Overstock! by Random-storykeeper
You are a regular employee working during a not-so-regular day at PAPER™, an office supplies store that has begun to employ the use of its new cleaning technology. However, this unorthodox sanitation method has to be tamed.

Gameplay!
Find and put down supplies that can be found around the store to feed your cleaning companion. Your friend will consume supplies you place and remove dirt that customers track in, but be careful, as the customers will be scared off if it comes in contact with them. The store will close if too much dirt builds up, three customers get frightened, or your helper runs out of cleaning supplies.

So basically while playing this game, I was surprised at the amount of decisions I had to make for what seemed to be a simple concept. Although the general concept/mechanic is really interesting, I did think the execution could use some work. Sometimes the gameplay really shined where the customers got close to the monster and created tension, but other times the mechanics didn't mesh well together. I'm not sure what a fix might be other than level design? Not sure. Either way it's nothing bad. I think you have a really ambitious game design here. I'm glad you went with the idea and I can see a brilliant design somewhere in all the complexity.
Well done!
About the gameplay, I think it makes the game a bit random that nothing can be done to prevent the customers to bump into the cleaning monster.
