Mind Control Games released Cash Cleaner Simulator on 8 May 2025 through Forklift Interactive. Dirty cash arrives in bags, boxes and mattresses, and your job is to check it, wash it, dry it, count it, box it and ship it back to your handlers. Jobs, tool orders and an AR placement mode all run through a darknet phone, and payment comes back in cryptocurrency.
Choosing the right build shapes your entire experience. This guide breaks down every option: what they're good at, what they struggle with, and which one matches your playstyle. For optimized builds with full gear sets, see our builds guide.
