A Spoonful of Sugar

A Spoonful of Sugar puts players in the shoes of an unambitious adult enjoying a worry-free life in the basement and a huge game library, until overbearing parents hire a stern nanny. The game turns domestic chores into a mischievous loop: during the day you manipulate Mary Poppins into 'rewarding' your cleaning with treats that suit adult tastes, and each night you deliberately re-trash your room so there will be chores tomorrow. Players who enjoy character-driven comedy, clever mechanics and short, repeatable challenges will find the quirky premise of A Spoonful of Sugar appealing.
