Storyline

You step into the perspective of Khem, the granddaughter of a founding family of refugees that establishes a new country after their old home is bought out and deconstructed. Spend a weekend with Khem at her restoration shop, cleaning old trash and hearing various tales. You'll meet a few eccentric, unique characters along the way, all bringing their own piece of trash that has a unique story behind it. Restore it for them in a light-puzzle minigame where you rotate objects and match the stains with the correct cleaning object.
