Serial Cleaner, the quirky crime-scene cleanup puzzler, is making a comeback! Remember the 2019 release? This time, it's hitting mobile, but will it be a refined re-release or simply a modernized port? Time will tell.
The game throws you into the gritty, yet comical, 1970s. Think urban decay, stylish gangs, improbable events (killer sharks, anyone?), all straight out of a 70s movie. You play Bob Leaner, a professional crime-scene cleaner, tasked with the messy job of disposing of bodies, cleaning up blood, and erasing any trace of the mob's violent activities – all while dodging the police.
Our 2019 review 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?
Pre-registration is open, with a February 11th, 2025 release date. While improvements are hoped for, given the time elapsed since the initial launch, significant changes might be unrealistic.
The core concept remains captivating, but a simple mobile port dampens some of the excitement. However, for Android users who missed out, or those experiencing compatibility issues with older iOS versions, this could be a welcome surprise.
