3. "RE: Power Wash Simulator"
In response to message #0
 
   The jobs keep getting bigger and weirder. I just cleaned the entire platform level of a subway station--central aisle, two platforms, two tunnels, benches, the works. Now I've been hired to clean a giant statue that some archaeologists just found in the desert outside of town.

With a pressure washer.

I'm 97% sure archaeology is not done that way.

In other news, the game has a developing story, which is not immediately obvious during the early missions. Your character lives in a town called Muckingham, which is a suburb of a larger urban area. Because there is a very prominent volcano at the far edge of the skybox, that urban area is called Caldera City, which amuses me every time I see it mentioned in game, since that's the name we made up for the capital of the UF version of the Fire Nation (its name is never mentioned in the actual show).

Caldera City's mayor lives in Muckingham. Or he did before he ran away for obscure reasons that may have had to do with being about to get caught for some sort of fraud, right after hiring the player character to clean his party barge. That job came after you cleaned the town's monster truck, because of course the town has a municipally owned monster truck. It's themed after the mayor's pet cat Ulysses, who has been missing since before the game began and is the subject of much rumor and consternation among various local officials, all of whose offices have been abused by the mayor in the search for his missing pet.

Also, there is a carnival in town in which the various attractions are operated by competitors, all of whom seek to acquire a competitive edge by having those attractions professionally cleaned before the start of the upcoming season. Pressure washing an entire Ferris wheel singlehanded is quite a job, even with a six-story-tall set of scaffolding and a mysterious immunity to falling damage.

This game has a bizarre amount of depth for what it is, and the gameplay remains weirdly satisfying.
