When I put the controller down after my first session, I gently weeped for ten minutes..
Street Cleaning Simulator truly is a hidden pearl within an ocean of seaweed and carp. Visceral, fun and emotionally engaging. It is too soon to state for sure, but I believe that everyone would agree that the overriding way to describe an interactive experience, like the one given to us by Excalibur Publishing Limited, involve two words; timeless, classic.
It is the longevity of its game-play and art design that will be Street Cleaning Simulator's saving grace, as akin to other classics that have stood the test of time to rise up into the higher realms of recognition - Blade Runner, for instance - Street Cleaning Simulator and the masterminds behind its development may have just been too good, ahead of their time. I can only hope to god that the circumstance never arrives, but in thirty years time, when my grandchildren are wearing protective hydrating water-exoskeletons so that they can play in the molten sun, I picture myself echoing the first time I played this game and gently weeping to myself. If we had only payed attention to the central message of Street Cleaning Simulator and picked up the very trash that we leave at our own feet, our world would be greener, and our inter-humanistic relationships all the richer.
