Very few games try the most amazing and daring things you've ever seen in a game and I've always loved the Indie and Mod scene for this very reason. It allows devs to 'cut loose' and try out whatever they want. Today I grabbed a bucket and tried out Viscera Cleanup Detail, the latest in gore-splattered cleaning simulators.
If you've ever played games like Dead Space, Resident Evil or one of the many other bloody and gory games out there, you know they leave a lot of mess. Blood splatters everywhere, giblets fly in all directions from your explosives and never mind about the various boxes and barrels being scattered like leaves in autumn on a windy day. Now you can take responsibility for your actions and actually clean up all that mess.
Viscera Cleanup Detail is exactly that. After a recent alien incursion aboard a space station is thwarted by a single stubborn and heroic survivor; to meet all safety and cleanliness requirements, you have been assigned a small section of the station to clean it spotless. Take your mop, bucket and trusty gloves and mop up all that blood, making sure you don't forget throw all those spent ammo shells and leftover body bits in the furnace.
It's still in ALPHA, so they are planning to add more to the game, but it is quite playable at the moment. I cleaned up in about 40 minutes, though I didn't get around to burning all the leftover boxes and metal plates. Cleaning isn't hard, nor is it that tedious. In fact, it's just the right amount of work without it feeling like a chore, with a few 'wtf' moments along the way.
