Stealth game in some bloody situations
Serial Cleaner is a premium action game created by game developer Draw Distance. It’s a top-down stealth title wherein players are professional cleaners for the criminal underworld. In they, they will need to clean bloody crime scenes without getting caught by the authorities.
Compared to other stealth titles like Hitman 3 or Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Serial Cleaner takes on a more cartoonish art style and design but is no less bloody and gory in presentation. All of it is set in the distinct backdrop of 1970s America, with a stylish and glamorous flair to it.
What a bloody mess
No crime is ever clean, whether it be for the authorities or the perpetrators themselves. Traces of the vile acts always get left behind at the scene. It’s no wonder then that “professional cleaners” were a thing in the criminal underworld, who go and clean up the mess before anyone’s the wiser. Serial Cleaner is a game that will let you experience this mysterious and bloody profession for yourself.
This is a story-driven stealth game wherein you take on “cleaning” jobs from criminals. Your main job is to clean crime scenes and make sure no evidence is left that could be linked back to your clients. You will need to sneak in without anyone ever spotting you as you mop up blood, get rid of anything incriminating, and get out as quickly as you can.
The game uses real-world data that can be adapted to the current time of day where you live—a small but nice touch for added immersion. Speaking of data, the aforementioned feature will be checking your IP address to get an idea of your location, which some might find to be a bit too intrusive, especially for just a game—something to consider before giving it a try.
Get to cleaning
Overall, Serial Cleaner is a decent stealth game with a unique premise. The art style is stylish and the gameplay is challenging, which should please fans of the genre. There are some security and privacy concerns with one of its features, but if you are okay with it, this game is an interesting release and one that is worth checking out.
