Toiletocalypse Demo

This isn’t just a game about running to the toilet. It’s an absurd roguelike survival game where you try to survive a shift in someone else’s apartment before your intestines finish you off.

The client left the keys, a to-do list, and disappeared. You get paid by the job. Finish a task, get paid. Don’t finish it, get nothing. Your intestines have joined you for the shift.

Your water goes down. The pressure builds. Your sanity holds everything together until something goes wrong. Your stamina determines whether you can even make it to the toilet in time.

There’s no inventory. You’ve got two hands. You search cupboards, drink tea of unknown origin, craft things by trial and error, and hope it works out this time. It won’t.

What’s in the demo

• 2 maps: Furniture assembly and cleaning
• 10 and 20 minute shifts
• Roguelike mode with card-based unlocks
• 3 events: Water outage, power outage, and a telemarketer calling your phone
• 3 unlocks to obtain
• A phone with a shop (cheaper items) and one upgrade: Bigger Bladder
• All 4 bars, crafting, water quality and temperature, kettle, hygiene, toilet clogging, QTEs, and end-of-shift payout
• Full controller support and an option to censor profanity

Demo progress carries over to the full version.

The demo throws you straight into a higher difficulty level so events start happening from the very first shift. In the full version, you start at a more relaxed pace.

What’s coming in the full version

• Shifts lasting up to 4 hours
• Toiletocalypse mode with full unlock RNG
• A map with partition-wall construction: bring in materials, build, and clean up after yourself
• All events, including appliances burning out during a power surge, a light bulb exploding, a dead phone, and turbo diarrhea
• The complete pool of items, recipes, and unlocks
• All upgrades, including pockets, and the full shop
• The full difficulty scale, starting peacefully and ramping up, with manual difficulty adjustment
• Sound like your kind of thing? The full version is waiting on its Steam page. Adding it to your wishlist helps a lot with a project made by one person.

If Windows blocks the game from launching

The game isn’t signed with a publisher certificate. It’s made by one person after hours, and there’s no budget for a certificate. Because of this, Smart App Control or your antivirus may recognize the file as unknown and block the launch. It’s a false alarm; small indie games often trigger the same response.

What to do

Add an exception for the game folder in your antivirus.

Or disable Smart App Control (Windows Security > App & browser control).

I’ll buy a certificate once the game makes enough money to pay for itself. Then the problem will disappear for good.
