Custodian: A Janitor's Quest
Created for the $108 Adventure Game Challenge.
Description
Join the Interstellar Survey, they said.
See the galaxy, they said!
They didn't say that you would be experiencing the great unknown through a porthole in the lavatory compartment.
But you know what? It's not that bad.
Sure, they're dismissive, egocentric, underqualified megalomaniacs, but they need you. Credits may make the world go 'round, but custodians keep it from backing up into your sink.
Sometimes, the folks with the grimy hands and the dirty fingernails just have to get the job done.
Join the crew of the SS Navigator, stranded on an alien world with nothing to show for it but a malicious AI, a database full of poorly-written charts, and a poorly stocked galley. Poorly stocked, perhaps, but meticulously maintained, one might add. Will the ship and crew surive? It may be up to the most unlikely duo this side of the sewer pod. Mops and fingers crossed.
Tutorial + Controls

I'm sorry, but this game doesn't feel like a traditional point 'n click adventure game at all. The controls are clumsy, and there's not a single puzzle in the game. The talking noises were getting on my nerves the whole time.
I'm sorry to hear you didn't like it. We were quite pressed for time and of course would've liked to perform better. However, we did not aim for point'n click but a story-centric adventure with puzzles (evade and trap enemies) - much of which has been left on the cutting room floor.
Good luck for next time! I hope my feedback helps—it’s important to learn from constructive criticism too.
