About This Game

The Janitor is a first person horror game. You play as a janitor, called Max Taylor, who is send to an asylum by his boss to repair a broken pipe and a broken electric panel. Max knows that the asylum is abandoned, but he isn't feeling bad about going there although his boss warned him not stay to long there. Once arrived he quickly notices that something is wrong. Blood everywhere and strange noises can be heard. Short time after looking around a went-wrong experiment of the government rushes to him.

Max has to worry about his life while trying to escape the asylum - but there is one problem: The elevator is broken! Max hurries to find some tools and machine parts to repair the hydraulic pump.

As soon as the elevator is repaired he has to look into the eyes of danger again! His only chance to escape is to jump down the elevator shaft. Max Taylor is wounded and unconscious. Right after waking up he finds himself in huge underground catacombs. Hunted by fear and the went-wrong experiment he has to find the exit!

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!

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 stu...

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.

Wow, just wow. You know, I have played many horror games in my life and let me just tell you.... this has got to be the best one. Gameplay is smooth. Graphics are great. Very "interactive". The went-wrong experiment is so well made. Through out the entire game, I was scared for my "live". It was so cool to play as a janitor fixing an elevator. I have been studying to be a janitor since I was 5, and after this terrifying experience, I can honestly say I might have to reconsider my career choice. It has truly been an honor to play as Max Taylor. Although this game has gotten very negative reviews, I wish VOS Gaming a nice anyway! Greetings
