Viscera Cleanup Detail gets squeaky clean thanks to Steam Early Access
Viscera Cleanup Detail is now on Steam Early Access, allowing intrepid would-be space janitors the chance to shine (and polish, and scrub, and mop). Being an Early Access game, it has its share of issues and warnings. Developer RuneStorm cautions potential buyers that the game has network troubles and that everything is subject to change, and no feature is safe from the chopping block. If that doesn't scare you away however, you can buy Viscera Cleanup Detail for $7.99. RuneStorm notes that the price will increase down the road, so if you want to save some money and go for the metaphorical fixer-upper car over the shiny new one, Early Access may be for you. It's true, nothing cleans up blood and viscera off your floors, walls and PC quite like steam. Erm, not that we would know, officers. [Image: RuneStorm]
Steam gives Satellite Reign, 7 Days to Die and others the Greenlight
The latest round of Steam Greenlight-approved games is headlined by a few Kickstarter successes, perhaps most notably the only-recently-funded Satellite Reign. The Syndicate Wars-inspired real-time strategy title achieved around $611K in backing, and now heads to Valve's portal alongside open-world zombie horror 7 Days to Die and 70s sci-fi god game Maia. 7 Days to Die even-more-recently achieved its Kickstarter goal of $200K and still has six days of its campaign to go, while Maia from indie dev Simon Roth, self-described as Dwarf Fortress meets Dungeon Keeper, was funded on Kickstarter late last year. Other highlights from the round of 15 include The Novelist, in which you play a ghost who observes and shapes the lives of a family, the re-release of 90s horror The 7th Guest, sci-fi janitorial sim (yes really) Viscera Cleanup Detail, and another Kickstarter success in Nekro, which mixes Diablo-style gameplay with the charming art of necromancy. We've got the full list of newly Greenlit games after the break.
Viscera Cleanup Detail is the next ridiculous game you'll have to play
Viscera Cleanup Detail points out a longstanding social implication buried within some of our favorite shooters: Who cleans up the blood, guts and flesh left behind by our violent rampages through facilities invaded by hostile aliens? In this game, it's you. Viscera Cleanup Detail is a first-person space-based janitor simulator, starring you as a rubber-gloved person tasked with cleaning up the remnants of an epic battle, including chunks of meat, pools of blood and bullet shells. It comes out of a 10-day game jam from developer Runestorm, and it's available in alpha for PC right now. "It was a long and horrific battle as the survivor dueled with all manner of horrific life-forms and alien mutations, but our hero won out in the end and destroyed the alien menace!" Runestorm writes. "Humanity was saved! Unfortunately, the alien infestation and the heroic efforts of the courageous survivors have left rather a mess thoughout the facility. As the janitor, it is your duty to get this place cleaned up." Viscera Cleanup Detail hopes it can clear away a spot on Steam Greenlight.%Gallery-193617%
