There are many reviews for this game and all of them seem to struggle with adequately explaining it or making a convincing argument about what it all means. This is understandable because nothing in the game really means anything. There's no such point like "obtain the chalice of resolution!"; it's not that simple. Spaceport Janitor is, largely, a representation of life and, in that regard, it's what you make of it. You take on the role of a service industry employee, charged with maintaining the grounds of the spaceport in which they live. While there is a small degree of UBI, your pay is semi-performance based. However, even if you work from dawn till dusk and exhaust the capacity of your tools at the highest speed, you will struggle to even pay for your food in this largely hyper-capitalist airport city. Needing to resort to eating chalk or what you find on the ground, your money is further stretched by having some degree of gender dysphoria and being routinely shaken down by the cops. The world-building is surprisingly thought-out. There's the surface-level items like a pantheon of gods to pray and light incense to (who are all aspects of specific concepts and events). There's the mid-level items, like the city being both culturally consistent and distinct with its architecture, inhabitants, festivals and superstitions. The music is also generally enjoyable, but with this kind of under-layer of being just slightly off or dysfunctional, the same way that the city itself seems exhibit those traits. But there's also another layer that you can't really get until you spend time really analysing items. For instance: You are Alaensee, and it seems like though various item descriptions that the Alaensee are stereotypically grand warriors fighting the monsters of the universe, richly rewarded for doing so. Therefore, you are a complete anomaly for being the very antithesis of your people and not wanting to have anything to do with that. There's a number of subtle storytelling fragments that are well considered and, I'm sure, overlooked by the majority of players who just wonder why you keep getting cussed out for being a janitor -- which is pretty representative of the custodial trade. Objectively, the game is about the fact that you get cursed and are passively working on a way to get uncursed, but subjectively the game is about surviving in what is a generally inhospitable, self-interested society and seeing what general fortunes or misfortunes can be had each day. It's worth it for the vibe and general experience, especially on sale. And while some of the achievements sure are annoying, it's a doable 25 hours to perfect if that's the kind of thing that interests you. My recommendation is positive.

Toil away at a dead-end job! Haggle with locals! Withstand the eternal screeching of The Skull! Progression through this game is nebulous and frustrating, if one cares about such things, but I had almost forgotten there was a way to leave the planet once I settled into my daily routine. I play this game to chill out with its comforting, vibrant monotony. A world exists around me, but I am merely a cog in the machine, incinerating trash. I found a brain on the ground and ate it. This game is nonsense and I absolutely love it.

this is one of my favorite games ever made and after revisiting it years later, i can confirm it still is. the npcs are hilarious, the items are perfectly designed, the mechanics work exactly how you think they do and offer many ways for the game to be played. every play-through shows me items i’ve never seen before and new approaches that i never thought of. i’ve been fans of the developers (who have since joined kitfox games) for a long time because you can feel the massive amount of heart and soul they put into every project. buy this game now, don’t wait til it’s on sale. if you can, buy it for double the price.

They Might Be Giants once asked the question "Should you worry when the skull head is in front of you, or is it worse because it's always waiting where your eyes don't go?" While Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor sidesteps the question, it does definitively state that the skull head in front of you isn't nearly as frightening as being stuck in a dead end job in capitalist hellscape.
