Serial Cleaner, the quirky crime-scene cleanup puzzler, is making a comeback! Originally released in 2019, this title is returning to mobile devices. But will this be a simple port or a fully revamped experience? Let's find out.
The game plunges you into the gritty, yet comical, 1970s. Think urban decay, stylish gangs, improbable cinematic events (killer sharks, anyone?), and a whole lot of cleaning up after the mob.
As Bob Leaner, your job is to expertly erase all traces of violent crime: bodies, blood, the works. All while dodging the ever-watchful police. Sounds familiar? Our 2019 review described the original as "half-baked but with potential." Developer Plug-in Digital is now self-publishing, aiming for a second chance to impress.
A New Lease on Life?
Available for pre-registration now, with a February 11th, 2025 release date, the extent of the improvements remains unclear. While a polished re-release would be welcome, given the time elapsed since the original launch, significant upgrades might be optimistic.
The core concept of Serial Cleaner remains undeniably captivating. However, a simple mobile re-release feels somewhat underwhelming. Android users who missed out, or iOS players experiencing compatibility issues, might see this as a welcome gift.
