flat. Nail it and you pass. Get caught and it's back to square one.
• R restarts the room. Esc goes to the menu.
• Top-right buttons toggle the sound and switch how hidden items are drawn (outlines, blobs, or just the shadow).
