About Viscera Cleanup Detail
Viscera Cleanup Detail puts you in the role of a space‑station sanitation technician tasked with clearing the aftermath of an alien invasion. The game presents a grim sci‑fi setting where blood, viscera, spent cartridges and bodies litter the facility, and your job is to clean it all.
The title offers single‑player, split‑screen co‑op and online multiplayer modes, and runs on Windows and macOS. Mac users should note that the OS X version lacks Steam multiplayer, Workshop and achievement integration, but can still play the core cleaning experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Janitorial Simulation
Players step into the boots of a space‑station sanitation technician and confront the horrific aftermath of a sci‑fi horror event. The core loop consists of locating messes, selecting appropriate tools, and removing each contaminant until the area is declared clean.
The simulation emphasizes thoroughness: blood, viscera, spent cartridges and worker bodies must all be dealt with. Success is measured by how completely the environment is cleared, encouraging careful inspection of floors, walls and ceilings before moving on.
- Inspect every surface before considering a room finished.
- Prioritize visible large messes, then use detection tools for hidden stains.
02 / THE GUIDE
Cleaning Tools
The game provides a mop, gloves, dispenser machines, a plasma laser and a sniffer tool to help remove blood and other debris. Each item serves a specific purpose, from wiping large spills to detecting hidden contamination on surfaces.
Tools can be switched at any time, allowing a methodical approach to different types of mess. For example, the sniffer highlights stains that are not immediately visible, while the plasma laser can cut through tougher debris.
- Start with the mop for obvious spills, then scan with the sniffer.
- Gloves protect you when handling hazardous debris.

Sandbox Gameplay
Beyond the cleaning objective, a sandbox mode lets players intentionally create messes and experiment with the game's physics. This mode removes the pressure of completion, allowing freeform interaction with objects and tools.
Progress can be saved at any time, so you may pause, experiment further, or return later to clean up the chaos you have generated.
- Use sandbox mode to test how each tool reacts to different debris.
- Save before large experiments to avoid losing progress.

Multiplayer & Co‑op
Viscera Cleanup Detail supports multiplayer, letting friends join to clean or to make additional messes together. Split‑screen co‑op is available, and online options include LAN and shared sessions, enabling collaborative or competitive play.
Co‑op can be used to divide tasks—one player mops while another scans with the sniffer—or to coordinate larger sandbox experiments, increasing the fun of both cleaning and chaos.
- Assign different tools to each player for faster coverage.
- Communicate which areas need attention to avoid duplicate work.

Platform Support & Limitations
The title is available for Windows and macOS. The macOS build does not include Steam functionality such as multiplayer connectivity, Workshop integration or achievement tracking, as noted in the official store description.

- Mac users should consult the community page for workarounds to missing Steam features.
- Windows players can explore Workshop content for custom maps.
