We're all quite happy to blast our way through thousands of zombies/demons/humans in first-person shooters, leaving (en)trails of destruction, blood and giblets in our wake, but have you ever spared a thought for what happens to all that mess once the level is finished? No, of course you didn't. The answer is that it's some poor guy's or gal's job to clean up after you, which is the focus of this oddly therapeutic little gem. As the janitor of a vast space station, you need to grab your mop-and-bucket, shovel, and your finest pair of marigolds, and get to work on cleaning up the carnage after some hero rampaged hid way through it. It's not glamorous work, but it pays the bills and 'someone's gotta do it'. And that's essentially it - no killing, no explosions, just cleaning. Kind of like the Truck Simulators, it's a game that relishes the mundane, though it can also quickly turn chaotic when you play with your friends locally or online. Both of you may be working rigorously to clean up a level, then just as your friend is using the scanner to check for any leftover bloodstains, the 10-year-old brat awakens in you and you kick a limb-filled bucket over, causing it to spill all over the floor. If you're not someone who gets satisfaction out of making dirty, splattered things clean and shiny again, then this one might not be for you, but clean freaks will rejoice that a game has finally stepped up to satisfy their obsession.
