The new demo for Undusted: Letters from the Past is now available on Steam and will be part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest, taking place from June 9–16 at 10 AM PT. Developed by 5minlab Corp. and published by Toge Productions, the game invites players on an intimate journey filled with memories, emotions, and small acts of care, blending relaxing gameplay mechanics with heartfelt storytelling.

In this cozy cleaning simulator, players return to their childhood home following the passing of their mother. As they clean and restore forgotten objects marked by time, they uncover touching stories tied to each item. The game offers an interactive ASMR experience, enhanced by charming lo-fi pixel visuals that evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

The project is directed by Yoonjeong Choi, who previously served as art director for Kill The Crows. After that title’s unexpected success in 2024, she was inspired to create her own game, aiming to capture the “oddly satisfying” feeling often found in restoration and ASMR videos. What began as a short and simple demo turned out to be so engaging that it laid the foundation for a full game.

Unlike most cleaning games that focus on entire spaces, this one shifts the spotlight to individual objects, each one carrying emotional and narrative weight. This unique approach allows the story to unfold piece by piece as players interact with every item and gradually rediscover the protagonist’s past.

With immersive sound design, tool-specific ASMR audio, captivating pixel-style visuals, and a moving narrative, the title aims to both soothe and touch its players. The demo is now available on Steam, offering a glimpse into the full experience to come.
