Since I deleted the original video I made on this game I decided to pay it a revisit. Tbh it is still pretty good definitely a mystery on how gum got in the vents Lol.
Short, sweet, and the perfect level of scary for me! Or, maybe creepy. I don't do well with horror, so this was nice. My brother is a 3rd shift custodian. I'll probably have him play this for his birthday in a couple months. Good job with the game!
As someone who enjoys psychological thrillers, and has seen a good amount of them, honestly this short experience didn't provide enough to put me on edge.
Despite that, I enjoyed it as a short game, and would encourage the creator to research ways to put players who are adept in the genre, on edge. Fear is hard to pin down sometimes, especially for shorter experiences, but I think the creator is on the right track.
Great short horror experience. The collision on boxes was a little wonky but other than that it's solid. I was really hoping that there would be a different ending if you fully completed all janitorial duties but I can't expect all too much from a game made so quickly. Here's my experience if you're interested. Thank you very much for making it!
I really liked the game but (Spoilers ahead) I didn't understand why there was a crazy person banging doors, and why i had to clean gum (While nobody helped) on my birthday. Other than that it was really fun, and pretty creepy.
I liked it, the artstyle, shaders and shadows, models were nice, simple and cute. Its short and has a fun twist to it. to the design, i love how you added black vertical bars to make it look better. You play as a janitor who is getting scared after work and you explore thinking there are ghosts. Even with the twist, i think you could use a lot more scary suspense sounds or funny and scary jumpscares. for example, a door opening while you are walking with a scary sound, and after it got opened you realize the wind from air conditioner opened it, or you get a suspense sounds while walking in a corridor and the vent falls down. that would be cool.
So at the end of the game, you get inside a door and (spoilers flipped upside down) ¡⅄∀pH┴ɹIq ɹ∩O⅄ ɹOℲ ∩O⅄ pƎɹ∀ƆS ⅄ƎH┴ ┴∀H┴ ∩O⅄ פNISIɹԀɹ∩S SɹƎʞɹOMOƆ ɹ∩O⅄ pNIℲ ∩O⅄, they give you a cake and the game ends. Really cute ending.
What i really didnt like is glitches, this game is really easy to bug and glitch out in a lot of places so you have to restart it. You can even skip half of the game with these, hah. With all of this, short fun game that would be better a bit longer and with fixed bugs, sound production is good. 7/10.
(Your game begins at 11:13) That as actually really, really well played. It's a totally classic, well done little buildup until a completely unexpected payoff. Definitely caught me off guard. Great work.
*gasps* A game dev who actually doesn’t want to rely on jumpscares?! I think I’m in another universe XD
But really though, that’s great that you won’t ever rely on jumpscares. I mean sure they get me but sometimes to actually all the time, it’s done in such a way as like, just a cheap way to get scares, you know?

fun, short & surprising game about working as a janitor.

:) I Needed that ending! Thanks for making such a cool game ! Great job
Playing on linux, left click doesn't open the door at the beginning
I enjoyed this game. The ending was definitely unexpected. Also, still wondering about the bubblegum…

GAMEPLAY WALKTHROUGH
Short and sweet little game, good work :)
Simple yet good for the time it took to make. Wasn't really scary but it was entertaining to play.

Una piacevole sorpresa!!!
Solid gameplay, good mechanics, nice atmosphere.

That was just a Birthday but it got me (Check out the 2nd video)

今天來介紹一下我的新工作【Janitors Day 看门人节】一筐小品恐怖遊戲，上班的時候同事們給了我一個又恐慌又開心的驚喜
Extremely wholesome. Loved it. 100/10
Nice game
最高

enjoyed the end :)
Played this game and two other games for a three random horror games video. It is an interesting concept to say the least.
A little creepy in the beginning, but a good game for april the First!
Creepy game from the start until you get all the way down to the basement.
The first thing i did was fall to the abyss.
10/10 i felt like i am trapped by a capitalistic economic system
weird.
Really nice game! simple and effective I would say! I've made this playtrhough as well <3

Not what I expected, that's for sure! Also please don't leave your gum in vents.
(Gameplay footage below with commentary but first, a review :D)
I did not expect that ending at all haha. The moment I was thrown into the game and I looked at the monitor, I was thinking "Oh hell nah."
Loved the atmosphere of the game, how it didn't rely on jumpscares and how most of it was auditory scares.
It was fun to play and had me looking behind me a lot, thinking someone or something was chasing me.
please make more games like this one :D
without further ado, here is my video :)
Hey there, thanks for that :) and my games wont ever rely on jumpscares and thats a promise :)

Can’t wait for similar games in the future! :D
