About the Game

Every day 15 thousand people travel through Fujinomiya Station on their morning commute

This tiny station becomes a rush of workers, students and travelers

Some call it a storm of people

However before a single soul enters the station, a man comes to clean

At the crack of the dawn when the world still sleeps

You are the Calm Before the Storm

Calm Before the Storm is a retro japanese themed cleaning simulator game where you work as a cleaning employee working at dawn right before a storm of people arrive at the station.

It is a short but ambient experience

The map is filled with interactive objects, extras and secrets for people wanting to fully experience and explore the game, there is multiple endings and an endless minigame where you can put your skills to test.
