Serial Cleaner, the crime-scene cleanup puzzler, is making a comeback! Originally released in 2019, this title is returning, but the extent of its revamp remains uncertain. Will it be a polished re-release or simply a modernized port? Only time will tell.
The game throws you into the gritty, yet cartoonish, 1970s. As Bob Leaner, your job is to meticulously clean up mob crime scenes, disposing of bodies, wiping away blood, and erasing any evidence of their violent acts—all while evading watchful police officers.
The original Serial Cleaner, reviewed in 2019, received mixed reviews, praised for its potential but criticized for being somewhat unfinished. Developer Plug-In Digital is now self-publishing the mobile version, suggesting a chance for improvement.
A Retro Revival?
Available for pre-registration now, with a February 11th, 2025 release date, the extent of the changes remains unclear. While a significant overhaul would be welcome, given the time elapsed since the original launch, such hopes might be unrealistic.
The core concept remains captivating, but a simple mobile re-release dampens expectations slightly. However, Android and iOS users who missed out or experienced compatibility issues will likely appreciate this second chance.
