As someone trapped and with no memories inCash Cleaner Simulator, you start with nothing but a small delivery room full of trash, and with little more to your name than a table and some boxes. As you meet people who claim to be your friends, they’ll help expand your base.

They might not do it very safely, but with that help, you’ll have more room to work and unlock some equipment and places that are not only useful, but key pieces of progression. Hidden behind a conspicuous painting of a vault is an actual Vault, and you’ll need to get into it if you want your eventual freedom.
