Before they get home
The family's on their way home. The house is a disaster.
You have one job.
Before They Get Home
It is a fast, point-and-click cleaning game where every second counts. No player character, no walking around - just you, your cursor, and a house full of trash spread across multiple rooms.
CONTROLS
Mouse only. Click to interact, click doors to move between rooms. That's it.
How to play
- Click trash to collect it. Every item you clear adds to your score.
- Click doors to move between rooms: The camera snaps straight to the next room, no wasted time walking.
- Beat the clock: Each house has its own time limit. Run out, and its game over whatever you missed gets deducted from your score.
- Give up early if you're stuck: it locks in whatever you've collected so far, penalty and all, instead of waiting out the clock.
Features
- 🏠 3 houses to clean, each with its own layout, trash count, and time limit
- 🧹 Room-by-room structure - clear every room to fully finish a house
- ⏱️ Score system that rewards speed and completion: points per item collected, a bonus for time left on the clock, and penalties for anything you miss
- 🏆 Online leaderboards, for every house - see how your best runs stack up against everyone else
- 🎖️ Letter-grade ranking (S through F) based on how clean and how fast you finished
- 🔊 Full audio: pickup sounds, door sounds, a countdown before each house starts, and music with in-game volume controls
- 🎯 Unlockable houses - clear one to open the next
