Keep in mind that these mostly aren’t direct analogues, and not all in the space genre, but I can think of:
- Unpacking +
- Power Wash Simulator 1 and 2 +
- Papers, Please ++
- Space Engineers +
- Ostranauts +
- Besiege ++
- Terra Nil +
- Sunken Engine +
- No Place Like Home +
Cleaning games: +
Detail-driven puzzle or deduction games: ++

While I agree with most of the games in this list that I know, I wouldn’t class Ostranauts as a cleaning game. It’s probably closest to Shipbreaker, at least thematically. You loot derelict spaceships, but can also deconstruct hulls and systems to add them to your own spaceship. Finding a hull with serviceable fusion engine parts is hitting the jackpot, either to sell or for your own ship. While it shares the “I’m in debt for the rest of my life” vibe it’s much easier to climb out of that hole once you understand the game.

Every derelict I take salvage has so much crap I have to compulsively clean up, including my starter ship…
