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. Will it be a refined re-release or simply a modernized port? Only time will tell.

The game throws you into the gritty, yet humorous, world of 1970s urban decay. As Bob Leaner, your job is to discreetly eliminate evidence of mob violence – bodies, bloodstains, the whole shebang – all while dodging the ever-watchful police.

Remember our 2019 review? The consensus was that Serial Cleaner showed promise but felt somewhat incomplete. Developer Plug-In Digital is now self-publishing this mobile version, offering a chance to rectify any shortcomings.

A Fresh Coat of Paint?

Pre-registration is open, with a planned release date of February 11th, 2025. While the extent of the improvements remains unclear, a polished re-release would be a welcome change considering the mixed initial reception. However, given the time elapsed since the original launch, significant enhancements might be optimistic.

The core concept remains captivating, but a simple mobile port feels somewhat underwhelming. Nevertheless, Android users who missed out, or those experiencing compatibility issues with older iOS versions, might find this a pleasant surprise.
