Yes, we disappeared for a while. The reason? The feedback we received from various sources was so helpful that we decided to rebuild significant parts of Junkienator in order to improve your experience. Let's just say that we took your suggestions very seriously.

The result of this re-creation is a brand new demo that captures the first two days of the game and reflects our original vision more accurately (we have removed a few minor details so as not to reveal everything to you). Think of it as version 2.0 the version we should have made from the outset, but it took us a while to get there.

You can download it now on the shiny new Steam page. A Mac version is also available!

Now it's your turn. Leave your feedback on the demo's dedicated page, where you can also leave a review if you wish. Any criticism or feedback will help us avoid having to do it all over again for a third time!

Last but not least, there is also a new trailer. You can evaluate our work without even clicking 'Install'. Convenient, isn't it?

Hello everyone! It's been a while, but we're back with new updates on the development of Junkienator. We've taken some time to work on a number of new features, and today we're ready to show you one of the most important: animated junk! In the last demo, the junk was a bit static and uninteresting. We wanted to make it more dynamic and fun, and we worked hard to find the right solution. So, here's the result: get ready to see cups zipping around the office, menacing donuts, and other objects coming to life in unexpected ways, ready to hinder your work! [previewyoutube=5nJIszrlMIE;full][/previewyoutube] But don't worry! With your trusty vacuum cleaner, you can restore order and make the office shine again. [previewyoutube=ZR0Tq7bv2Ys;full][/previewyoutube] That's all for today, we promise to make more periodic updates, and to keep this section more active. See you next time!

Hello everyone! Wow, it's incredible that almost 5 months have passed since our last update here on Steam, but don't worry, we're here! We've been hard at work developing Junkienator, and we wanted to give you a quick update to keep you in the loop. As you know, developing a game requires a lot of dedication, especially when there are only two people on the team. So, in this short devlog, we want to share some additional information about what to expect from the final version of Junkienator, which is going to be truly epic!

What have you been doing these past months?

Well, we've mainly focused on the levels, introducing new mechanics that were already in the works during the demo but hadn't been included yet. Additionally, we've listened to some incredibly talented professionals, including game designers and art directors, who have helped us polish and solidify the game even further.

Ah, but what's behind that darn door?

Unfortunately, we can't reveal that just yet. However, we can tell you that the story in the demo is only a small taste of what awaits you in the full version. But we'll let you in on a secret: our game will take place over the course of approximately one week, during which you'll accompany our favorite janitor in his adventurous life. This allowed us to structure the levels as true "days," almost like chapters in his story. Each day, you'll experience his life from waking up to well-deserved sleep.

But is there anything you can show us?

Absolutely! In fact, we have two things to share with you. The first one is the new weapon model, which was a direct result of some mechanics we introduced in the game but can't reveal just yet (oops). So, here it is, and who knows... maybe you'll be able to guess the new mechanics associated with this weapon.


Now, let's move on to the second thing we'd like to show you: the new grab mechanic! You'll now be able to pick up objects, reposition them, throw them, or simply leave them on the ground. This mechanic was born from our desire to give you more control in the game's offices and make you feel like real janitors! Hey, those books won't put themselves back on the shelves, right? [previewyoutube=vO4TWCUb-40;full][/previewyoutube] And that concludes our devlog. We hope these extra details have piqued your curiosity even more about the full game. Stay tuned, keep following us on social media, and please ADD US TO YOUR STEAM WISHLIST! (Sorry if I shouted a bit too loudly there, enthusiasm got the best of me!)

Get ready to join the junk party! We're thrilled (and a bit scared) to participate in SteamNextFest and can't wait for you to try the Junkienator demo. Let us know what you think! "Junkienator is a first-person thriller adventure game you'll be cleaning up all the dirt of the damned employees as you try to bury your dark past that will continue to haunt you."

We haven't heard from you in a while, but we have good news! The demo is coming up, and by a lot too. We will be present at the Steam Next Fest in February 2023, so the demo will be playable for everyone on February 6, 2023. We are really super anxious to let you play a little piece of what the full game will be and we look forward to reading your feedback, with all that goes with it. Obviously everything you let us know will be super helpful not only in providing you with a better experience for the demo, but also for the final game! To celebrate this little event we have prepared a new video, to better show the "darker" side of our game. [previewyoutube=_abo2GYQMFI;full][/previewyoutube]

Screenshots, screenshots, screenshots!

While waiting for more juicy updates, we wanted to show you some small previews of what will be one of the many levels in the game: an office! Well not that this is new to be honest...
A very important part of the game will also be your notebook, where you can often find useful tips, help, and maybe even notes that not everyone should read...

Little extras

But that's not all, in fact here we would like to show you another image, still a work in progress, of the protagonist's house. This place will be very important for the advancement of the main story, a house that we could almost consider as a co-protagonist, apart from cloths and brooms of course...

Our first devblog

This is our first dev update! The team is still processing the whole succession of events that led to the opening of the steam page, to the first wishlists, and now to our first periodic update. A strange feeling of nervousness mixed with the happiness of finally publishing our product on Steam. But now let's move on to why we're here: Development updates!

Night area

What we want to show you today is a small outdoor area, set at night, with what looks like a door to a basement. This area will precede your very first job as a cleaner. Damn! They forgot to give you the keys... well of course we can't postpone this job, there will surely be a way to enter, right?
