Clean Crime Scenes with 'Serial Cleaner', Play as a Mustachioed Masterpiece

Serial Cleaner, the quirky crime-scene cleanup puzzler, is making a comeback! Originally released in 2019, this title is returning, but the extent of its revamp remains uncertain. Will it be a polished re-release, or simply a modernized port? Only time will tell.

The game throws you into the gritty, yet comical, 1970s. Think urban decay, stylish gangs, improbable events (turkeys falling from the sky, anyone?), and the cinematic cliché of killer sharks. As Bob Leaner, your job is to expertly clean up crime scenes, disposing of bodies, erasing bloodstains, and concealing all evidence of the mob's activities—all while dodging the police.

Our previous review in 2019 (by Harry Slater) described the original as "half-baked but with potential." Developer Plug-In Digital is now self-publishing this mobile version, suggesting a chance to address past shortcomings.

A Funky Return?

Available for pre-registration now, with a February 11th, 2025 release date, the extent of the improvements remains a mystery. While a significant overhaul would be welcome, given the time elapsed since the original, substantial changes might be unrealistic.

The core concept remains captivating, but a simple mobile re-release dampens expectations somewhat. However, for Android users who missed out, or iOS players experiencing compatibility issues, this could be a pleasant surprise.
