Clean. Possess. Control. Hoarder begins as a mundane cleaning simulator that spirals into a distant nightmare. Scavenge the hoarders’ house, recover what should be forgotten, and if you go far enough, you might reach the top of the pyramid or the bottom of the abyss.

Navigate the eerie hoarders' house, recovering forgotten items and uncovering dark secrets. Will you reach the pyramid's peak or fall into its abyss?
About this game
To hoard is to possess, to possess is to control. What hope do you have in controlling the truth? An atmospheric, genre-blending adventure that starts as a mundane cleaning simulator which spirals into a submerged nightmare. Pilot a submarine to salvage the abyss by day and uncover the secrets of your new home by night
FROM CHORES TO COSMIC HORROR
The goal is simple: declutter a house abandoned by a hoarder. Start with the comfortable hand-holding of a job simulator: checklists, quest markers and clear goals. But beneath the trash lies a basement that defies geometry. As you descend, the game strips away this support system. No one is coming to save you.
THE ABYSS IS CALLING
Navigate a vessel through a deep sea floor. Use a variety of navigational tools to explore an area where light cannot pass through. Return to your base and sort through the haul, deciding what’s worth keeping.
WEAPONIZED CURIOSITY
Curiosity will be your driving force, but also a curse. The game respects your intelligence, refusing to hold your hand as you piece together the narrative among the hoard. The game will mess with your expectations.
INTERACTIVE, TACTILE WORLD
Interact with a physics-based world, where everything not bolted to the ground can be picked up, thrown, examined, or combined.

Hoarder is what happens when a Darkwood co-creator makes a cleaning simulator: Your job is to clean the abyss and 'no one is coming to save you'
The 2017 survival horror game Darkwood is really good and creepy as hell, an accomplishment that's doubly impressive because it's played from a fairly distant top-down perspective: There's no up-close gore or monsters jump-scaring into your face, but hoobie-doobie is it intense. A sequel is in development, but it's not being made by original developer Acid Wizard Studio, which went on hiatus in 2023; instead, it's being developed by Pathologic squad Ice-Pick Lodge, which is honestly great—it's a perfect matchup...
