[b]Introduction :[/b] Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor est un simulateur de ramassage d'ordures développé par Sundae Month et sorti en 2016. On y incarne un agent d'entretien alien, coincé dans le spatioport de Xabran's Rock, qui passe ses journées à incinérer des déchets pour gagner de quoi manger et payer son loyer. C'est un jeu sur la routine, la précarité et les petites échappatoires qu'on s'invente. [b]Ce que j'ai aimé :[/b] [list] [*]🛸 La direction artistique est magnifique : pixel art en 3D isométrique, palette de couleurs saturée, un spatioport grouillant d'une variété de vie extraterrestre franchement dingue. Rien que se balader dedans vaut le détour [*]🎧 L'ambiance sonore et le sound design font énormément pour l'immersion, le marché devient un vrai lieu vivant plutôt qu'un décor [*]🧠 Le propos est plus fin qu'il n'y paraît. Plusieurs critiques ont souligné à quel point le jeu réussit à parler de galère quotidienne, de dysphorie et du sentiment d'être étranger à son environnement, sans jamais être lourd [*]🔮 Les petits systèmes annexes (les objets maudits, les cartes de tarot, les distributeurs, les rituels du marché) créent une vraie superstition de joueur, on finit par développer ses propres habitudes [*]💭 Le jeu trouve de la beauté dans le banal, et c'est rare de voir ça traité avec autant de sincérité [/list] [b]Ce que j'ai moins aimé :[/b] [list] [*]🔁 La boucle de gameplay est ultra répétitive, et c'est le principal reproche de la presse : l'essentiel du jeu consiste à ramasser des déchets et à les brûler, en boucle [*]📉 L'enthousiasme des premières heures retombe assez vite une fois qu'on a fait le tour des mécaniques, il n'y a pas vraiment de progression pour relancer l'intérêt [*]🚶 Les déplacements sont lents et l'inventaire minuscule, ce qui multiplie les allers-retours inutiles [*]🎯 Il n'y a pas d'objectif clair, ce qui est un choix assumé mais qui laissera pas mal de joueurs sur le carreau [/list] [b]Conclusion :[/b] Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor n'est clairement pas un jeu pour tout le monde, et je comprends parfaitement ceux qui le trouvent creux. Mais si on accepte de le prendre pour ce qu'il est — une expérience contemplative sur la routine et la survie, portée par une direction artistique superbe — il laisse une trace durable. Je le recommande à ceux qui cherchent autre chose qu'un jeu avec des objectifs et une barre de progression, et je le déconseille formellement à ceux qui veulent de l'action ou du contenu à abattre. [b]Note :[/b] ★★★☆☆

I think it would benefit a lot with some more qol features. A separate button to insta-pickup & incinerate for example. And a map would've been nice. Pretty chill game though. 6/10
Nothing good except tons of junk to pick up.
오나스 디자인 예뻐요. 정말 오랜만에 제대로 탐험한다는 느낌이 들었습니다. 근데 그 탐험이 반쯤 생존이라서 긴장감도 있고 좋았어요. 솔직한 심정으로는 지도 있었으면 그저그런 노가다 쯔꾸르 같을뻔 했는데 지도 없어서 즐거웠네요.
I beat this game on my third attempt. The first two attempts I quit after getting frustrated at the tedium of the game, the uncomfortable feeling of the curses scream, the disorienting visuals. Yet something kept drawing me back and I think that it finally clicked. This game is about being trapped in life. You're a loser so deep in the hole that your only focus is making a quick dollar to try and inch towards the goal of getting back to zero. Among the never ending vomit you glimpse a cool item which hints at a quest you might one day do. The bigger and rarer the item the more you might trick yourself into thinking you might have access to something slightly cooler than this. That ain't your life though. You're a loser. The only hope to not be a loser was the games ending, so I pressed on. Getting their was an exercise in breaking free from tedium by going through it. Beating it made me feel invigorated but I will never touch it again. I don't think this game is for everyone but if you fancy odd flavors this is a sinkhole to explore.
Pretty good.
no entieno nada
AW HECK THIS DIDN'T HAVE A CLOUD(hopefully my saves still exist somewhere as backup...) nways truly good game but apparently last time i played it was in 2019 when i had less room in my computer and uninstalled, i'm so sorry spaceport janitor goddddd i gotta play this again some day, i don't even think i made it to the end credits! esp since i might've been apart of the Beta!(like that's why i'm marking this as recieved 4 free because i never remember buyng this+ i'm pretty sure i wasn't old enough to buy stuff by myself on steam when i got this in like 2015???? i do not remember but i can say i gotz history with this game as one of my first steam ones and i will always <333 it 4 that) maybe i'll do better now that i've evolved as a gamer
