Doronko Wanko is an adorably silly (and messy!) dog sim, and it’s launching on Nintendo Switch on July 23 with new doggo DLC.

In Doronko Wanko, players play as a mischievous Pomeranian who wants to make their home as messy as possible. Fling mud, spill juice, and equip outlandish paint guns in a quest to rack up the most expensive cleaning bill possible.

It’s like a reverse Powerwash Simulator!

But who could get mad at such an adorable doggo?

I do love dogs, but I also love a clean house (and constantly clean up after dogs and humans), making me quite conflicted about the whole thing.

The casual sim launched last year on Steam as a free-to-play project from Bandai Namco Studio’s rookie training program. It holds an impressive Overwhelmingly Positive rating (98%) by Steam users. It’s distributed by Phoenixx Inc.

Unlike on Steam, the Switch version of Doronko Wanko will not be free ($4.99), but will will add new types of pint-size doggos, including Corgi, Shiba-Inu, and Toy Poodle. The new dog breeds will be added to Steam as a bundle DLC ($4.99), or as individual packs ($1.99 each).

Doronko Wanko will arrive on Nintendo Switch eShop on July 23.
