Clean Hotel Rooms Like a SWAT Team in This Housekeeping Simulator

For the life of me I can't remember a room cleaner blowing my hotel door open with a bundle of dynamite, but then again I've mostly been staying in hostels lately. Arguably, such a device would void the "do not disturb" tag dangling from any door handle. But that's exactly how you make an entrance in Breach & Clean, a free "Authentic Hotel Maintenance Simulation" from Nuclear Throne creator Rami Ismail.

With mops, garbage bags, new toilet paper rolls, fresh towels, and explosives at your disposal, you must comb each room in the hallway to make it look brand new, and not as if it had spent the last 48 hours as some family vacation's spilled soda depository or a sex dungeon. What is this mysterious pile of bubbling slime on the floor? No time to question it, only time to mop. Who the heck leaves so many fish bones on their floor? You aren't getting paid to meditate on life's biggest mysteries, only to dispel of garbage. Why would a washroom have two toilets facing each other? These are concerns for management, not custodial services. You are on the clock, and your job is on the line.

On top of beating the clock, manifested as a literal clock on your service trolley, you must also accomplish your mission unseen. Each room is randomly generated, so you never know what room layout and hot mess is on the other side of the door. Often enough, hotel guests are still in their room, and you have to zip by their vision so fast that they may mistake you for something out of the corner of their eye. Raise their suspicions too much and you're fired. A daunting consequence, especially when you need to drain the bathwater while someone is still wallowing in it.

Breach & Clean was created during this year's Castle Jam, a week-long Swedish game jam based in a literal castle. If the regular time restraints sound too intimidating there is "Zen Mode" included. But what's the point of cleaning hotel rooms with dynamite if you aren't going to challenge yourself?
