As this game exits Early Access, I feel it fitting to make my final review on this game.

Basically; VCD is a janitor simulator where you clean up blood and human bits and stuff, and not much else. What may not occur to you, is this is actually a real job what you're doing. Its really hard, and most that do it do not survive for very long.

I've been with this game from the very beginning and it goes without saying that I've been utterly pleased with it. Even its offshoots are great.

Its not a fad game. It never 'took off'. It never had its moment and hopefully never will; this is a game that deserves to be discovered with wild eyes and a wet mop. This game deserves to be found as the calming zen-like, ocd-destroyer of a game that it is.

There is no danger so as long as you're smart. No ammo to keep track of, and nothing is actually trying to kill you. You're just Joe, trying to clean stuff up.

Its got problems though; and nearly all of them have to do with its physics engine. While its certainly a good one, its really hard to actually get rid of bullet casings. And intestines. And hands will still sometimes clip through the floor. This action makes it basically impossible to get a hold of, and its detectable. So you're screwed. They added a broom to make casings and trash easier to pick up but personally; I'd prefer a vaccum.

They threw in references to various games here and there in the form of workers logs usually. They do indeed feel thrown in. But it gets a knowing smile from me if not much else. This game is not exciting. Its not action packed. It is not for everyone, and its not that detailed.

Red blob #3 (its a joke kinda) still looks like a red blob to me, so I always assume its a heart.

There. Is. No. Tutorial.
I repeat.

So when you see a gun that fires lasers and you have no idea what its for, nobody else did either. They learned the hard way unless you check out the wiki.

This game will throw you in all kinds of different areas.
From med labs where all kinds of things went wrong, to an oil refinery, to a greenhouse; where you'll also have to remove weeds and tumors, and even in space itself, where you're free to turn gravity on and off.

Is it fun? I say it is.
Theres a reason why its foil badge has been my featured badge for as long as it has been.
Runestorm did a great job with this game in Early Access as it was, and is one of the woefully few success stories from it.
Give it a shot if you think you like what I've described.

8/10.
