Cash Cleaner Simulator is all about cleaning dirty cash and not getting caught doing it. Come along and give in to your inner criminal side and be the cash cleaner you’ve always wanted to be. Cash Cleaner Simulator was developed by Mind Control Games and published by Forklift Interactive.

When you first load into a save of Cash Cleaner Simulator, you awake in a strange building, and your phone starts ringing. And we have a short one-way conversation with this person on the phone. We’re then shown the tutorial, which teaches us the controls that aren’t hard to learn. To begin with, we can start a job that shows us how to do the basics of cash cleaning. This job requires us to create a small money pack and then place it on the conveyor belt to send off to the client who hired us for this job.

The beginning set of jobs is quite simple, which is great when you’re trying to get into a title you’ve never tried before and have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. When we begin our second job, money starts falling from the sky; it’s raining money! When you go to place an item on the conveyor belt, if the box and/or item you’ve placed goes red, you’ve not fully done what was required of you. The item will not go through the hole unless the light is green, so you can fix this error.

You can access the Black Market from your phone if you need to buy anything to continue your cash-cleaning journey. This is where you’ll be able to purchase all the items necessary for the jobs you do. Be aware of the items you’re trying to buy, as in my play sessions, I accidentally purchased items that spawned in an area that I had not gotten access to yet.

The more jobs you do, the higher the rank you get, which allows you to purchase more equipment and access larger work environments. This makes life a lot easier as having a small area to work in can get quite frustrating, but do not fret, as you’ll get there by doing more and more quests, which will also help you do bigger jobs and more of the higher-level cash cleaning activities.

Some of the jobs can get a little confusing when you’re trying to complete them and believe you’ve done everything, but when you submit them, the light turns red. This happened to me once or twice, but after a little while of trying to figure out what was happening, I realised what had happened and could move on.

The controls for Cash Cleaner Simulator are super simple and easy to remember. In the tutorial, you’re shown mostly all the controls you will ever need to use, which is fantastic as you don’t need to remember a hundred different keys or keybinds just to play the game. Even if you do forget one or two of the controls, you’ll always be able to check them out via the Controls.

When trying to pick up a lot of money in one area, you can hold “F,” which will pick up a lot of it for you to put into a pile and put it into your money counter so you can count the bills. Looking for your inventory? Hit “TAB”, and you’ll find anything you’ve put inside your inventory.

Anything small like the Bill Strap, Knife, and more can go into your inventory; say you need to use the Bill Strap; you can use the one on your table, or you can hold “R”, and it will allow you to use the Bill Straps from your inventory.

The graphics of Cash Cleaner Simulator are nice. When holding the cash you need to clean or do something with for a job, you can see that the bill has previously been crumpled, showing great attention to detail. All the other equipment you can get your hands on looks real, which adds to the level of authenticity. This is something you’d be looking for in a title like Cash Cleaner Simulator.

The audio for Cash Cleaner Simulator is just magnificent. When you’re using the money counter, you might think someone is using one in real life, but it’s just in the game. The voice lines for some of the characters we meet via the phone are well done. I was surprised by how good the entire game sounded, and I’m not one for music, but the radio that plays whilst you’re doing the job is so relaxing and nice. It allows you not to get too stressed about doing something incorrectly, which is quite good.

In conclusion, Cash Cleaner Simulator is a fun and interesting game. If you’re looking for the next big simulator game, this very well might be it! From the tutorial being so easy to understand, the controls not being difficult at all, and the general enjoyability and replayability, I will fall into this game’s rabbit hole. I hope you join me for it!
