Cleaning up the planet just became a lot more satisfying—and impactful. Magic Pockets has officially released Clean Up Earth, a cozy environmental restoration simulator that bridges the gap between digital relaxation and tangible social change. Unlike traditional Sims, this title features a unique system where every piece of trash collected in-game contributes to real-world conservation efforts.
Immediate Gratification: The “Terra Cleaner” Experience
At the heart of Clean Up Earth is the Terra Cleaner, a modular, high-tech vacuum designed to suck up debris, recycle materials, and repair damaged structures.
- No Stress, Only Healing: There are no combat encounters, timers, or penalties for failure. The game is designed to be a meditative experience where the player sets the pace.
- Instant Visual Feedback: As players clear away pollution, the gray, dismal landscapes instantly transform. Plants regrow in real-time, wildlife returns to its habitat, and the ecosystem vibrates with new life.
- Hidden Mysteries: Beneath the grime of its 23 maps, players can uncover ancient relics and secrets in iconic locations like Area 51 and the Bermuda Triangle.
The World’s First In-Game Environmental Fund
The standout feature of Clean Up Earth is its seamless integration of philanthropy. As players perform cleaning tasks, the developers and their corporate partners trigger automatic micro-donations to reputable environmental NGOs.
“We wanted to move beyond just talking about the environment,” said Éric Zmiro, founder of Magic Pockets. “We wanted to show that collective action, even in a virtual space, can result in measurable change in the real world.”
The system has already been vetted through successful partnerships with WWF and events like World Cleanup Day. Participating NGOs include Wings of the Ocean, Plastic Pickup, and Expedition MED, all receiving funds based on player activity at no additional cost to the users.
