Take in the trash...
Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor is an anti-adventure game about picking up trash in an alien bazaar. Play as the Janitor, an Alaensee girlbeast with a municipally-subsidized trash incineration job and dreams of leaving the planet of Xabran's Rock far behind her.
Explore the Spaceport! Navigate the maze of alleyways, side streets, plazas, and bridges as you search for discarded items to burn. Investigate one of various entrances to the mysterious subterranean sewerdungeon, or climb the ominously symmetrical Ziggurat to get a better view of the urban landscape! If you pay attention and keep track of landmarks, you won't get lost... probably.
Embrace routine! Spend your days cleaning up litter, finding food, and testing your luck at lottoshrines scattered throughout the area. Daily tasks form the backbone of your life as the Janitor, providing structure and monotonous security in an uncertain world! Do not deviate from your routine. Pray, work, eat, sleep. Do not deviate from your routine.
Suffer the Curse! Stick your scentflaps where you shouldn't, and you may just walk away with an ancient cranial entity haunting your every waking moment! Consult local Necresses, pray to the Nine Goddesses, purchase ritual objects, and rub the giant sword to balance your personal luck favorably! Maybe that will make the whispering stop!
Embark on an anti-adventure! Find a middle ground between your life of menial drudgery and a culture of exciting quests and powerful heroes, and you might finally find a way off Xabran's Rock!

I keep thinking about this game years after I played it. Wonderful, unique experience.
beautifully crafted world and routine that lulls you into a comfortable rhythm of caring for your basic necessities all the while practicing the art of learning what to hold on to and when to let go. The inclusion of gender dysphoria and how it affects your character and your ability to function and exist in the game is such a beautiful addition and insight for individuals who may not have experienced dysphoria before and is an affirming and validating piece that those who have can relate to and hold close. I love that you can easily and often lose yourself in the maze of the various sectors of the world. There's always new corners to explore or pieces to uncover. It's something that can be put down for some time and revisited as though no time has passed.
They Might Be Giants once asked the question "Should you worry when the skull head is in front of you, or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?" While Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor sidesteps the question, it does definitively state that the skull head in front of you isn't nearly as frightening as being stuck in a dead end job in capitalist hellscape.
Absolutely play this, I had no idea this was 10 years old until looking for wikis. It's pretty short but a tad confusing as there is no in game map and the city is pretty big and maze like. But it's still simple enough with a great art style. 9/10 cozy game
5/10 and an 8/10.
The game is an immersive sim. The immersion comes in the form of an alien-world that the player must learn and navigate to get rid of a curse and eventually "leave the planet" as that is the main character's dream.
The game's main gameplay loop comes down to:
Wake up-
Find garbage-
optimize items for incineration-
Find enough food to sustain yourself while buying the food as cheap as possible (or get food for free)-
Go home when it's too late because you can't work when you are too tired/out of energy
Sleep
- Wake up
The game does a great job of exploring the concepts of a society that outright does *not* put value to a lowly worker, but fails to provide a fun gameplay loop.
Play this game if you like chilling to good music and watching youtube videos in the background so you can stay somewhat awake while playing.
Avoid this game if you don't like games where you're literally doing a job for a game.
extremely evocative
This is my favorite video game of all time. The most realistic poverty / minimum wage grind simulator I have ever experienced. Made me cry a lot (in a good way)
This is one of my favorite indies. Cozy, depressing, funny, a chore, all at once. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, especially all the weird street vendors, the festival music, the vibrant colors, all the random junk you can find... Really cool experience.
