Viscera Cleanup Detail
In Viscera Cleanup Detail, you step into the boots of a space-station janitor tasked with cleaning up after various horrific sci-fi horror events. Instead of machineguns and plasma-rifles, your tools are a mop and bucket. That hero left a mess, and it's up to you to deal with the aftermath.

“I like maps and aesthetics, but sadly this is 10+ years old game and it shows with clunky game mechanics and awkward UI. It's cheap, but it's not as good as crime scene cleaner.”
“i thought this was gonna be some horrorish jumpscare full game lol. it is not, most maps are eerie but nothing more. some maps are incredibly frustrating if you have bullets around because they are super small and…”

“put on a video in the background, sat to do a level, i didn't even notice that i spent like 30 minutes! Genuinely, the only problem is not being able to tab out with the Windows key but i think it's a me problem. Good,…”
“This game is bliss for anyone who likes cleaning and disposing of dead bodies and putting things where they belong. Also burning all sorts of stuff in the incinerator has major Little Inferno vibes. 10 out of ten, would…”
“for a game with so much blood and guts its surprisingly relaxing, the workshop community gives it infinite playability too so there's no limit to gameplay even after you go through the 100+ hours time commitment to…”

“Throughout my time playing this game I at first didnt like it, however it slowly grew on me, becoming one of my favourite games that I went on to 100 percent, incredibly fun solo or with friends, interesting story…”
“this game can be crazy glitchy especially if your throwing around the objects with physics so i definitely recommend being careful with creating too many assets for the game to handle but otherwise i find myself just…”

“This game is older yes, but crime scene cleaner is so much better. After playing a lot of cleaning sims, this one is extremely aggravating for the simple fact being every item breaks.. a lot.... you need a garbage bin?…”

“Love the game, but being myself a lone wolf player, I wish this game had a Less Annoyance option, because it’s so frustrating having to finish a level with every tool working against you. Game is good though.”

“I looked up an information how to when I realised this game didn't have a tutorial which honestly is just like working most jobs these days so I'm not surprised. However now this is my go-to destresser game, I can clean…”
“It's kinda fun the only downside is that this is the PETTIEST game I have ever seen seriously you get demoted for missing a singular chip bag on the floor "you did the bare minimum" I HAVE BEEN CLEANING HUMAN SLUDGE OFF…”

— a player, Steam review · 33 hrs played“What an absolute hidden gem! This game was so far ahead of its time- in the current party game era I think it would've done extremely well. Although its a bit older, the level design, storybuilding, art, and game mechanics feel fresh and fun. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed…”

It’s a very funny concept for a video game, and considering that the genre didn’t really exist at the time of creation, it gets a lot of things right. The map design is varied and often fits thematically, with some fun references I…”
