Dr. Jan Itor by VorpalSnark

A heart transplant a day keeps the doctor away!
Play as the tireless Janitor in this campy Body Horror game. He's been through many transplants, but his body rejects them all!
To fuel his need for more hearts, he took a job cleaning up behind the world's worst Hospital. There's plenty of hearts leftover to go around. But don't get caught taking one! And if you can't keep up your job performance, you'll lose access to them!

Also, big fan of the beating heart sound as your heart starts stopping.
I'm really happy that the game can be played with an AZERTY keyboard, but I'm sad it's not compatible with GamePad unfortunately :( .
The game is not really beautiful, and animation are really basic.
At least, it's... or
The mix of trying to clean behind people and get the hearts of the deads forces you to always have an eye on everything that is happening, it's good!
It didn't always felt very clear on why I got fired, I think a clearer explanation on the end screen could be great.
Nice combination of mechanics (metal gear heart transplant?)
I like the suspense and the fact that I need to juggle and look out when is the best moment to perform the transplant :D
Nice tough with the hospital guys slipping on the wet floor and decreasing satisfaction.
The chill elevator music helps with the absurd tone of the game - everything here feels consistent and comes together nicely.
Would love to get some more variety as after a few transplants I've found an optimal strategy and it was not problematic to keep my heart meter up.
++ for the grillmaster 9k :DD
At first I thought I can also "interact" with the dead patients in their rooms as well but it's understandable why it would be suspicious :D
:v: nice one
