Cleaning Redville is an Explorer Horror Video Game by DopplerGhost, made for an event called Brackey's Game Jam.
You play a garbage truck driver who's job is to collect all the garbage bags in the town of Redville at night. The job is simple enough, just drive the truck down the street, put all the bags in the back of it, and move on. Shouldn't take too long.
So why does something feel so off about it?
