“Me and my husband really enjoy this game. We don’t find it difficult at all, and I saw someone say the keys were hard to find… maybe they used to be, but they’re definitely not now. The only annoying thing to track down…”
“funny game”
“Pretty cool horror experience. Cleaning trash while escaping ghosts is always fun. Lunch Lady also makes a comeback so you can consider this a sequel.”

“It's a super fun game to play with friends. I'm hoping future updates will include more smaller maps.”
“Really fun horror co-op to play with friends. The graphics look cool, the ghosts are scary, and there is a variety of maps. Some maps are a bit on the large side, even with 4 people. Needs a little bit more variety on…”
“Game is so much fun with co-op and strangers. Spooky and is a cleanup simulator with horror elements. I'm not a personal fan with these kinds of games but for some reason, I grew to love it because my best friend gave…”

“The game play is nice and not too challenging. There is plenty to do each round and its not overly complicated. Tiny bit glitchy when cleaning walls or painting.”

“For being mainly, a cleaning simulator where you have to avoid a ghost or choose to banish it somehow, this is not too shabby at all for what it is! Really well worth the money although I got this on a sale for cheaper.…”

“8/10. I absolutely love this game! It’s chaotic, scary, and the perfect kind of cleaning-sim game. The levels are fun and unique, though I do think some of the achievements are a bit rough and obnoxious to get it feels…”

“I absolutely love this game and have played 61 hours so far. It's a great game! However, it feels like the developers have moved on or given up on the game. There have been no updates since they implemented Misery…”
“It might be a horror game but it is quite nice to play. They somehow got the cleaning to feel fun and less like a task and closer feeling to an achievement. For the price especially on sale, it is quite fun with…”
“very fun, wish there were more maps/content. after 8.5 hours theres not much left to do besides replay the same maps on higher difficulties”

“I mean, it's a faster pace than most "ghost" games but it's not really about the ghost. It's about cleanin' that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ house before you die. I love it. I'd play more if everyone didn't have to go to bed.”

— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“This game is really fun with friends, although I wish there were more map content and a bit more to do. It does get a bit repetitive over time.”
