Serial Cleaner tasks you with cleaning up crime scenes while under the influence of a moustache

Serial Cleaner, the quirky crime-scene cleanup puzzler, is making a comeback! Originally released in 2019, this title is returning to mobile platforms. Whether this is a simple port or a fully revamped experience remains to be seen.

The game plunges players into the gritty, yet cartoonish, 1970s. As Bob Leaner, you'll be tasked with the messy job of cleaning up after mob hits, disposing of bodies, erasing bloodstains, and generally concealing all evidence of the crimes. All this, of course, while dodging patrolling police officers.

The initial release received mixed reviews, praised for its potential but criticized for being somewhat unfinished. Developer Plug-in Digital is now handling publishing, offering a chance for a second act.

A Second Chance?

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

The core concept remains undeniably captivating, but a simple mobile re-release dampens expectations slightly. However, for Android users who missed out, or those experiencing compatibility issues with older iOS versions, this could be a welcome addition to their mobile game library.
