The Cleaner's Contract

Steam page is live. The announcement trailer plays from YouTube on this page.

You owe the underworld $1,000,000. Armed with a mop, chemical sprayer, and UV flashlight, you race through hand-built crime-scene templates where kill zones shift every run. The Cleaner's Contract is a top-down 2D cleaning-sim roguelite where time, blood, and your slipping sanity work against you.

How Saliya Started

Saliya Games was founded in 2025 by two MIS graduates. The studio took shape during the Saudi Game Champions Program game jam in Riyadh in October 2025, where the team's prototype qualified Saliya for the program's 2nd Edition six-month incubator at CODE HQ (Nov 2025 - May 2026, cohort demo day May 12, 2026).

The team is now building The Cleaner's Contract as the studio's first commercial release, with a founder-led focus on design, technology, and execution.
