What do you do in Playrooms?

Playrooms is a single-player cleaning horror game by Two Pixels UG. Pick up the loose balls and bring them back to their pits. Filling pits unlocks abilities, while collected balls are also the currency for equipment and keys to new areas.

For a first shift, work on one pit so you can see what filling it unlocks. If carrying balls is slowing you down, check the scoop. If you are having trouble seeing the route back, look at the flashlight. Check the shop for the pit required to unlock more copies of a device.

Watch the shift as you clean. The developer says lights start going out at the end of the shift. Keep track of the nearest lit area as you move between a pile of balls and a pit.
