Hi everyone!
Paranormal Cleanup is officially out of Early Access! It's time for Patch 1.0!
Remember how it all started?
0.0.1 launched February 2023 in a bare-bones state with the simple objective to clean up trash piles and trash bags on a single map, a house haunted by an old lady. Nothing else. I think there wasn't even a way to set your keybinds.
What about now? What's in the game?
5 Maps with unique enemies that have their own behavior, abilities, looks, sounds and jumpscares
Several things to clean, from dirty toilets to ectoplasm and bloody symbols
Dynamic, interactive environments with a lot of interactable items
Unique Banish Mechanics on each map to get rid of every entity, like burning down an art studio to destroy cursed paintings
A new interactive lobby to hang out in, no boring static menu
Proximity Voice Chat
We (you and I) iterated through several Objective Systems over the years, from randomized contracts to now full on cleaning jobs where you have to clean a percentage of everything there is to complete your job
Player Perks, so you can play just the way you want to. Want to clean faster while an entity is near or would you rather be able to run faster after cleaning something?
Equipment Upgrades: Permanent improvements to your gear
Daily & Weekly Tasks to gain additional EXP and $$
So many Achievements with ingame rewardsNew with 1.0
A Prestige System so you can grind endlessly and get sweet cosmetics
Character Outfits
Hard Mode: Up to the Challenge? Unbanishable Entities that hunt non-stop.. for double the job reward
Bug FixesBUT, there's still some stuff missing that I promised for the launch, that isn't in the game yet. All that is coming in the next couple weeks, I am working hard to get it done as soon as possible, this is my top priority.
Coming in the next couple weeks
3 New Maps, yes, not one, 3!
A new Objective, including a new cleaning item and upgrades for it
Localization
Controller Rework/Tweaks/Fixes
Steam Deck Verified
New Character Skins
Equipment Skins
..and more, based on your feedback :)Let's sneak a look at one of the new maps
Thank you all for your patience and endless support. Thank you for all the great feedback in the last couple months, it's been amazing doing this for you.
Have fun playing, and as always, see you in game!
Cheers,
