Paranormal Cleanup (v0.0.3)

A routine sanitation contract turns into a tense co-op survival job inside a decaying, ghost-infested house. Paranormal Cleanup trades guns and exorcisms for trash bags, brooms, and the increasingly alarming realization that every bit of progress draws more supernatural attention. Its horror is balanced by the inherently ridiculous sight of four cleaners trying to finish chores while panicking at distant noises, making it as funny with friends as it is unnerving alone.

Players scour rooms for discarded objects, gather them up, and work toward clearing the property without becoming targets for the spirits roaming its corridors. The key tension comes from escalation: interacting with the environment and completing work makes the entities angrier, so teams must judge when to push their luck, hide, split up, or stay close. Online co-op supports up to four people, while proximity voice chat turns separation into a feature rather than a flaw; hearing a teammate’s voice fade into a scream somewhere down the hall is often scarier than seeing the ghost. Randomized item placement and unpredictable hauntings keep runs from becoming a memorized route, and the game also accommodates solo players willing to face the house without backup.

Rather than copying the investigation-focused structure of Phasmophobia, Paranormal Cleanup builds its scares around a simple, tangible objective that becomes difficult under pressure. Its reactive ghost behavior means the threat does not feel completely scripted, while 3D audio and hiding spots such as closets reward players who listen carefully and act cautiously. The early-access format means the experience continues to expand and may still show rough edges, but its foundation already suits groups seeking chaotic, replayable horror nights. Fans of Lethal Company-style teamwork, especially those who enjoy turning mundane labor into a survival challenge, find plenty to like here.
