Late Laundry is an inventive spin on the horror genre, cleverly set in an all-night laundromat where the mundane task of doing laundry after hours spirals into an unexpected adventure. With the player’s home water supply cut off due to a burst pipe, the only option is the local 24-hour laundromat. However, this laundromat is a place to wash clothes—it’s a stage for peculiar and unsettling events that unfold throughout the night.
As the player navigates this seemingly innocuous setting, Late Laundry quickly introduces a series of eerie happenings that infuse the familiar with the supernatural. The game capitalizes on the solitude and the hum of washing machines to amplify the sense of isolation and suspense. What begins as a simple late-night chore evolves into a series of ghostly encounters and psychological twists, challenging the player to complete their laundry while grappling with increasing paranoia and fear.
The charm of Late Laundry lies in its ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, using a blend of humor and horror to create a gameplay experience that keeps players laughing and jumping in equal measure. With its over-the-top enemy AI and intentionally dramatic cutscenes, the game provides a fresh take on horror, making even the smallest task of pressing a button to operate a washer an act filled with tension and anticipation. This clever game offers a quick scare and a memorable exploration of how a routine activity can turn thrillingly spooky.
