  • gameplay
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Cleaner Company has received mixed reviews, with players noting significant issues such as resolution problems and unresponsive controls, which detract from the experience. While some find the mechanics reminiscent of Viscera Cleanup Detail and appreciate the potential for deeper gameplay with planned features, others criticize the current mechanics as boring and artificially prolonging playtime. Overall, the game shows promise but requires significant improvements to fully engage players.

    • “Very interesting game, similar game mechanics to Crime Scene Cleaner - another great 15-hour game about cleaning :)”
    • “This game has the potential to turn into something good; at the moment, it plays a lot like Viscera Cleanup Detail with a few extra mechanics.”
    • “Playing with friends feels rewarding, and the mechanics are smooth and easy to get into.”
    • “As soon as the game starts, it messes up your resolution and makes it impossible to navigate. The game has poor mechanics and won't even read your input when you click something, even after it has fully released.”
    • “Bad bucket physics and boring mechanics.”
    • “These mechanics (bin issues, alien cleanup, oversized trash) seemed to artificially extend playtime.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players noting that it feels more like a cleaning simulation than a narrative-driven experience. While there are elements of exploration and investigation, the absence of a cohesive storyline or environmental storytelling detracts from the overall experience. Players also report technical issues that further hinder immersion.

    • “Really good cleaning game. Players can find items with advanced tools and investigate places to uncover the story about what happened to them. It can also be played with friends, which makes it even more fun. The concept for the game is interesting.”
    • “Unlike Viscera, it didn't feel like you were playing a 'real' scene. Yes, there were aliens and body parts to clean up, but there was no leading storytelling through the environment or Easter eggs.”
    • “The story aspect of the game adds depth, allowing players to engage with the narrative while they clean up the aftermath of chaotic events.”
    • “No story.”
    • “Unlike Viscera, it didn't feel like you were playing a 'real' scene. Yes, there were aliens and body parts to clean up, but there was no leading storytelling through the environment or Easter eggs, or maybe I was too dumb to find them.”
    • “The story about what happened to them is not well developed, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is currently lacking, with users reporting significant performance issues, including low frame rates (around 42 fps) and frequent drops in the lobby (50-60 fps). While the game shows potential, it is not yet well-optimized, leading to concerns about stability and overall performance.

    • “The second one was much better for the most part when it comes to performance.”
    • “In the lobby, FPS drops to around 50–60 — maybe there’s a cap or something worth checking performance-wise.”
    • “The game has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, what's not working yet is the performance.”
    • “My PC almost crashes and only gets 42 fps; it doesn't seem to be very optimized yet.”
    • “In the lobby, fps drops to around 50–60 — maybe there’s a cap or something worth checking performance-wise.”
  • graphics

    • “And the graphics are just perfect; I hope more content will be updated in the future.”

    • “A very chill game, cool music.”
    • “You’re cleaning up a space station—blood, body parts, trash, all kinds of weird mess—and somehow it’s super relaxing, especially with classical music playing from the jukebox!”
    • “The music feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
    • “The soundtrack is forgettable and doesn't enhance the overall atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The music choices seem out of place and don't match the game's theme, which detracts from the experience.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is enhanced by clean and appealing graphics, complemented by immersive music and sound effects. Players suggest that incorporating light-hearted auto-dialogue from the character could further enrich the experience without disrupting the overall tone.

    • “The graphics are clean and appealing, and the music and sound effects really add to the atmosphere.”
    • “Points 2 & 3 could still work within a casual/funny tone by adding auto-dialogue from the player character – small quips or reactions during tasks would bring personality without breaking the atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking any real depth or immersion.”
    • “While the graphics are clean and appealing, the overall atmosphere fails to engage the player.”
    • “There are moments where the environment feels lifeless, making it hard to stay invested in the game.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively time-consuming, with some suggesting it feels like a second job due to the tedious nature of tasks like tidying up numerous items per level. There are calls for more efficient tools, such as a vacuum, to alleviate the monotony of the grinding process.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “Tidying the trash can be tedious (about 100 items per level); can we have a vacuum?”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game to be highly enjoyable, especially when playing with friends. Suggestions for improvement include incorporating auto-dialogue from the player character to enhance the comedic tone and add personality during gameplay.

    • “This is so satisfying and so funny playing with friends.”
    • “Points 2 & 3 could still work within a casual and funny tone by adding auto-dialogue from the player character – small quips or reactions during tasks would bring personality without breaking the atmosphere.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report experiencing occasional bugs, such as a tutorial door not opening, which can affect gameplay stability. Despite these issues, many players still find the game enjoyable, especially when playing with friends.

    • “Honestly, I did have a lot of fun with my friends, but it was just a little buggy sometimes.”
