In Viscera Cleanup Detail, you step into the boots of a space-station janitor tasked with cleaning up after various horrific sci-fi horror events. Instead of machineguns and plasma-rifles, your tools are a mop and bucket. That hero left a mess, and it's up to you to deal with the aftermath.

Updated to v1.075

Howdy!

We've all been down and out with flu the last two weeks, hence the delay, but we have a small update this week to fix a couple issues. Read on!

    Maps:
  • Fixed glitchy Medkit on the wall near bin machine in Incubation Emergency.
  • Changed average length estimate for Incubation Emergency from 2 hours to 3 hours.
  • Fixed "Military" being a valid answer for Incubation Emergency's punchout report forms, as there was no military presence.

    Game:
  • The "Secret Item" that burns and melts stuff now also burns Creep and Biomass.
  • Fixed mouse cursor being frozen, usually upon entering the "Options Menu".
  • Fixed P.I.Ds with random names coming out blank on the punchout report forms if the P.I.Ds are from a loaded save-game.

    UI:
  • Fixed Debriefing screen stamp showing "Granted" in the event that you make a truly terrible mess, instead of "Company Liquidated".

    Shadow Warrior:
  • Shadow Warrior Briefcase lid no longer gets duplicated upon returning it to the office.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Update v1.07 live!

Hey hey!

Well, we finally got here! V1.07 is quite the update, bringing with it some large additions, including many fixes, a whole new map with new gameplay challenges, the VCD: Shadow Warrior has been merged in and some new songs for the Big Banger (and by extension, the Soundtrack)!


Read on for a list of the changes:

    Maps:
  • Added new Incubation Emergency level!
  • Replaced the Front End level with something new.
  • Greatly reduced the chances of Players falling through the floors in Paintenance Tunnels.
  • Optimized Hydroponic Hell.
  • Added Cascaded Shadows to Overgrowth, allowing dynamic shadows on all the plants.
  • Fixed levers in Evil Science not using the "Pull Down" hand animation.
  • Fixed P.I.D of the body in Evil Science near the surgery stating it was eviscerated, despite there being no signs.
  • Fixed Evil Science Dr. Mord's P.I.D wrongly counting as shot and murdered, instead of slain and dismembered.

    Game:
  • Added a "Debriefing" screen that appears after punching-out to clearly show if you're fired or not.
  • Added 3 new songs to the Big Banger!
  • Added some water footstep sounds.
  • The J-HARM no longer jams in Speedrun mode.
  • Fixed an issue that caused Report Accuracy and scoring to be slightly skewed by levels that don't use all the boxes on the Punchout Incident Report paperwork.
  • Fixed the Janitor trunk sometimes duplicating and/or keeping trophies incorrectly between spin-offs and when repeatedly punching out of the same saved game session.
  • Added a "Trophy Backup" save system that saves a time-stamped backup of your trophies everytime you punch-out to the office. In-case something goes wrong.
  • Fixed some issue causing the later Achievements(Santa, House of Horror) to not always be unlocked.
  • Changed mop-drip particles.
  • Fixed spare mop objects(such as the ones in the Janitor Office) counting as mess.
  • Fixed an issue that sometimes caused an ininite-loop crash during startup if the movies are not skipped.
  • Fixed(hopefully) an issue that sometimes caused an ininite-loop crash after loading a saved game in which lots of footprints were clustered together.

    Multiplayer:
  • Made a change that 'may' help Steam MP Connectivity(in "Cancelled Connection Attempt" cases).
  • Fixed an issue causing players to be unable to join servers hosting Original VCD levels unless they also had the House of Horror DLC.
  • Fixed the Janitor Trunk lid not being attached to the trunk itself on clients.
  • Fixed an annoying bug on clients that caused objects picked up for the first time to do some ugly physics snapping.
  • Added an "Official Content Only" option to the "Game Rules" menu to allow servers to avoid certain Workshop dependency issues, and accept connections from stock VCD players.
  • The Big Banger now bounces more smoothly on clients, instead of the sticky motions it had before.

    UI:
  • Improved the volume balance of menu music.
  • Fixed an issue causing the Join Menu to add empty search results.
  • Added "Note Zoom Scale" setting to options menu to allow you to improve paper Note and PDA readability.
  • Decreased size of level description area on the game's map selection Menu.
  • Limited server names to 34 characters.
  • Improved the composition of the mid-game menu logos.
  • Increased the character limit on punch-out report form boxes, and changed their font.
  • Filtered out save files you can't load because you're using the wrong spin-off in the map selection Menu.
  • Limited the number of Punchout Reports shown on the Viewing Screen in the office to 100, to prevent crashing.
  • Added "Menu Sensitivity" setting to controls menu, allowing you to increase the mouse sensitivity used while in the game's menus.
  • Added a "Footprint Limit" setting to the Game Rules menu, allowing you to limit their creation.
  • Fixed "Global Radio" setting not taking effect at level load.
  • Reordered map list, making Athena's Wrath the default.

    Horror DLC:
  • Added the missing P.I.D for the guy on the back porch.

    Santa's Rampage:
  • Fixed "Stuffed Dolls" not counting as Christmas items.
  • Fixed company notice notes being listed as from "Aerospace Sanitation" instead of "Polar Sanitation".
  • Changed the way Molotovs behave; they now have to be lit before they can explode.

    Workshop:
  • Added the "Level Inventory" and "Level Voice Controller" settings to the Map Info object, allowing level creators to give players different tools and the SW voice.
  • Added Santa and Shadow Warrior objects to "Plopper" tool.
  • Added additional bounce pattern system to Big Banger, allowing you to define more detail for songs.
  • Fixed News Ticker not scrolling if the first item isn't long enough.
  • Fixed News Ticker overrides using blank colours by default.
  • Added a "bIsCollectible" variable to all physics objects, allowing you to decide if the Janitor trunk can take it with or not.
  • Added VCTrigger actor, allows you to change the hand animation played for "Use" triggers.

Whew!

Incubation Emergency:

Reviews

“You know what I really love about violence? Dealing with the consequences! That’s why I’m so excited to see that Viscera Cleanup Detail, the space station janitor simulation, is now available on Steam Early Access.”
PCGamer

“By setting its mundane stall in the days after events that would be taken oh-so-seriously in another game, Viscera Cleanup Detail manages to be morbidly hilarious without ever telling a single joke.”
EuroGamer

About This Game

Disaster! An alien invasion and subsequent infestation have decimated this facility. Many lives were lost, the facility was ruined and the aliens were unstoppable. All hope was lost until one survivor found the courage to fight back and put the aliens in their place!
It was a long and horrific battle as the survivor dueled with all manner of terrifying life-forms and alien mutations, but our hero won out in the end and destroyed the alien menace! Humanity was saved!

Unfortunately, the alien infestation and the heroic efforts of the courageous survivors have left rather a mess throughout the facility. As the janitor, it is your duty to get this place cleaned up.
So grab your mop and roll up your sleeves, this is gonna be one messy job.
Today, you're on Viscera Cleanup Detail!

Key Features


  • Janitorial Simulation - Step into the boots of a space-station sanitation technician and deal with the horrific aftermath of a sci-fi horror event. Blood, viscera, spent cartridges, worker bodies and other messes litter the facilities.
  • Clean - It's your job to clean up the mess, so clean it up you shall! Use your trusty mop, gloves, dispenser machines, plasma laser and sniffer tool to help you get all that blood out of the floor and off the ceiling! You can even try and punch-out if you think you've done your job.
  • Sandbox Gameplay - Don't want to clean? Just want to make more of a mess and play around with the physics? Go ahead! You can save your game as well; that's kind of us!
  • Multiplayer - You can even enlist some friends/coworkers to come and help you clean up (or make even more mess). Split-screen co-op is available too!

Important:

Buying Viscera Cleanup Detail also gets you our spin-off titles, 'VCD: Shadow Warrior' and 'Santa's Rampage' free!
Santa's Rampage comes included in the main game download AND as a standalone copy you can use to connect with others who only own Santa's Rampage.

Great fun at times, but seriously flawed.

+ Lots of maps/content
+ Workshop maps
+ Surprisingly fun and satisfying to clean
- Glitchy physics
- Some FPS issues depending on map
- Incredibly annoying to clean last few messes (sometimes have to rely on cheats just to 100% complete a map)

Would still recommend if you can get it on sale.

Detests manual labor: finds a cleaning simulator amusing.
Spills mop water, cleans it up and rinses mop in game: could not be bothered irl.
The human mind never ceases to amaze.
7/10
Would procrastinate again.

Whoever would've guessed, before this game ever came out, that a janitoral simulation could be so damn fun? Certainly not me.

This game gives me a whole new appreciation for real life janitors. They are the unsung heroes, folks. Seriously. If you see one in real life, be glad that they are willing to do a job (for crappy pay I might add) that the majority of us wouldn't want to do, and treat them kindly.

Anyway, you can't go wrong with this game. Single-player is fine, but it's more fun with other people.

If you have OCD, then you will worship this game! In fact, you will probably cry every time you leave your house because you will miss this game when you're out! If that does happen, then you should not buy it because I don't want you to cry. :(

Living in the day and age where brutal gore filled shoot-em-up games are common. From large scale battles, to mass homicides leaving mutilated corpses behind. In those games, the bodies just stay there and we progress on with the game, never really stopped to think.... whos gunna clean this ♥♥♥♥ up.
Well thats where Viscera Cleanup Detail shines! Spend hours cleaning up after the horrific murders, accidents, mutations and mutilations. Each level walking into another scene of just dismembered humans and other monsters, thrown about with their insides skewn everywhere.
Burn all the bodies, stack all the crates, mop up the floors! Even make a bucket pyramid. Viscera cleanup detail is even better with a friend! You and your friends can listen to the royalty free weird retro punk music provided via the radio. Dont like the music? Burn the radio too!
Everything in viscera is just pure fun and amazing.... Until you knock over the bucket. ♥♥♥♥ you for knocking over my buckets.

This game is VERY enjoyable, however I only find it enjoyable when you play it with friends. I could see solo being good for some people, but for me I don't really like it and it just gets boring. The game is also very good for someone who likes the JOY of cleaning a HUGE mess up and making the place sparkly clean!

At the games current state, I would recommend it to anyone who loves to play with their friends and to anyone who just genuinely likes to clean, and get that satisfaction feeling! I rate it a 7/10. 👍

There's something oddly satisfying about this game. There's no enemies to run from and/or kill, there's no time limit (unless you set one for yourself), hell there's not even any music. The game just revolves around you as a janitor, simply cleaning up some horrible accidents. Mopping up blood and other stuff, disposing of body parts and organs inside of an incinerator, and putting down the customary "Caution! Wet Floor!" signs. It may sound boring, but once you start you almost find yourself in a Zen-like trance. You want to keep playing to make sure everything is just right before you say you've finished the job. The only real major problem I have with the game is the pyshics. Knocking over your bucket or biohazard bin with just the slightest touch (even happens with a single bullet shell casing) is beyond frustrating. It's not enough to make the game unplayable, but will get even the most patient of players to drop an F bomb. A solid 7 out of 10.
