A kinetic brainwipe for citybound psyches! A soothing and informative walking tour of glitchbuild architectural nullities that also cleans out unwanted mental detritus. Let our patented logobuzz hypnotyping technology wash over your buildingweary brainpan... All while you effortlessly fortify your subconscious for future oneiric scenarios! Repeat wash cycles as many times as needed. No two runthroughs are the same!
Inspired by: routine maintenance forms / mechanical noises / vintage cassette tape head cleaners / open construction pits / transit service degradation / haphazard junk shop sales bins / cost of living / stairways and shadows.

This is wild. Really like the aesthetics. Cyberpunk kind of feeling even though it's based entirely in real life, far as I can tell.
Thank you so much! Yes you are right all of the imagery is local shots from my city, glitched up a bit for flavour. I guess it doesn't take much to veer into cyberpunk these days... (lhigh tech + low life, sounds about right...)
I'm a little confused but I liked it! :') I ended up stuck on the status nullified screen.
Thank glad you liked it, despite the insistence on nullification…
i do not know what is happening
Insert cleaner into orifice as you would any normal tape.
Press play button.
Eject cleaner.
gooood lord what was this experienc
This is what happens when you take a right turn at Albuquerque.
AAAAAAALBUQUERQUE
Is this okay? I add some filter in the vids.
Sure! I like the filters too, makes it even more abject
I can't tell if this was a good or really really bad trip. Or a really scary ARG. Either way, sick.
Good point I am similarly unsure... In any case, thank you for swinging by the pseudoscape!
Loved it
Thank you, fellow purger!
one of the things it said if you squint you can see x but i couldn't find no matter how hard i tried. I think im blind. interesting game never seen something like this before
Thank you! I guess "x" in that instance was a placeholder for something undefined, rather than a specific x, but then again, maybe it was. I will have to go back and hunt for x's...
10/10 wait this is not my house
thank you, sorry about the real estate timeslip it happens there are specialized fixtures you can order next time
I think that broke something useless in me. Thank you for the cleanse!
Thank you - service with a slime!
Felt like my brain was seared by hot concrete. I liked it a lot!
Excellent! Appreciate the damage report
wow, there's so much going on! the heartbeat line is a custom font, right? it looks nice, I wonder if there's a secret text behind it :)
Thanks so much and for your comments on the font. It is a custom (mis)use yes. There is indeed some "subliminal" text there that is not meant to be directly decoded, sort of inspired by an old 80s weightloss cassette I found which had subliminal messaging that you couldn't hear.
ooh that's very interesting!
Oh my god I think we might own that, picked it up at a thrift store and just thought "what??".
Incredibly creepy to listen to! You can sort of hear a vague vocalization over the banal calming music and it's very unnerving.
Tomb forgotten. Hell of a trip.
Thanks for plunging! And thanks for all the tips in “Riddle of the Temple”, they definitely helped me figure some things out!
