As a fan of bothgutsy cleaning sim Viscera Cleanup Detailand games built upon one silly joke, I leapt at Late Night Mop. I instantly knew it would be simple cleaning (more along the lines ofHouse Flipperthan VCD orPowerWash Simulator) and would have spooky noises and startling jumpscares. And yep, that’s it. Walk around, clicking on stains and picking rubbish up to dump in bins, and then spooky things are there. That’s all. I am pleased with it.

It has an idea, it executes it solidly, and it has a few nice touches which made it for me. I don’t usually find jumpscares interesting but did enjoy two of them here. They were placed well and I did find them quite funny after I stopped cussing at my computer (I might not like jumpscares, but that doesn’t mean they don’t get me). And I like that at the very end, it completely understood what I wanted to do and let me.
