Paranormal Cleanup

About

Paranormal Cleanup casts you as part of a cleaning crew dealing with haunted messes. Play solo or with up to three others as you sweep floors, haul trash, and dodge vengeful spirits in a crumbling house. Every action, picking up debris, opening doors, or even moving too fast, ramps up ghostly hostility. You have to balance efficiency with stealth, since agitated spirits will hunt you down. The clock ticks as you juggle chores and survival, making tough calls about when to rush and when to hide. The game stands out for its tense co-op dynamics and asymmetric risks. Managing your team’s noise levels while completing tasks creates constant friction, and the AI-driven ghosts adapt to your playstyle. With PC release set for May 30, 2025, it’s already drawing comparisons to classic horror co-ops for its blend of simple mechanics and chaotic teamwork. Developer Manic Mice leans into the absurdity of the premise, letting you punt around haunted junk without pretension.

Storyline

You are an employee of a cleaning company tasked with cleaning up an old house. But this is no ordinary clean-up job - the house is haunted. The task is pretty simple - all you have to do is clean up the trash that's been left behind in the house. But beware, the ghosts are lurking, and they're not happy about your presence. You'll need to be smart and stealthy as you clean up the house, as every action you take will increase the ghosts anger. Can you complete your cleaning mission and get out of the haunted house alive, or will the ghosts get you?
