A stealth action game!
Serial Cleaner is an action-stealth game set in the vibrant and gritty 1970s, where you play as a professional crime scene cleaner. Your job is to clean up after mob hits and other criminal activities without getting caught by the police, who are always on the lookout. The game blends humor, strategy, and fast-paced action in a unique way that challenges your tactical thinking. Serial Cleaner is all about balancing quick reflexes with smart planning. You need to stay unseen, time your movements, and use the environment to your advantage while cleaning up the mess left behind by criminals! You play as Bob Leaner, a regular guy who moonlights as a cleaner for mobsters, picking up odd jobs to earn money. Bob lives with his mother, and between taking her to bingo nights and doing chores, he gets calls from his shady underworld contacts to clean up after their messy work. The game embraces a funky 70s aesthetic, with bold colors, stylish minimalist art, and a soundtrack that evokes the period’s funky and jazzy vibes. It’s both lighthearted and gritty, offering a unique tone that stands out from more serious stealth games. Gameplay Overview: * Crime scene cleanup: Each level in Serial Cleaner is a crime scene where you must remove all evidence (bodies, weapons, blood, etc.) and make your escape without being spotted! You’ll need to sneak around, dodge police patrols, and time your actions perfectly to avoid detection. * Stealth mechanics: The game focuses on stealth. The police officers patrol the area, and it’s your job to study their movements and take advantage of blind spots to clean the scene staying unseen. If they spot you, they’ll give chase, and you’ll need to escape quickly before being caught. * Create your solutions: Each level can be approached in different ways. You can use distractions (like knocking over objects or turning on equipment) to lure the police away, hide bodies in certain spots, or even hide yourself in tall grass or closets. Adapt and use your environment to your advantage! * Challenging and Replayable: As you progress, the levels become more complex with additional mechanics like tighter spaces, more aggressive police, and more evidence to clean up. It's up to you to replay levels to improve your scores and times! Key Features: * Retro aesthetics: The art style is heavily influenced by 1970s pop culture, with bright, saturated colors, geometric shapes, and a minimalist design. This visual style helps the game stand out while giving it a nostalgic feel. * 70s soundtrack: The soundtrack perfectly complements the 70s vibe, with funky and jazzy tracks that keep the mood light yet intense, even during high-stress situations! * Real-time changes: As you clean a scene, the bloodstains you remove disappear, and the more bodies you collect, the fewer are left to deal with. This gives a satisfying sense of progression as you clear the crime scene, but also increases the tension as the police can stumble upon these changes if you're not careful.

It's a great game, had no problems with the gameplay altho I got tired of the mechanics pretty quickly because there's no story in it, I was expecting like lore in the TV or the news but it's all random. It's a good game to play nonetheless
- Bernie Dela Cruz
The game is good, but I faced major obstacle in the gameplay. Progress wasn't getting saved after the 3rd chapter. Tried many times but the same thing happens.
- Ruchir H Yagnik · v1.1.9
too slow, pretty boring actually
- Valerie Hutchence
honestly, really cute, cool story, funny moments. Only downside is how simple it is, at least at the beginning. Would still 100% recommend this to others.
- Carrie Arnold · v1.1.9
Amazing game!!!
- Deshan · v1.1.9
I’m having a blast with Serial Cleaner! It’s such a unique spin on the stealth genre. Instead of being the one causing the chaos, you’re the 'cleaner' stepping into these vibrant, 1970s-style crime scenes to vacuum up blood and dispose of evidence.
- Gabriel Ayala · v1.1.9
Would've 5 stars, but: 1.) blood cleaned gets stuck at 99% even though I've cleaned up all the blood. 2.) my progress didn't get saved. I reached Contract 17 two days ago, but I went back to the game just now and suddenly I'm only up to Contract 13. That's 4 levels of progress lost.
- Diana Rose Espadilla · v1.1.9
I find this game to be boring and repetative. its heavily stylised but thats all it has going for it. I cant believe someone spent so much time and effort making little cutscenes for each level when the levels are so basic.
- johnny pumper · v1.1.9
try it!
- Cole Bell · v1.1.9
This game is entertaining with a funny aspect to it! Great time passer
- Courtney Lohrey · v1.1.9
Great game but it glitches so bad. the controls are off or do not show up at all. Especially when two actions are close to each other. At one point they disappeared entirely and I had to start a clean completely over. I completed a clean at one point but it didn't save. Its frustrating. I want to finish the game but idk if I have the patience.
- Jazzlyn R. · v1.1.9
The premise is great, the levels are built well enough, nice aesthetic. But the controls aren't great, and the context button for performing actions frequently wouldn't show up in spite of the interaction highlights being present, which makes the game more or less unplayable.
- Iblim the Snugglebug (Ibby)
pretty dull. uninstalled after a few levels.
- Patrick Babayans
fun
- Ricardo Quijada · v1.1.9
Seems promising and easy to understand. The gameplay looks smooth and well-designed, but the graphics style just isn’t my taste/style.
- Haisun · v1.1.9
Good game, but my data got resetted for an unknown reason. Was on contract 8, and the next day, I was back on contract 3 with no access to the levels I completed
- Isaac Matthews
I like the style and concept of this game but an having trouble with the controls (tablet) which can be unpredictable and not responsive. If the joystick could stay fixed in one spot or if you could move with tapping/dragging, it would suit touchscreen much better at least for me. The timing for sneaking around is really tight, even from the first levels, so it feels overly punishing with the controls as is. I like the gameplay loop and I like how customizable the layout is.
- Ellen Boring · v1.1.9
Honestly, horrible control. Which sometimes disappeared when needed. Cop ai that crazier than older metal gear solid ai and bad level layout. I am glad i have google play pass before buying this game to lost interest and rage quit after 5 contracts.
- Sahid Mada · v1.1.9
great atmosphere and fun writing. gameplay is straightforward but it could still benefit from a tutorial and/or introductory session.
- Ernest Williams · v1.1.9
this is great the control are okay not the best but the rest so good it's like hotline Miami
- Agnieszka Buczek · v1.1.9
It is an alright game, just has a lot of glitches. when I am trying to use a shortcut or hide the option, it doesn't let me. sometimes, the game starts to lag, make close the game, and having to restart the level. Please fix 5 know I am not the only one who is having problems.
- Sara Bower · v1.1.9
it keeps dropping me a level if I close it so when I reopen i will have to play the last level over.
- Kansas VanDerBlatt · v1.1.9
While it's a good game; I like the graphics and gameplay, and it's entertaining, it's also infuriating. Sometimes, the option for hiding will disappear even if you're right next to the hiding spot, or you'll be frantically pushing the hide button and nothing happens, both leading to you getting hit and all the stuff/bodies you moved resetting. It is extremely frustrating and hard to deal with
- LennyAne KoolCid · v1.1.9
👍🏻
- Methraan Thanasegaran · v1.1.9
good game but my app only occasionally saves when i beat a story contract. ive played through to the 9th several times and it hasnt saved. ill change to 5 stars if this gets fixed. update. it wont save past the 7th contract now.
- Christopher Reiman · v1.1.9
very good and funny game but touch controls are very unintuitive, very bad... struggling with them
- João Pedro Valdez Martins Fernandes · v1.1.9
Controls are terrible and I'm guessing I was missing something or it wasn't displaying correctly on my device (OnePlus Open [foldable]) because I tried about a dozen times over the course of a couple weeks and I never could even pass the FIRST LEVEL.
- Gem Bond-Cosio · v1.1.9
surprisingly fun and repleyable
- Николай Йорданов
it's fun lol
- Hana Anadia · v1.1.9
The only cleaning I'll willingly participate in.
- Charles Peck · v1.1.9
Massively underappreciated as a game. The mechanics are slick and work flawlessly, one thing I especially noticed is that there's no clipping through walls, which is a testimony to how thought-out this game is. The cops start slowing down when they chase you, and you can use boxes to hide and blood to zoom away if you are being chased. The story is golden, not that I'm very intelligent, but I found myself clinging to the story as I progressed. Overall, a fun and engaging little game.
- Logan Partridge · v1.1.9
boring
- under cover · v1.1.9
I like the game, but a lot of the game functions don't work at times making it incredibly hard to play. The biggest issue is the hand button needed to interact (such as move or hide) doesn't always populate when near something that can be interacted with. This has been causing me to be "caught" over and over, despite trying to hide. Hoping this can be fixed.
- Sierra · v1.1.9
Enjoyed evading the police and collecting bodies. At times, it can be frustrating as I had to retry multiple times and bugs are encountered such as the action button missing right when you need to hide. Workaround is to move away from the object then come back so the button will appear. The map can be confusing but overall the game is fun. Levels had to be restarted sometimes as blood cleanup is stuck at 99%. Completed all the achievements too and played in mobile. 🤭
- Kristin Fon · v1.1.9
Couldn't even get into a playable area of the game. The main menu buttons take me to a secondary screen, but no tapping or swiping I do on that second screen does anything except for tapping the "back" button. Uninstalled.
- John Durden
great game all around
- Matthew L · v1.1.9
Solid game honestly and a lot of fun. My only issue is that the controls are a little off. sometimes the icon to hide or to move things doesn't show up. Its a pain to be back at the beginning of a level because the hide button went missing. Otherwise its a great game, challenging and overall no complaints!
- Stephanie Reyes · v1.1.9
couldn't even play it in story mode
- kitty chelle
Terrible gameplay, the game is too hardcore from the first level. That's absolutely best bad example how you should build your gameplay. Don't waste your time play pass subs ;)
- Andrius Baginskas · v1.1.9
It's a good game. I liked the story but the problem with this game is that there are some bugs in it, one of which was that the interaction button keeps disappearing sometimes especially in the last stage, which made it hard for me to complete it quickly. And sometimes I got stuck in the wall while moving and other times the joystick didn't work after picking up a body and there were slight delays with the joystick.
- Satya Prakash
control sucks
- Alyssa Austin
I want to like it but it's just absolutely riddled with bugs
- Sampson Crowley · v1.1.9
entertaining
- Hubert Velasquez · v1.1.9
decent game when it works. the action buttons will randomly stop working. usually when you need to use them to hide etc. it happens alot.
- Joseph Hager · v1.1.9
Controls are too hard to use
- Krystal
That wasn't what I thought it would be like at all. Running from the cops with a body you just stole right in front of them, then everything going back to normal like "it must have been the wind" just didn't work for me. I guess I was hoping for a detailed crime scene cleanup game instead of a sneaky item-fetching game.
- B TOSUN · v1.1.9
UI is so tiny, can't play the game
- Anthony Nichols · v1.1.9
Insane amount of bugs. Which doesn't matter when it's a puzzle and you can do things slowly or just get caught. Tunnels didn't work half the time as button didn't show up. Who cares as progress is saved. Made the game twice as hard. Last level I finally beat with broken tunnels by just not using them much. Then game bugs out fully. Remove the last level that's basically broken and this is a top tier game. Shame it ends on such a bad note.
- Jurij Fedorov · v1.1.9
fun but controls are a bit annoying and you end up getting stuck on furniture.
- W G
Great! Absolutely loved it.
- Kartik Thakur · v1.1.9
really fun gameplay and the art style and music are wonderful
