How it feels

You clean a dim, empty high school at night, your unease growing with each locked door and strange sound, as the mundane routine of mopping and vacuuming slowly gives way to the creeping certainty that something is very wrong.

What players say

Players are split on Night Janitor: some praise its late-shift atmosphere and slow-burn dread, while others say it relies too much on cheap jumpscares and finicky pixel-hunting tasks. The story has a nice reveal, but tasks like scrubbing tables can be tedious.
