Evaluation

Paranormal Cleanup launched out of Early Access on May 31, 2025 and quickly established a strong post-launch update cadence. The developer shipped three new maps in rapid succession: Summer Camp on July 14, 2025, a Lunch Lady crossover on September 6, 2025, and a Misery Mansion crossover on October 25, 2025 — roughly one major content drop every 6–8 weeks. Additional feature patches and bug fixes continued through November 2, 2025, the date of the last developer communication of any kind. Since November 2, 2025, there has been complete silence from the developer. As of October 1, 2026, that is nearly 11 months without a single post, patch note, or announcement. This significantly exceeds both the game's established 6–8 week update rhythm and the general 6-month threshold for developer communication. No reason for the pause has been given, and the developer has made no statement — positive or negative — about future plans. The 1.0 launch post from May 31, 2025 listed several features still being worked on, and the three new maps that followed were explicitly promised in that post. However, additional content beyond those three maps was also hinted at ("based on your feedback"), and no wrap-up statement has been made. Given the extended silence against the previously active cadence, it's unclear whether further development is continuing or has quietly stopped.

About this game

This Job Sucks. You'll love it.

Paranormal Cleanup is a multiplayer horror game where up to 4 players take on the role of cleaning company employees tasked with cleaning up trash in paranormal locations. You must work together to complete your mission, all while avoiding the relentless pursuit of the entities who try to hunt you down.

Why is there Ectoplasm on the Ceiling?

The task is pretty simple: All you have to do is dispose(eat) moldy pizzas, unclog nasty toilets, scrub ectoplasm and clean up some trash here and there. But beware, entities like ghosts, cult leaders and other paranormal beings roam these places, and they're not happy about your presence. You'll need to be smart and stealthy as you clean up, as every action you take will increase the entities anger. 

When unclogging Toilets just isn't enough
