How does this compare to Viscera Cleanup Detail?

[Bosh]

Title.

It's a similar gameplay loop but it's more simplified.
You don't need to keep track of how many bullets you're picking up for example. And stepping in blood only leaves a few footprints rather than create them for your next 6 years of walking.

But yeah, you use mop, clean it with bucket, bucket gets dirty, don't drop the bucket.

There's more tools and skills you can unlock. Your character does say funny things as he cleans and gives tips. Also there's a vocalized story for everything too. Each level takes about 40 minutes to complete if you're 100% it. There's tons of secret areas to find as well, so pay attention.

Wait, you had to keep track of how many bullets there were in Viscera? No wonder I got bad scores in it.

It have a story. Clearing a level mean something.

You didn't have to keep track of the bullets, but you did have to use the sniffer to find the bits of trash (sometimes bullets) that were more difficult to find.

Wait, that form you fill out at the end of each level where you have to write down the amount of bullets, bodies, crates, ect. It was optional and didn't affect the score?

...............? Admittedly it's been a few years since I last played, but I don't recall any of that.

It's optional bonus to the score, but do it well and you can easily be employee of the month, just like stacking crates and barrels.

Viscera was a lot more frustrating for me. I would say this is a more effective cleaning game. There is better metrics, better tools, more sensible management of tool placement. The whole game is more rewarding, and there is a story to progress and each map is very distinct, but it's also single player, and the amount of replayability is much lower once you have all secrets and unlocks. There is more content coming though.

I think with a good group of friends you could get more hours out of Viscera, but for solo I would suggest this.

If you wanted something more like Viscera, I would recommend Goblin Cleanup, but it's still demo only.
