Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor

i just like to wander around i dont really know what im doing at all. good vibes though

why play this when you can just get a real retail/service job that makes you want to kill yourself just the same? peak dystopia to sit in your room and play a grindy dead end job simulator game

I was able to change my gender to Wizard GOTY

Its a great game overall its just such a wasted potential of including gender politics in this. Im sorry but if in a sci-fi setting therers no cure for this stupid "mechanicks" of "needing" to genderswapp is totally ruins the wibe of the game. Makes you lose money constantly buying drugs like i couknt live withouth it in real life, let alone in game, and worst of all, it ads zero content arround it other than being annoying. Im sad that this game has to be incuding this stupid idealogy when i just want to enjoy the wibes. Now i see why not many pepole playd this game.

what a gem. this reminds me of the reason why i love indie games

Play it for the vibes.

It's an interesting idea with a nice start, but after the first hour, it quickly overstays its welcome and becomes an RNG grindfest. --- It starts off very disorienting as the area is too big and maze-like to warrant having no map. Once you get into the flow of things, you will slowly be harassed by an invisible hunger bar, invisible gender bar, invisible goddess favor, guys with red scarves that like to randomly eat large sums of your money, and an invisible stamina bar (your incinerator energy goes down with both time AND usage, so you're punished for not using it, and you're punished for using it too much). In the meantime, there is very little for you to do other than follow quests that like to suddenly make you aware of important items that just moments ago you had already incinerated or sold. Don't worry, you can find them again... given enough days and RNG dice rolls. You can't "lose", but you can certainly waste hours of your time making zero progress. I don't know, apparently that's supposed to be different. Most of the game feels pointless to play, which on one hand feels like it's making a fair point about being poor with mental health problems in real life. On the other hand, though, it makes that point badly and unrealistically with purple skin and alien nonsense. It doesn't work. In this game, among all of my other problems, the only real reason I'm poor is because some guy just took 3/4ths of all of my cash, not because my job doesn't pay me enough or society is keeping me down. It's really just that one guy keeping me down. You CAN amass money fairly easily as long as you don't buy expensive food, don't incinerate useful items, and do your job as a janitor well. You can't die from sickness, so you don't have to spend money to treat it. So... you should have money. You just don't because strangers with guns keep walking up and eating it. In essence, every part of the game has been made as frustrating to deal with as possible, but without making any of it exciting or interesting, which is pretty amazing when you think about it. Yeah, the resulting game kind of sucks, but did you ever imagine all the nothing you could be doing as a spaceport janitor? Picking up trash, having your backpack incinerator run out of energy, and then just walking around being kind-of-hungry with nothing to do? I don't think you should buy this, even on sale. Most of the fun is in the visuals and dialogue, while the game itself is very repetitive, so I would recommend simply watching someone else play this.

What is this? Literally picking up garbage... garbage game. Boring and repetitive. I couldn't keep playing it after 10 minutes.
