Mod creator magneticeel has set a May 27 release date for version 1.0 of Janitorial Escapism, a Half-Life mod that casts the player as a janitor at Black Mesa Research Facility. The project began as a test for the Featureful SDK but grew into a standalone experience that combines elements of mods and expansion packs. Players must navigate the facility after a resonance cascade and find a way out. A nostalgic trailer has also been released. The mod will be distributed on ModDB and is expected to take 30 to 50 minutes to complete.
