"Moustache-Wearing Cleaner Tackles Crime Scenes"

Serial Cleaner, a captivating puzzle game where you take on the role of a crime scene cleaner, is making a comeback. Originally released in 2019, this quirky title had players stepping into the shoes of Bob Leaner, a professional tasked with disposing of bodies, mopping up blood stains, and hiding evidence of mob-related crimes, all while dodging the police. If you recall our review from back then by Harry Slater, you might remember it was seen as a game with potential but needing refinement. Now, with Plug-In Digital stepping in as the new publisher, Serial Cleaner is set for a re-release on mobile devices.

The 70s, as depicted in cinema, were a time of urban decay, menacing street gangs, falling turkeys, and shark-infested beaches. Serial Cleaner embraces this era with its gruesome yet humorous take on crime scene cleanup. As you navigate through the game, the challenge is to complete your tasks without getting caught, adding a thrilling layer of strategy and stealth to the puzzle-solving experience.

**Let's get funky**

Currently available for pre-registration and scheduled for release on February 11th, 2025, it remains to be seen whether this re-release will include significant enhancements. Given the game's initial mixed reception, there's hope for improvements, though the long gap since its debut might temper those expectations. While the concept of Serial Cleaner is undeniably intriguing, the fact that this seems to be primarily a re-release for mobile platforms does slightly dampen the excitement. However, for those who missed out on playing it on Android or struggled with compatibility on newer iOS versions, this could be a welcome opportunity.
