https://youtu.be/vyCFqcRS-b0 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.

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

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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1TG7O5_JlQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mv4-93-3w8&feature=youtu.be Another [b]worthless cashgrab[/b] posted on Steam: [h1] PROS [/h1] [list] [*] Prime cannon fodder for the indie horror Youtube community. [/list] [h1] CONS [/h1] [list] [*] No story. [*] No collectibles or meaningul interactions with the environment. [*] Nothing happens in the game, apart from having to outrun the monster. [*] Dumb, cheating(goes through doors), non-scary enemy. [*] Can't see 60% of the map, because the flashlight is useless. [*] Assorted technical glitches. [/list] There's no point in playing this "game" unless you're a masochist or would like to play it ironically on your Youtube channel.

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!!!!

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. ~Sincerely, The Fuboo

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

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. https://youtu.be/_dlanu3MnbQ

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. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1984497416 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. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1984497389 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: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1984497363 So getting past the visual, we have our bad [strike]guy[/strike] 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.

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!
