That process immediately starts when you enter a new location. Everywhere begins as a mess. The woodblock is filthy. The parquet is busted. And the windows? Lord have mercy. Cleanup is mandatory before the furniture even appears, and Hozy strikes a nice balance between the onerous monotony of House Flipper 2's cleaning process (where you must pick up every individual piece of trash) and PowerWash Simulator's single-minded focus on jets of water. You scoop up garbage in a swirl of debris and fly it through the air until it reaches the trash can, where it crashes with a satisfying cardboard clunk. A mop swishes lithely around the room with a simple drag of the mouse, leaving trails of clean floor behind with every squelch. The second location is a personal favorite, though. Here, you rip out old flooring using a crowbar, with an animation that pauses just long enough to suggest tension and effort, before dropping new planks down in a thunky parquet shower.
