Viscera Cleanup Detail is a science fiction simulation video game where players are tasked to clean up the bloody aftermath of a successfully repelled alien invasion, zombie outbreak and other types of disasters.

[1] In Viscera Cleanup Detail, players are given the role of "Space-Station Janitors", tasked with cleaning and repairing facilities that have been the scene of bloody battles during an alien invasion or another form of disaster.

To accomplish these tasks, players carry a mop to help clean up any blood pools or soot found around the station, a sensor device to detect traces of biological or non-biological messes, and a small PDA to take notes on the level.

As well as a large report screen displaying the player's score in the form of a percentile, several news articles can also be found scattered around The Office's main room.

[5] On 10 December 2018, a new DLC entitled Viscera Cleanup Detail: The Vulcan Affair was released, where players must clean up the secret island lair of a supervillain whose plans for world domination had just been foiled.

At Eurogamer, Dan Whitehead wrote that while many video games revolve around the concept of clearing a screen, such as killing all the enemies or collecting all the tokens, Viscera Cleanup Detail literalises the metaphor.
