About

Take in the trash...

Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor is an anti-adventure game about picking up trash in an alien bazaar. Play as the Janitor, an Alaensee girlbeast with a municipally-subsidized trash incineration job and dreams of leaving the planet of Xabran's Rock far behind her.

Explore the Spaceport! Navigate the maze of alleyways, side streets, plazas, and bridges as you search for discarded items to burn. Investigate one of various entrances to the mysterious subterranean sewerdungeon, or climb the ominously symmetrical Ziggurat to get a better view of the urban landscape! If you pay attention and keep track of landmarks, you won't get lost... probably.

Embrace routine! Spend your days cleaning up litter, finding food, and testing your luck at lottoshrines scattered throughout the area. Daily tasks form the backbone of your life as the Janitor, providing structure and monotonous security in an uncertain world! Do not deviate from your routine. Pray, work, eat, sleep. Do not deviate from your routine.

Suffer the Curse! Stick your scentflaps where you shouldn't, and you may just walk away with an ancient cranial entity haunting your every waking moment! Consult local Necresses, pray to the Nine Goddesses, purchase ritual objects, and rub the giant sword to balance your personal luck favorably! Maybe that will make the whispering stop!

Embark on an anti-adventure! Find a middle ground between your life of menial drudgery and a culture of exciting quests and powerful heroes, and you might finally find a way off Xabran's Rock!

    A sarcastic Anti-adventure, in the same Category as "Papers please," but friendlier. You have typical Expectations for Adventure games, all of Which are reversed here. Without giving Any concrete away to Spoilers: This Game is about Recognizing false Ferries as irrelevant to the progress of the Game. To anticipate common Questions:-There is no German Localization. All important Dialogues are in writing in English, and you have unlimited Time to Translate. What you hear are fantasy Languages you don't need to understand. -There are no "Gender Roles" in Gameplay (despite the visible Word "Gender" in Screenshots)-There are no Fights, it's an Adventure Game. Cons:-Not exactly the Epitome of Fun and Action-Endless loop of Noise Cullise (BLAAA!) -Intentionally psychedelic & disorientating-Leise booked Settings advantages:-Clear main and Side Missions-Bunter minimalist cyberpunk pixel style-Krasse alien stick Figures, ey-Charmante world and Figures, E.g. great Street musicians Tip, When You become seekrank: Set the Sound, activate Color Sensitivity, and take More breaks. (Actually, it's a pity to give such Advice at a Game.) Spaceport Janitor gets limited green Light from me for successfully amusing me for several Hours. But I wouldn't make a General Recommendation. Check out a Let's Play Beforehand, whether such a paradoxical Routine Game is Your Thing.

    Wait a minute? I have a Skull as a Pet ... And he always roars at me ... Ooops, it's a Curse! A very interesting Game. I was captivated by the old, colorful nineties Style. It's a Game like I Think it should be: Quickly loaded, the Main Menu (Start, how does that work?, Exit), the Rest explains itself in the Game by itself. With a "mobile Waste Incinerator?" You are on your way to the Space port to clean up. The Rubbish lying around here and there is very different. Valuable Waste is therefore better packed into the Backpack, because it can be done with it. At the End of the Working Day, you take the Valuable Things with you to the Caretaker's small Apartment. But you also have to sleep, eat, take medical care and ... Gender Switches??! No matter I take things at games like that Just the way they are. Here's a little Day'S Run in the Game ... Because I just can't describe a better/other way: My Skull roars me awake ... It's Oneday, or Theday? I go to my Watering Box and take a few Items to Act, I'm Hungry, I let myself pay off my Credits at "PrayStation" for yesterday's burnt rubbish, my Skull Roars again ... Like sweet, I got used to it, I go out, wipe Kotze away, collect Waste paper, want to buy something to eat ... Too expensive, I find a Fruit in the Garbage ... I eat the Fruit ... That was ne 'stupid Idea ... Everything deforms, everything is waving, I'm bad ... Fast to The Pharmacy Vending machine, I need Credits, no Retailer wants my Stuff ... And there are so many Things to Act on, I find a Deity, I starve, I find a FressAutomaten, Keep Collecting rubbish, acting, not acting, Oh ... An important Piece of information, now I get tired of following the yellow Arrows, off to Bed, Entry in the Diary ... And my Skull roars, ... Tomorrow I have to break the Curse ... If you are into something like that, I can only recommend the Game. In any case, I have had my Fun until now, is just something else ...:-)
