Steam reviews

What players say

Recent and helpful reviews are mostly positive about the relaxing cleaning, but many report crashes and launch failures, so opinion is split.

Reviews from the last year are more mixed than Steam's overall totals. Many players enjoy the cleaning itself: scrubbing blood, moving bodies, disposing of rubbish and collecting evidence feels hands-on and relaxing, and the dark humour and voice acting win fans. Some players find the collectibles hard to spot and want hints, while others ask for keybinds, a save option, or looser limits on bins and garbage bags. Several reviewers say the camera movement and bobbing cause nausea or eye strain. Many negative reviews describe the game crashing on launch or freezing during the intro or loading, and some say it runs poorly on modest hardware. A few also find the prologue too short or lacking consequences for sloppy work.

Praised

  • Satisfying, relaxing cleaning

    Players enjoy the hands-on work of scrubbing blood, sweeping and moving bodies, which feels calming and rewarding.

    Many players
  • Dark humour and atmosphere

    Players like the morbid premise, the funny tone, the good voice acting and the intriguing story hints.

    Some players
  • Stealing from crime scenes

    Pocketing valuables from the scenes is a favourite element for several reviewers, adding a playful layer to the cleaning.

Criticised

  • Crashes and failure to launch

    Reviewers say the game crashes on startup, during the intro or at certain spots, making it unplayable for them.

    Many players
  • Performance on modest hardware

    Players report lag, overheating and heavy GPU load, even on low graphics settings.

    Some players
  • No save option

    Players who play in short sessions say the lack of a save function is frustrating, especially since progress is lost when the game crashes.

    A few players
  • Camera motion and nausea

    Camera bobbing and quick turns cause motion sickness or eye strain for some players, and settings do not always help.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy relaxing, hands-on cleaning sims with dark humour and who can run the game without crashes.
Who should skip it
Should skip it if the game crashes on your PC, you are prone to motion sickness, or you want a long, consequence-heavy experience.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with short sessions mostly report crashes and missing saves, while those who played longer praise the cleaning and mention hidden collectibles.
