    Gameplay in "Ghost Janitors" offers a fun and challenging co-op experience with intuitive task and monster mechanics, though some find it repetitive and lacking depth compared to similar titles like Phasmophobia. The game features randomized elements and active developer support that keep gameplay fresh, but critics note a need for more varied ghost mechanics and improvements to avoid monotony. Overall, it balances spooky atmosphere and teamwork-driven tension, making it enjoyable especially with friends despite some pacing and originality concerns.

    • “The core gameplay loop revolves around entering haunted environments and completing cleaning or maintenance objectives while managing escalating supernatural threats.”
    • “Its blend of task-based gameplay with escalating supernatural danger creates a distinctive dynamic that feels fresh within a crowded field of ghost-hunting titles.”
    • “The gameplay loop is really good, the sound quality is a standout feature adding a lot to the game's harrowing atmosphere, and the randomized elements coupled with the monster's AI do a lot for its replayability.”
    • “Gameplay is boring, there's no horror build-up, just cheap jumpscares, and many assets and maps feel straight up ripped from Phasmophobia.”
    • “Cheap scares that only work once and quickly become not scary at all; repetitive gameplay; asset flipper; worth .30 cents at best.”
    • “The monsters weren't scary whatsoever and the gameplay felt very slow.”

Overall, the humor enhances replayability and is praised for generating memorable, comedic moments alongside scares.

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    8% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 92% negative mentions

    The game's stability is mixed, with many users encountering frequent bugs and glitches such as freezing, faulty ghost appearances, and unresponsive light switches. While it generally runs well and offers an enjoyable experience, these technical issues disrupt gameplay and detract from its overall polish.

    • “Or it brings you straight back to the main menu and freezes.”

    • “This is a lot of problems and glitches in every round for a first playthrough and does not present well for the game.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally described as decent and atmospheric, with effective use of lighting and shadows that enhance the spooky ambiance. While not highly detailed or spectacular, the visuals are considered functional and accessible for players with less powerful PCs. Opinions vary, with some finding them good and fitting, while others see them as inferior compared to similar titles.

    • “The graphics are cool and the sound effects make everything even spookier.”
    • “But the graphics are decent I admit... so it can be playable for people who don't have powerful PCs, which is a positive for the game!”
    • “Very bad and graphics are really bad.”
    • “Technically, Ghost Janitors delivers a functional experience that prioritizes gameplay over graphical spectacle.”
    • “Visuals are atmospheric rather than hyper-detailed, with lighting and shadow effects carrying much of the aesthetic weight.”

  • replayability

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The game offers solid replayability driven by randomized elements and varied progression, making each playthrough unique and engaging. While highly enjoyable, especially with friends, some users note limited map and ghost variety may reduce long-term replay value. Overall, the dynamic gameplay loop and atmosphere contribute positively to repeat play.

    • “This randomness sustains replay value and ensures that no two runs unfold identically.”
    • “The gameplay loop is really good, the sound quality is a standout feature adding a lot to the game's harrowing atmosphere, and the randomized elements coupled with the monster's AI do a lot for its replayability.”
    • “The items you collect are random and it adds a lot of replayability.”
    • “We got good laughs for an hour and could get a few more, but the replayability is severely lacking. There are only 5 maps that unlock as you level up after around 4 hours of play, and only about 6 ghosts.”
    • “Can't wait for more progression in the game to add more replayability.”
    • “The gameplay loop is really good, and randomized elements coupled with the monster's AI contribute to replayability, but overall more variety is needed.”

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The story in the game shows promise and could be enhanced with more maps, ghosts, and a dedicated story mode to enrich the experience. While the narrative elements add intrigue, some users find the game challenging for beginners and suggest easier modes with fewer tasks. Overall, the story contributes to the game's intense atmosphere but could benefit from additional collectibles or lore to deepen player engagement.

    • “"Ghost Janitors" is a masterful blend of horror and action, featuring stunning visuals, intense gameplay, and an engaging story that keeps you on edge from start to finish.”
    • “Has potential to be even better, most ghosts and maps needed, maybe a story mode would be fun.”
    • “And perhaps some collectables aside from objectives, for instance to learn the story of a crime or the ghost/demon of the map?”
    • “This isn't a beginner-friendly game; the 'easy' mode needs serious scaling, like significantly fewer tasks to do. This is supposed to be beginner-friendly mode, but I barely completed one mission.”
    • “And perhaps some collectibles aside from objectives, for instance to learn the story of a crime or the ghost/demon of the map?”
    • “No story.”

  • optimization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, causing high GPU usage and long loading times even in solo play. Users have called for better performance improvements, including official support and optimization for devices like the Steam Deck.

    • “In solo play, there should be almost zero issues loading a map, demonstrating excellent optimization.”
    • “Completing contracts and surviving encounters unlocks additional maps, cosmetic options, and perks that slightly enhance performance.”
    • “Some official support and optimization for the Steam Deck would be very helpful.”
    • “Not optimized.”
    • “Only problem is that it eats away on my GPU; please have better optimization.”
    • “What could this game possibly be rendering, bro? Needs optimization badly.”

  • grinding

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 80% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious and repetitive, with expensive items and restrictive leveling requiring multiple slow runs. While occasional fun with friends, the overall experience feels tedious, glitchy, and often frustrating for solo play.

    • “Items could be less expensive, and leveling restrictions could be easier (we had to run multiple speedruns that just felt like farming until we unlocked the final level).”
    • “Rolling randomly to get the mode has become quite tedious for us.”
    • “Kinda fun for a few minutes with friends, but otherwise boring, glitchy, and tedious.”

  • emotional

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
