Rustless
A laser rust removal game. Drag a laser across rusty metal, hear it crackle, watch the sparks fly, and uncover what is underneath. Twelve objects, three of them a mystery until you finish.

ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response. It is the calm, tingling feeling that some people get from particular sounds and sights: a crackle, a soft tap, a slow and careful movement, something being cleaned or sliced. ASMR videos let you watch. An ASMR game hands you the tool, so the sound and the motion follow your own finger.
What makes a game satisfying?
Three things come up again and again in research and in the games that people keep playing.
- Something gets finished. Psychologists describe a "just right" feeling when a task reaches completion and order is restored, which is why cleaning and restoration are so watchable. Discover Magazine has a good summary.
- The texture is familiar and predictable. In a survey of about 2,100 people rating ASMR clips, soft and consistent textures scored best, while sticky or unstable ones split the audience. Kapwing published the results.
- The response is instant. Sound and motion have to answer the touch without delay, and nothing should interrupt the flow.
How Dewmind builds them
- Every sound is generated live from what you are doing, so the crackle gets quieter when the rust under the beam is gone.
- You cannot fail. There is no timer pushing you and no way to lose.
- Each object finishes with one clear bell, then tilts so you can see the result.
- No download, no account and no ads.

Yes. Dewmind games run in the browser on iPhone and Android as well as on a laptop or desktop. Rustless is also coming soon to the App Store and Google Play.
Does everyone feel ASMR?
