Our take on Mop of the Dead
Instead of placing players in a conventional combat-focused horror scenario, the game turns office cleaning supplies into the objective and makes a janitor the pursuer. Its structure centers on collecting items and escaping, with randomized locations replacing a fixed route.
What is Mop of the Dead?
Mop of the Dead is an online cooperative survival horror game for 1–4 players.
Players explore dark office corridors, collect household cleaning products, find keys, and escape while avoiding a janitor who becomes faster as the game progresses. Items appear in different locations in each game, including cleaning products, keys, and medkits. Players can heal one another with medkits and communicate through proximity voice chat. Three difficulty settings are available: Normal, Hard, and Nightmare. Experience gained during play allows new characters to be unlocked through leveling.
