Clean the Snow Off My Car, Please! — first look at the cozy snow cleaning game coming to Steam

By Bad Dimension Games · · 8 min read

Prototype footage with the work-in-progress interface: a Car Clean meter, the day, which car of the day you're on and what you've earned so far.

Clean the Snow Off My Car, Please! is a cozy first-person snow cleaning game from Bad Dimension Games. A storm buries the town overnight, and people need their cars back: you brush the heavy snow off in chunks, chip and scrape the ice from the glass, pour hot water over frozen locks and push the snow away so the car can finally drive off. It's coming to Steam for Windows and macOS, planned for December 2026 — and you can wishlist it now.

A cozy snow game about one buried car at a time

Most snow games are about racing through it, skiing down it or surviving it. This one is about the most familiar winter job there is: the car outside that disappeared under the snow overnight. You walk around it, find your angle and clear it — the hood, the roof, the windows, the wheels — until it's a car again. Think of it as a car cleaning game where the dirt is a foot of fresh snow.

It's a job, too. After every big storm people need help digging out. You get paid for each car, spend the money on better tools and on your old pickup, and travel from town to town after the storms with your beagle. The pace is meant to be relaxing: a cozy game to wind down with after work, with no timers screaming at you.

How the snow cleaning works: layers, chunks and a clean finish

Snow sits on every panel of the car as real layers, and ice forms its own separate layer underneath. Pull the brush across the hood and it bites into the snow, piles it up in front of the bristles and drops it off the bumper in heavy clumps. Two passes per lane: the first takes the weight, the second leaves the paint clean.

Underneath the powder is the stubborn part. You press and pull to scrape the crust off, watch the broken ice scatter, and see the cleared surface come through a little at a time. The sound is half the fun — the swish of the brush, the crack of the ice, your footsteps crunching in the snow.

The tools: snow brush, ice scraper, ice chisel, snow pusher and a kettle

Every surface needs a different tool, and switching between them is part of the rhythm. Here is the toolkit as it stands in development:

Snow brushTelescopic — for hoods, roofs and windshields. Heavy snow off in chunks.
Ice scraperFor frost and thin ice on the glass.
Ice chiselCracks thick window crust into plates.
Ice breaker barFrozen slush in the wheel arches.
Snow pusherClears a path around the car so it can drive away.
KettleHot water for frozen locks and handles.
Leaf blowerBlows fresh powder off — and only fresh powder.
Pressure jetHot water for the toughest ice.
Truck plowAn upgrade for your pickup: clear the road on the way to the job.

Snow shoveling, digging out — and the roof that falls on you

A car isn't free until it can drive away. Frozen slush packs the wheel arches, so you break it out with an ice breaker bar. Then the snow pusher — a wide push shovel — clears a path around the car. If you came looking for a snow shoveling or snow removal game, this is the part for you: long, satisfying strokes and a clean strip of ground behind you.

Mind the roof, though. Poke a full roof of snow from the wrong side and it comes down on you. Buried. It happens.

Every car cleans differently

Taxis, sports cars, delivery vans, a 1960s classic, a pickup that hasn't moved in years. Low hoods, tall roofs, chrome and deep snow — each car has its own shape, and each one cleans its own way. A low sports car is a quick job; a tall van means reaching for the roof with the telescopic brush.

Lost things, a beagle and your home on wheels

People lose things in the snow: phones on the hood, keys in a drift. Find them for a tip — your beagle is very good at this.

Between storms you live on the road, in an old pickup. What you earn goes into the truck: a plow for the front to clear the road on the way to the job, a light bar, a camper with a stove and warm lights. The game is not a snow plow simulator — the plow is an upgrade, and the real work still happens with the brush in your hand — but it's a nice thing to come home to.

Who it's for: cozy cleaning games, satisfying games and PowerWash Simulator fans

If you're looking for games like PowerWash Simulator, the appeal will feel familiar: a dirty — here, buried — object, a set of tools, and the slow pleasure of turning it clean piece by piece. What's different is the material. Snow is heavy and comes off in clumps, ice cracks and scatters, and some problems need hot water rather than pressure.

Release date, platforms and price

Clean the Snow Off My Car, Please! is planned for December 2026 on Steam, for Windows and macOS — one of the cozy games coming at the end of 2026. Steam lists it as single-player, in English. The price will be announced closer to launch.

The easiest way to follow it is to wishlist it on Steam — Steam will tell you the day it comes out. You can also find more clips on the game's page and on Instagram at @cleanthesnowgame.

FAQ

Is there a game where you clean snow off cars?

Yes — that is the whole idea of Clean the Snow Off My Car, Please! It is a first-person snow cleaning game: after a storm you dig buried cars out by hand with a snow brush, an ice scraper, an ice chisel, a snow pusher and a kettle of hot water. It is coming to Steam.

When is the release date?

Is it like PowerWash Simulator?

Is it a snow plow simulator?

No. The game is about cleaning cars by hand, from the snow on the roof to the slush in the wheel arches. You can fit a plow to your pickup as an upgrade to clear the road on the way to a job, but the core of the game is you, a brush and the car in front of you.
