Janitor

Authors:Kevin Lynn and Peter Seebach
Genres:Fantasy>Cave crawl
Surreal
Released:2002
Review:

A terrifically entertaining cave-crawl parody in which you play a janitor whose job it is to clean up an adventure environment and reset everything for the next player. Puzzles are a nice moderate level of difficulty, it is difficult to get too stuck, and the humor level is well maintained. There are plenty of entertaining extras that make it worth going back and playing with the game further even after you have completed the main storyline.

Rating: ****
