This was REALLY enjoyable to play. I'm seriously disappointed it ends so quickly. I only got to fully clean 2 rooms and wish I could've played more!
Amazing job poeple, I think I had as much fun playing this as you guys probably did making this.
I LOVE how this game looks and sounds. And, uhm, smashing corpses is fun! I enjoyed it a lot
What a fun game! Loved the concept here, I had to go back just to check out the last room.
Love the elevator music. Where can I sign up for this job position for real?
Funny concept! For some reason, it showed me that there is still some dirt left, but I was not able to find it. I moped the whole floor. Also, the mouse wasn’t locked, which made it a bit harder to navigate. But other than that I like the idea, very funny :D
Hi, thank for the feedback! Sometimes blood can go into the trap that's on the floor so it may be hard to find. The mouse lock is an issue unfortunately, it should work if you enter and exit settings with 'T' I believe. Anyways thanks for the kind word, glad you had fun :))
I liked the concept, but it needed polishing.
Fair! Thanks for playing!! <3
Yo this is such a fun concept.
I would've played for longer - I don't think this type of game needs a time limit at all. I would've been perfectly fine with just cleaning up murder rooms for my eldritch god.
Sad I didn't get to use the hammer - also I didn't find out how to dispose of the stinky human corpses - but bagging and scrubbing was great.
Awesome aesthetics as well.
My biggest gripe was that my mouse cursor wasn't locked which made navigating the game very challenging.
Thank you! Yeah the cursor issue haunts us and is the first thing we would want to fix! As of now you can try opening the settings menu by pressing T, then closing it by pressing T again. That sometimes does the trick. The hammer smashes corpses into gut balls, sorry it wasn't more clear! Glad the cleaning loop hooked you and again thank you very much for playing!! <3
I swear I tried using left and right mouse click on the corpses with the hammer, but just nothing happened.
Anyways, really cool game with a great hook. It would make a good steam game imo.
Pretty cool setting and gameplay, very unique concept for this sort of game jam as well lol, I enjoyed my time with it. The mechanics were nice and simple and functioned well, and overall the whole world felt like I wanna stay and play the game more. I do not mind the timer as much, I think it's alright and sometimes good to have a sense of end in a jam game, but I also do think you could have achieved the same thing with visual/environmental instances rather than have a straight timer. Some little quips could've existed about the victims too, and maybe some lore dumps would have made the world seem more atmospheric. I also visited the void 👁. Overall a very in-depth and well made game and would love to see it develop further than the jam!
Thank you for the kind words and organizing the jam!! and yeah we think we might want to go further with this prototype, if something cool comes out of it we'll be sure to let you know :))
Means a lot coming from the host! Agreed on the timer feedback, more diegetic pacing would land better. Lore dumps and victim quips were on the cutting room floor sadly, but are a great idea if we develop this game further. Hope you enjoyed the void and thanks for playing!!!! <3
That was so much fun! I really enjoyed how the meat bits splatter around and add more blood splots, did you use decals for this? I would love to see how they are set up! I had one bug in room 2 where it was hard to destroy the body on the right, my guess is a trigger collider blocking the raycast but idk your method.
I wanted to keep playing but the timer stopped me before I was ready to stop.
(also I liked the loading screen)
Thank you for the kind words!! Blood is a shadered texture and we just tweak the parameters to make it smoothly dissapear :))
Yeah the raycasts definetly could be done better with the 2nd room trap in mind.
Glad you enjoyed it !!!
Thanks for playing <3
An interesting concept. It's a shame about the timer, as I would have liked it to have a defined ending. My only suggestion is to add keybinds for each item, cycling through them didn't feel entirely comfortable for me. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah we definetly regret adding the timer, it was a last second decision that unfortunately did not work out as intended.
Numbered tool keys are a great call! Thanks for playing!! <3
This is a wonderful experience, and i'm glad i had it! i only wish there was more to play, and that god's patience drained a little faster, and that there was a bit more tutorialization at the front. exceptional work! c:
Thanks! All fair feedback, we'd love to expand it post jam ;))
VERY COOL!!I like that apart from the scary ambience, as long as you do your job and keep on cleaning, you kind of feel cozy and safe, just a normal day at work ;)) also flesh pulp both looks and sounds very satisfying!
Thank you for playing!! <3
Mopping blood is my new favourite game mechanic!! Cool game, love the look of it :)
Haha thanks, super glad you enjoyed it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Mop tech was a labor of love ;pp
Great game! Love you restrict the time to spend there =).
Thank you!!
Thanks! Zhareth-Oul is not patient ;pp
This game really is a Powerwash simulator but horror, I love it a lot! ^^
I really like how the art style was done and the audio! The way you are in the elevator is completely nice and peaceful, then you enter the rooms and it is pure horror and you are just there, just to clean.
And yes I did play till the end as how entertaining it was :)
Haha thanks for sticking out till the end <3
Glad you liked it!!
The body exploding was sick as haha!
Thank you!
The smell offends me... I wish the game would have gone on longer, I was just getting into it.
The message at the end was wholesome. <3
Thank you for playing!! We appreaciate the kind words
Thank you! Glad the ending landed!!
Very nice game! it's funny how behind the facade of ancient dungeon it is the same office building as anywhere in the human cities
Haha thanks! Even ancient eldritch dungeons need maintanance. Thank you for playing!!
Thanks!!!!
How DARE you not anticipate me playing until the end, this is AMAZING! LET ME PLAY MORE RAHHH!
Also, the game didn't capture my cursor, could you release a downloadable version?
Haha thanks, unfortunately adding a downloadable build now would probably be against the rules. If there are issues with mouse captures entering and exiting settings [T] should solve the issue. We are glad you liked it!
Glad you wanted more!!! This is the nicest feedback we could get ;))
I really lliked the atmosphere, however it took me a while to make the elevator work, I don't know, maybe it's a hardware problem. Good game! Congratulations!
Thank you for playing!
Thanks!!!!
