Rumu

Rumu is an autonomous robotic vacuum cleaner, who is awakened by a household artificial intelligence called Sabrina for cleaning duties. The household belongs to a scientist couple, David and Cecily, who, as Sabrina assures Rumu, are going to be home soon — the house is otherwise completely empty, save the couple's cat Ada.

As Rumu cleans up and explores the house, Sabrina warns it not to trespass or look for any sort of information as to why David and Cecily are missing. Rumu eventually disregards the warnings and begins spelunking around the ventilation shafts of the house, and finds that even though Sabrina at one point insists that the couple are on a biking trip, their bicycles are still in the basement; the discovery turns Sabrina's initial hostility towards Rumu into pleading not to explore more.

The game was inspired by traditional point-and-click adventures like The Secret of Monkey Island, as well as the ethics and morality of technology, asking players to think about how they really interact with technology. The script was written by Dan McMahon. The game was officially launched at the PAX AUS 2017 gaming conference in Melbourne, Australia. The developers were unprepared for the emotional responses their game would elicit from players experiencing the game.

The game has a Metacritic score of 78% based on 7 reviews.

GameSpot felt the game addressed moral and ethical dilemmas regarding artificial intelligence. Rock Paper Shotgun liked the diorama-style rooms. Kotaku described the game as beautiful, satisfying, and charming. PC PowerPlay noted the game''s tightly structured story, sympathetic characters and meaningful themes.
