The Janitor

How is it even possible to make a game this bad

Dropped into a pitch black world of nothingness, I found myself consumed by only the sounds of terror and flesh-eating cannibals. I ran and ran to my heart's content and found no sanction anywhere, only dark corners met my form. I heard his screams everywhere,


Dogshit game. 10/10

I wish I had never played this. Achievement hunting has gone to far...

Recommend: Nope. Not even for .49 cents.
I've played a lot of indie B flick horror games cause I enjoy the genre. I figured negative reviews or not this would still have something to enjoy. I was wrong.

First I had to use third party software to lock the mouse to the game window to avoid my other 3 monitors but at least it did stretch to 2560x1080. Not that it helped visually. The game is dark and the flashlight doesn't seem to work as shown in screenshots.


A few comparison snips for your own judgement.
Definitely not the flashlight coverage shown in the store screenshots.

In a room with some chairs and a small TV. The chairs in back light up from all angles, but the ones closest to me do not. Nor is there a ring of light as most dark games with flashlights.

Doors stand out pretty nicely as does blood splatter :D: but you can't see much in the halls to know where you can or can't walk. So lot's of getting stuck in objects as its just blackness.

Upstairs view next to a railing looking down at the bad guy. Makes finding his location nice, but you're still fighting the environment like Pitch Black or The Chronicles of Riddick :happypirate:

So getting past the visual, we have our bad guy creature that chases you. Wow is he sensitive! If i moved before he came down the stairs and walked off in the opposite direction he was coming at me. Granted he is slow so you have that to your advantage. At one point he was upstairs and I turned my flashlight on downstairs and he came after me as well. So it seems even if it doesn't do much for you, it certainly helps to conclude your game faster. Reset back to the menu to try again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3hOS83rhwE I can't this has to be one of the worst indie horror games from steam I ever played... I couldn't even complete it because it wasn't very clear as to what you're supposed to even be doing there. I think the only entertaining thing about this game was that creature, because of how he'll walk through doors, and get stuck on walls. That's terrible AI right there. Also, I noticed the creature will sometimes glitch out and you'll get stuck when he's right in your face, and your only choice will be to restart the game. Not sure if anyone else ran into that but if you click on my video I did of the game you'll see it happen to me a few times. So, I strongly suggest avoiding this game at all costs.

As a horror enthusiast, this did nothing for me.
The monster was not scary nor the sound he made, I kept glitching into a wall or the monster and I would glitch and get stuck, and there was no option to opt out in the middle of the game, so I literally had to turn off my computer to quit entirely.

The graphics were okay for what it was, controls were a little touchy, but the worst was the monster and programing itself.
The only good thing about this game was the few seconds of song that played and the man over the intercom at the beginning of the game play, raising curiosity of who it is and peeking into a back story.

However all in all, poorly done game and not worth time or frustration.
I would recommend the Developer to revisit and rebuild this game.
It's concept is interesting and should have more work put into it, fix bugs, add more option in case both player and monster get stuck, control layout, REDESIGN THE MONSTER (It looks like a generic troll from a fantasy rpg of something), and better controls.
If these are fixed, I will give this game another try.

This game has action, horror, romance, comedy and most of all, a janitor. This is one of the most emotional games I've ever played. There was a part where I clipped through the stairs and flew out the map, there was also a part where the janitor got stuck on a table and I managed to collect everything while he was stuck there.

The ending is what got me. The ending is one of the most tear-jerking things I've ever witnessed.
Seeing the janitor reveal himself to the child made the game worth the whole 20 pence that I spent

The best part is that I tried to refund the game 2 times and Steam simply refused to give me back my £0.20. Thanks.

One complaint is that gameover screen says "Feeling safe isn't a feeling you can feel" whereas in the original Shakespear play it says "feeling safe is a feeling you can not feel feelings for that feeling"

[SPOILERS TO THE JANITOR LORE BELOW]

The janitor is actually Kanye West and at the end he starts singing "Stronger"
I prefered the ending where he was actually just a janitor trying to give you back your lost backpack

10/10 Better than Battlefront 2

Game doesn't explain the controls or what you have to do!
No tutorials!!
I walk around in a place and then I feel that someone is attacking me from behind.
I turn around to see that it's some kind of person and then I die!
Then I quit and delete the game forever from corrupting my computer anymore!
WORST GAME EVER!!!!

This game is absolutely magical, imagine a game where your objective is to repair a broken lift but it's literally impossible to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1000000000000/10 best game ever made

An absolute tedious grind is the only way I can sum up this very poor effort. So its your typical cheap unity 'horror' game. Run around looking for things to collect in a level that features ugly graphics,minimal lighting, poor animations and annoying audio. I say things to collect I found one thing and could not find any thing else in the entire map.

This would at least be bearable if not for the fact that the enemy poo monster can easily kill you even if your in a locked room... This is just bad on every level. Then just to really get on your goat the game is riddled with bugs and crashes.

Not even worth it on a sale unless you are a sucker for self inflicted tedium.

If being a Janitor is this amazing then I need to change career paths. Truly immersive and terrifying experience. Plenty of scares and chills, and a real sense of unknowing as you wander around these halls not quite knowing where you'll find your escape.

Or even if the point is to escape

Or if there even is a point

This game could have some potential but its just too broken honestly. It does have a decent atmosphere but there's a constant groaning in the background that doesn't stop. The monster itself is pretty dumb, not just in appearance but in its behavior as it very very quickly gives up chase and walks into walls constantly.

I honestly can't recommend this game unless you're like me and like checking out broken games. I made a gameplay video so check it out and save yourself some money.

worst game ever

but i did record it

Wow, just wow. You know, I have played many horror games in my life and let me just tell you.... this has got to be the best one. Gameplay is smooth. Graphics are great. Very "interactive". The went-wrong experiment is so well made. Through out the entire game, I was scared for my "live". It was so cool to play as a janitor fixing an elevator. I have been studying to be a janitor since I was 5, and after this terrifying experience, I can honestly say I might have to reconsider my career choice. It has truly been an honor to play as Max Taylor. Although this game has gotten very negative reviews, I wish VOS Gaming a nice anyway!

I usually don't write game reviews but I felt like I needed to for this one... DON'T BUY THE GAME!! IT IS ABSOLUTE TRASH!! 7$ for what?? Running around and trying to fix an elevator while a humanoid figure chases you? There are FREE games out there that are a thousand times better than this. I've never written a bad review in my life but this is just a ripoff... save your money guys!

Frictional Games, watch out.

Sorry i just cant recommend this game, its too simple to enjoy it, I usually dont mind Indie horror games, but this atleast to me, just feels like you are running around doing nothing untill you die.

Maybe im just bad at it, or misunderstood it, but this is my experience.
