7 Nights with Vroombi Turns Robot Vacuum Chores into Paranormal Survival
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Pixel Goat Games' new Steam release, 7 Nights with Vroombi, puts players in the chassis of a robot vacuum cleaner navigating a haunted house, trading traditional survival horror panic for mechanical irritation.
Developer Pixel Goat Games has launched a delightfully strange premise on Steam with 7 Nights with Vroombi, a new horror title reported by Rock Paper Shotgun. Instead of playing as a terrified teenager trapped in a mansion, you step into the chassis of a humble robot vacuum cleaner. Your nightly routine involves rolling out of your charging dock to clean up dust, all while avoiding moving furniture, strange noises, and deeply unsettling notes left behind by a child named Lily. The horror here comes less from jump scares and more from the sheer, petty annoyance of trying to clean up occult dust patterns and loose marbles that threaten to jam your internal fans.
The dynamic creates a genuinely fresh comedic and atmospheric contrast. While the house is massive and cloaked in shadows, your character is flat, defensive-less, and entirely devoid of actual fear or human panic. Your only real struggle is navigating poor turning circles and ignoring creepy messages like Let Me Out scrawled across the floorboards. As Edwin Evans-Thirlwell points out in the original Rock Paper Shotgun coverage, digesting human skin cells and dodging occult pentagrams is just another day at the office for a machine that simply wants to return to its dock.
Clocking in at roughly forty-five to seventy-five minutes per playthrough, the game embraces a tight, single-sitting runtime that feels just right for a joke this specific. It avoids outstaying its welcome while still offering multiple endings and optional objectives for players who want to dig deeper into Lily's suspicious motives. If you are looking for a quick, clever indie palette cleanser that refuses to take itself too seriously, Vroombi offers a fun twist on the haunted house formula available now on PC.
