About The Janitor

The Janitor is a first person horror game. You play as a janitor, called Max Taylor, who is send to an asylum by his boss to repair a broken pipe and a broken electric panel. Max knows that the asylum is abandoned, but he isn't feeling bad about going there although his boss warned him not stay to long there. Once arrived he quickly notices that something is wrong. Blood everywhere and strange noises can be heard. Short time after looking around a went-wrong experiment of the government rushes to him.

Max has to worry about his life while trying to escape the asylum - but there is one problem: The elevator is broken! Max hurries to find some tools and machine parts to repair the hydraulic pump.

As soon as the elevator is repaired he has to look into the eyes of danger again! His only chance to escape is to jump down the elevator shaft. Max Taylor is wounded and unconscious. Right after waking up he finds himself in huge underground catacombs. Hunted by fear and the went-wrong experiment he has to find the exit!

Will he find it?

Started this game to only get the achievements but I can't even do that cause it's a garbage game, flashlight is not working everytime ..those silly "monsters" come out of nowhere and sometimes are blocking you and you can't do anything anymore, not even die. Do NOT buy this.

I'd rather get tied up and tortured for weeks than spend $1 on this absolute dogwater of a game. How can someone genuinely spend only $1 and STILL FEEL ROBBED. Buy the game if you're ranked low in the human intellectual level.

[h1]A "went-wrong" experiment[/h1] This is probably the most inept of the 1500+ games I have ever played and finished in my life.
