• Rumu is a cleaning robot with a big heart and a bottomless dustbag - 22 December 2017

  Rumu felt very low-key at first. It's a game about being a sentient vacuum cleaner, a robot whose job is to trundle across floors dealing with little household accidents. But as the household AI Sabrina fills you in on more and more of the details beyond your tiny world, as you start to learn about your absent owners David and Cecily, a sense of guilt and dread builds up. Something's wrong here, and it's not the toast on the floor. Rumu might not have been on your radar, but it’s definitely worth checking out. This is the first feature-length title developed by Sydney studio Robot House,  one that caught our eye at PAX Australia this year . I checked in with gamerunner Ally McLean and game director Dane Maddams to ask them about the launch and their future plans. PC Gamer: How's it feel for both of you now that Rumu has finally released?   Ally McLea…

• Rumu, the sci-fi adventure starring a vacuum cleaner, releases next week - 6 December 2017

  Announced in October, Rumu is a point-and-click adventure starring a sentient vacuum cleaner, set in an eerily abandoned sci-fi Smart Home. If that's not a perfect elevator pitch, I don't know what is. There's also a cat in it. Oh, and it's releasing next week, on December 13. For a detailed rundown of what it's all about, I spoke with the game's lead designer at PAX in October (the game also ranked among the most promising we saw at that convention). But if you didn't read that or don't want to, Rumu stars a vacuum cleaner by that name, navigating an isometrically-viewed Smart Home "littered with semi-intelligent devices to hack into and get to know".  "When something draws you away from your home maintenance duties and into the hidden passageways and long forgotten rooms of the house, you’ll be faced with challenging moral dilemmas f…
