Serial Cleaner is a story-driven, fast-paced stealth/action game, characterized by a 1970s theme and aesthetics.
You are a professional cleaner. Your job is to clean up murder scenes by disposing of bodies, cleaning up blood stains and hiding incriminating evidence. A good cleaner never gets caught so you have to make sure you get in, clean up and get out without leaving a trace of evidence for the police to find.

Nagyon vicces kis ugyessegi jatek. Csak ajanlani tudom. Kepregeny stilusu grafika. Konnyu kezeles, jo feladvanyok. Csupa pozitiv
В игре из хорошего только арт, остальное посредственное, кривой ИИ, который постоянно упирается в стены и застревает, и в сантиметре от которого можно залезть в коробку и он вдруг потеряет тебя каким-то образом. Почти весь текст в игре(диалоги, "записки") совершенно неинтересный и скучный(ещё и проскипать быстро нельзя). Довольно однообразные задания и отвратительно управление. 3/10.
Serial Cleaner is a straightforward game. I feel that the plot of the story isn't the main attraction, but rather the completion and collection of items in levels. I played this on PC and the control mechanisms were very easy and smooth. I really liked the 2D graphics and the colour scheme of the entire game.
It's a good game when you don't necessarily want to use your brain to solve puzzles
键鼠操作太反人类了玩不下去
好玩
Controls are a bit unpolished. I didn't like the "action" gameplay.
The music sounds very good though!
后面几个合同有点恶心 而且已经开始产生游玩疲惫感
Since the last update, the game is unplayable on controller. Keeps getting stuck in cleaner sense with no option to escape.
pity becaus ethis was a very fun game prior to the DLC/patch that messed it up.
Кажется... Пора прибраться в своей комнате.

Piacevole e ben fatto
Dość przyjemna i prosta gra logiczno-zręcznościowa na 1-2 wieczory.
不孬，但要动脑子
Really good game, love the story, the artstyle, the game mechanics, and everything else. The thing that made me write this comment however, was the M*A*S*H reference on the tv in contract 8. "There are rules in war. Rule number one is young men are going to die. Rule number 2 is that no matter how hard doctors work they won't change rule one."
挺不错的小游戏的，画风很吸引我，就是后期有些关卡难度还是有些高，比较容易卡关
Cleaning up blood in real life is not this much fun.

9/10
Um jogo simples, divertido e com uma história interessante.
Esse é um bom jogo para jogar quando você quer jogar algo tranquilo e que não tenha que pensar muito, mas ainda sim quer um pouco de desafio.
Minha nota é alta porque apesar do jogo ser simples e bem direto, ele cumpre oque promete e seria injusto ao meu ver comparar outros jogos que tenham ideias diferentes, achei bem balanceado e feito da forma certa sendo um jogo bom nesse estilo mesmo "limitado" a simplicidade.

I played all of the 20 story contracts and only the first 2 bonus ones. Sadly, I did not realize I had to pick up film rolls from the 20 story levels in order to unlock the 10 additional ones and I am not sure whether I have the patience to do that now, maybe in the near future. The bonus levels seem to be more creative so I would like to play them at some point.
The game was decent. Yes, the gameplay loop does get repetitive, but that's what happens with most games so I can't really complain much about that. The variety of the maps, the story and the new additions to the gameplay (new enemies, shortcuts, moving objects) make up for the repetitiveness. Some levels are harder while others are easier, some maps are huge while others are small. I do appreciate that very much since it would have been a hassle if they got progressively harder and harder.
It's always nice to try and find the patterns of the enemies, sneak past them, but failing is very harsh. You lose all the level's progress and have to start again. It would have been nicer to keep the progress when you die or at least have the option to do so. I'm not a fan of stealth games so this was very annoying for me. I think what kept me hooked and determined to finish the game, especially towards the end, was the story. I got attached to the only person in the main character's life, she's very sweet. The music is nice, visuals are simple, yet charming. Overall, sadly not my favourite game, but good enough to be pretty enjoyable.
EDIT: Played the 10 bonus contracts too, they were fun. Sadly, the game has bugged achievements (please fix them?) otherwise I would have had 100% at the moment. The Nocturnal and Stickler achievements have issues so it's very disappointing to me. There are also some bugs, the cops sometimes get stuck (which helps since it makes thing easier, but still) or keep their aggro and they're very speedy at all times. All in all, an enjoyable game and I got a bit addicted to it, but still not the best.

手柄适配刚玩的时候就有问题，清道夫视野要么点不开要么关不上，好久没玩了bug不但没修好感觉更严重了？？键鼠的键位更是反人类，让玩家用方向键来操作，键位功能分配也是乱七八糟，完完全全没有考虑过玩家的键盘普遍使用习惯。操作烂成这样我真的没有多余的耐心去想怎么过关
yayyy
Recomendado. Tiene una dificultad bien equilibrada y un gameplay entretenido que te mantiene atento en todo momento. Me gustó mucho la idea de ser el “limpiador en serie”. Es un juego divertido y con bastante desafío.

Didn't even try this, because I hate the art style. Waste of Disc Space.

Bir hademe olarak suç mahallerini temizlediğimiz Serial Cleaner, geçtiğimiz yaz 8. yaşını da doldurmasıyla neredeyse antika muamelesi görecek kıvama gelmiş. Yaş benim kütüphanem için sadece bir sayı tabii ki; 2017’de çıkan bu arcade oyunu geçenlerde ilk kez denedim vallahi. Yani, bu noktada oyuna dair yorumlarımın pek bir önemi var mı emin değilim. Onca yılda Serial Cleaner’ın ikinci oyunu çıkmış ve o da çıkalı 3 yıl olmuş bile…
Şaka bir yana, oyunun konseptini çok beğendim ben. Konunun potansiyeli özellikle oynanış kısmında ne kadar kullanılabilmiş tartışılır ama en azından ilk bölümler gayet keyifli geçiyor. Cesetleri çöp poşetiyle ortadan kaldırıyor, yerdeki kanları paspaslıyorsunuz falan. Tabii bunları yaparken polise de yakalanmamanız gerekiyor. İlerleyen bölümlerde ise içerik yelpazesine pek bir şey eklenmiyor, buradaki eksiği gördüğüm kadarıyla bölümleri gitgide zorlaştırarak kapatmaya çalışmışlar. Eh, bu durum zorluk sevenler için iyi olabilir ama tek başına oyuna devam ettirecek bir unsur da olmadı benim için. Bu arada, yapay zeka 2017 şartları için bile oldukça kötüydü.

不错的免费游戏，一开始有点难，适应后久很爽
Juegardo. Me lo compré porque tenía un descuento y no me arrepiento en lo absolito. El juego es fácil de entender, pero no por eso fácil de pasar.
En cuanto a jugabilidad también está bastante bien, y en general es un juego que no es muy complicado, y que es una excelente opción para pasar el rato.
La trama y el estilo son originales, pero es un juego que requiere mucha paciencia (si los policías te atrapan comienzas el escenario desde cero), y yo prefiero ver cómo se seca la pintura a tener que repetir el mismo nivel varias veces.
Игра плохо состарилась. Сейчас она ощущается даже не инди проектом, а какой-то флэш игрой в браузере. Ещё там забагованый трофей, на который я потратил много времени и так его и не получил(
It has a nice authentic style to it but could not captivate me, honestly.
妈呀真好玩
手柄有恶性bug，开启犯罪视野之后无法关闭，只能重开游戏。
无法实时切换手柄和键盘。
拿键盘玩没改键手感怪怪的。
开了灵视之后一切都不一样了，家人们，这个工作应该就是牢A的工作吧？太搞了，这也是收高达啊
bro limpa sangue com aspirador de pó, queria que fosse facil assim tnc
The game is quite boring for me
Nunca me había planteado que en algún momento de mi vida iba a estar gritándole al un policía por pillarme por decimonovena vez limpiando un charco de sangre y recogiendo una máscara de payaso del suelo, sin duda, es cine. 10/10.
Игра в целом понравилась. Уровни разнообразные, не чувствуются одинаковыми, а каждые 2–3 миссии появляются новые противники и механики, поэтому геймплей не надоедает. История сначала простая, но примерно к 5 эпизоду начинает нормально раскрываться и становится интереснее.
Некоторые уровни довольно сложные — приходилось перепроходить по много раз, иногда раз по 10, пока не подберёшь нужную тактику. Это и бесило, и затягивало одновременно. Из минусов — бывают баги, когда враги застревают из-за предметов на карте, но случается не так часто.
Отдельный плюс за музыку: саундтрек вообще не напрягает, а на отдельных уровнях идеально попадает в атмосферу и стиль игры.
В итоге — не идеал, но очень крепкая и атмосферная игра, пройти точно стоит. Оценка 7 из 10
更新了个什么东西啊。以前手柄还能玩现在手柄完全不能用，rt lt都是还能开不能关，全局地图和吸尘器关不上。存档也没了，谁告你这么更新的你疯了吗

Dude, its good for some hours
Serial Cleaner is a very unique indie game. It’s a top-down, level-based action/stealth experience where you are tasked with cleaning up crime scenes after murders have already occurred. Your job is to get rid of blood, bodies, and evidence without being seen by the police that patrol these areas. The idea itself is what immediately makes the game stand out.
[h1] Gameplay [/h1]
Gameplay is fairly simple and easy to understand. You can’t kill anyone; instead, you sneak around groups of enemies while doing the cleaning jobs you’ve been hired for. Before each level, you return home, where you receive phone calls giving you some context, such as how many bodies to expect.
If a cop spots you, they immediately start chasing you. You either manage to outrun them and hide, or you get caught and the mission restarts from the beginning. Some levels can become annoying because they’re relatively short, but replaying them over and over after getting caught near the end can wear you down quickly. Getting spotted while dragging the last body back is especially frustrating.
Planning your escape route is also important. A level doesn’t simply end once you finish cleaning, you need to safely make your way back to your car to escape the area. While the mechanics are straightforward, the game does require patience and planning. It’s definitely worth trying out just for how unique the gameplay concept is, even if the repetition can sometimes get to you.
[h1] Graphics [/h1]
Visually, the game keeps things light and stylized, relying heavily on a reddish color palette that fits the theme perfectly. The blood effects and puddles are surprisingly detailed, and everything runs smoothly throughout the experience.
The colors are vibrant without being overwhelming, and the game manages to establish a distinct visual identity compared to other top-down stealth games. There’s also a solid variety of costumes for the main character, offering different looks without affecting gameplay. The character models and environments are well designed and consistently readable, which helps during stealth-heavy moments.
[h1] Story and Atmosphere [/h1]
You play as a man living with his mother, trying to make a living for both of you, but you end up getting involved with the wrong people and pulled deeper into the business of cleaning up crime scenes for criminals. Over time, you start wanting out of this line of work, while your mother remains unaware of what you’re really doing, aside from hearing news reports on TV about a serial killer.
The story isn’t the main focus of the game and mostly serves as context between missions, but it’s surprisingly deeper than you might expect for a game built around this kind of concept. The sound design and music do a good job of setting the mood, even though there’s no voice acting. While voiceovers could have helped bring the characters to life, the atmosphere still comes together nicely through visuals, sound, and dialogue.
Many players seem to appreciate the game’s unique premise and its 1970s-inspired aesthetic, although some also find the repetition and stealth mechanics a bit frustrating. This mixed but generally positive reception lines up well with my own experience.
[h1] Final Thoughts [/h1]
Serial Cleaner is a pretty enjoyable and interesting little game that I’d recommend picking up on sale. It has a cool and innovative idea, mixing stealth gameplay with cleaning up crime scenes, and it’s backed by a storyline that’s deeper than expected.
I enjoyed my time with it overall, and it offers around 6 to 9 hours of gameplay if you’re going for all achievements. It’s a very fun game to play through over a day or two, especially as a short break from bigger, more demanding titles. Not perfect, but definitely memorable in its own way.
[h1] Rating: 6/10 [/h1]
Niezły crap żeście usmażyli, tak niesatysfajcjonującego gameplayu nie doświadczyłem dawno,
Game saves were deleted after a recent update, most achievements can be bugged beyond saving (the only solution is to completely delete sames from your PC and Cloud, and even then that doesn't always work), PC controls are terrible (you have to play with the arrow keys) and you can't rebind them. Yet the devs have time to work on a paid DLC without fixing the base game issues...
Limpiar asesinatos y no morir en el intento, increíble juego, lo disfrute cada minuto, me lo regalaron en steam y lo compre en mi nintendo switch lo pase 2 veces, que juegazo. Lo jugaba con música rock de fondo que termino generando el ambiente perfecto, lo volvería a jugar otra vez.
LIMPIO MEJOR EN ESTE JUEGO QUE EN MI CUARTO
Cool idea.
Eh game.
It's feels like a flash game

쏠쏠하게 재미있긴 한데 당신이 그 스테이지에서 얼마나 달성했든 한번이라도 등짝을 보이면 스테이지 다시 해야하는데 그 때의 스트레스만 감당할 수 있다면 충분히 클리어까지 달릴 수 있을 것입니다.
그 점 말고는 잠입하는 재미가 꽤 있어요.

That “just one more run” loop we grew up on hits every time. Its so addicting.
Short, stylish, and satisfyingly old-school.

15小时全成就，很久之前玩的了，游戏荒的时候突然看到来写一下评测
绝对的小而美游戏，超级好玩。我们是一个犯罪现场清洁工，要躲避警察把现场清理干净，是个潜行游戏，比那个新出的3D犯罪清洁工更多了一些刺激感在里面hhh。故事讲的不错，音乐也好听，而且收拾完居然还有一种强迫症被满足的爽感，100%血迹清除并不是难事。关卡难度也是循序渐进，后面的关卡还是挺需要动脑子智斗的，虽然时间有点久远了但是这个游戏给我的印象是非常好的。我感觉可以跟party hard坐一桌，一个杀人一个收拾尸体，差不多类型的游戏，而且确实都挺让人上头的。
Sure, the art style is charming.
But this is probably the most unresponsive game I've ever played in recent times with the most awkward keyboard control scheme that you cannot rebind to your own keys in any shape or form. It's so frustrating that it just rips you out of any immersion and kills my drive to play this game any further.
I wanted to chalk it up to something on my side, but I'm seeing people report the same. And even worse bugs. It's janky.
所有关卡我都百分百清理了，洁癖狂成就为什么没跳呢？
A very short indie game about cleaning up crime scenes with a far deeper story than i expected. The enemy ai is honestly really dumb and the fact you can jump in a closet right infront of them to avoid getting caught is dumb. The later levels feel like a drag and the game never really does anything to warrant any sense of excitement of joy
boring and kinda jank
I enjoyed the game at a good level its kind of repetitive but the different maps are something very nice and keep you interested. The music also works nice with the vibe and the art style is very nice as well. Over all i enjoy the game fun and quick !
Очень не понятная игра
After time saves disappeard.

Nagyon jó pofa egy játék.
Egyszerű, de még is nagyszerű alapvetően. Hamar megérteti veled, a játék hogy mik az alapvető teendőid. Így idővel lehet, hogy monotonná tudna válni. De annyira nem hosszú a játék, hogy ez előjöjjön.
A story egyszerű, nem lett túl komplikálva.
A játékmenet szórakoztató, de türelmesnek kell lenned ahhoz, hogy ne halj meg minden percbe. Én nekem nem az erősségem. Így azért volt, hogy nem voltam boldog.
De összességébe nagyon jó pofa cucc. Egy kört mindenképp megér.
A very cool game , i like the cleaning type of games and i said i should try this one. It is pretty good as it can be challenging too. I found it a bit unfair with how the cops behave under certain places but i love the idea of how creative you can be with environment as an advantage if you know what you are doing. The story was ok, nothing too fancy, which i understood at first what was needed to be done. I reccomand this game a try!
No mouse support.
Not able to manually rebind keybinds as far as I could tell.
It's not clear when you are hidden/behind cover.
I just found the experience more frustrating than fun.
初玩觉得有点无聊甚至想差评，后来一看发现也是一个快十年的老东西，制作组甚至还有新活要整，不太忍心了（
买的时候以为这是那个给犯罪现场打扫卫生的游戏，但其实连环清洁工的主要玩法还是stealth，你甚至不需要100%清理便能通关[spoiler]但如果为了成就的话……[/spoiler]你的绰号是清道夫，负责在被警察封锁的犯罪现场毁尸灭迹，在场景中和警察斗智斗勇清理血迹和证据等等。
美术风格和音乐以及文本风格相当独特，不同关卡的地图设计和躲藏点很好玩，但关间的跑图小剧情有点tedious，找胶片和衣服的过程也略显枯燥。希望能追加一些让玩家看这些小彩蛋的动力（比如增加一些接电话可选择的剧情和相关成就等等
成就方面-100%血迹的成就难度比较高，而且有时候真的就是几个像素的血没擦掉也算失败。。但也正是这么玩才有乐趣因为普通的通关条件有点太低了（
Гра з цікавою ідеєю, але особисто мені вона здалася нудною. Геймплей не затягує, а атмосфера і завдання не змогли пробудити інтерес.
Decent premise, fun gameplay when it works, but Buggy AF.
Firstly, I tend to play games with controllers. This one? It theoretically allows controllers, except, if you use a controller, Cleaner Sense is bugged. You can turn it on, but not off, at least not without pressing a billion different buttons until it decides to work (I find going to the menu, then back to game, then trying cleaner sense button is semi-reliable, you might have to try it a few times but eventually it works). Now, this could be solved if you maybe used the controller for most of the game and the keyboard to activate/deactive Cleaner Sense, right? Nope! If you start a game on keyboard, you gotta finish that way, and same with controller. Btw, menus are also buggy on controller (though at least THERE) you can switch to keyboard if it's being annoying.
But I suffered through it... only to find ACHIEVEMENTS are buggy and some of them just... stop being tracked by the game. It's different for everyone apparently, but the only solve is to delete your save and start from scratch... which might be fine if it's like "play a mission 20 times" or something, but if it's "clean 100% of blood" it means you gotta play the WHOLE game again, get perfect blood cleaning on every level (a pain in the ass itself) and hope this time, it works.
If a game is that bug-infested, I can't recommend it, even if the basis of the game is fun.

Serial Cleaner, developed by Draw Distance and published by Curve Games, is a clever and stylish stealth-action title that puts a unique spin on crime fiction by letting players experience the aftermath of murder rather than the act itself. Instead of playing as a killer or detective, you take on the role of a professional “cleaner,” a man hired by the mob to remove bodies, mop up blood, and dispose of incriminating evidence before the police can uncover the truth. Set in the 1970s, the game’s premise immediately distinguishes it from the sea of conventional stealth games, replacing lethal weaponry and violence with vacuum cleaners, body bags, and quick thinking. It’s a concept that oozes dark humor and originality, and it builds an entire gameplay loop around the tension of sneaking through active crime scenes, hiding behind furniture, and dragging corpses past patrolling officers under the blare of funky music and sirens.
At its core, Serial Cleaner plays like a blend of puzzle and stealth game. Each level is presented in a top-down view and tasks the player with cleaning up a murder site—removing bodies, wiping blood stains, and collecting evidence—all while avoiding the line of sight of the police. The player has no means of combat; stealth, timing, and spatial awareness are the only tools available. The levels are cleverly designed as miniature stealth arenas that reward observation and planning. Patrol routes, hiding spots, and environmental noise all become crucial elements in determining success. A single mistake can send guards rushing to your location, forcing you to dash for cover or reset the encounter. What makes this formula engaging is how the player’s tools double as potential liabilities—using your vacuum cleaner too long, for instance, might alert nearby enemies. The balance between urgency and precision creates a constant sense of tension, and every successful cleanup feels both earned and absurdly funny.
The game’s art direction plays an enormous role in defining its identity. Serial Cleaner channels a groovy 1970s aesthetic through its use of bold, flat colors, stylized shapes, and exaggerated character designs. The palette is full of oranges, yellows, and browns—evoking the era’s film posters and pulp crime magazines. The soundtrack, packed with jazzy basslines and funky percussion, perfectly complements the theme, making each mission feel like a scene from a forgotten grindhouse flick. This visual and audio combination gives the game an irresistible sense of personality. Despite its dark subject matter, the tone is lighthearted and self-aware, often leaning into comedic absurdity rather than morbid realism. The writing adds to this charm, with the protagonist’s witty monologues and the game’s tongue-in-cheek humor preventing the concept from ever becoming too grim.
While Serial Cleaner’s concept is undeniably fresh, its mechanics show both strengths and limitations. The stealth system, though simple, functions well within its scope. Movement is responsive, line-of-sight detection is clear, and the ability to hide in furniture or closets keeps tension high. However, the AI can sometimes feel predictable, and once the player learns the guards’ behaviors, many levels can be cleared through repetition rather than ingenuity. Later stages attempt to remedy this with more complex layouts, tighter patrol routes, and added objectives, but the core gameplay loop remains largely the same throughout. The developers introduced randomized object placement and dynamic patrols to increase replayability, but these additions don’t always create meaningful variation. Still, for players who enjoy refining their approach, replaying levels to achieve faster times or cleaner runs provides solid incentive.
Despite its simplicity, the game occasionally dips into moments of unexpected brilliance. Certain missions introduce environmental twists—such as outdoor settings or more vertical layouts—that change how you think about movement and line-of-sight. Some stages also include subtle storytelling through background details, offering glimpses into the seedy underworld that employs the cleaner’s services. These narrative touches are minimal but effective, adding texture to the otherwise gameplay-focused experience. The humor, too, remains consistent throughout, striking a tone that feels both cynical and oddly charming. There’s something inherently satisfying about turning grisly crime scenes into spotless spaces, and the game leans into that satisfaction without ever losing its comedic edge.
In terms of longevity, Serial Cleaner is a concise experience, usually taking under ten hours to complete. It doesn’t overstay its welcome, delivering its ideas efficiently and maintaining a steady rhythm of new levels and challenges. However, its brevity and lack of deeper systems may leave some players craving more variety or complexity. The game’s strength lies in its concept and presentation rather than in elaborate mechanics or expansive world-building. It’s a focused work—more of a stylistic statement than a sprawling simulation—but within that focus, it achieves something memorable.
Ultimately, Serial Cleaner stands as a smart and inventive indie title that thrives on its originality, atmosphere, and humor. Its blend of stealth gameplay and crime-scene absurdity offers a fresh perspective on a genre often obsessed with violence and spectacle. By turning cleaning into an act of rebellion and survival, Draw Distance crafted a game that feels simultaneously retro, comedic, and tense. It’s not perfect—the AI can be forgiving, and the repetition can creep in—but its visual flair, quirky premise, and rhythmic stealth gameplay give it a lasting charm. For players looking for something stylish, distinct, and satisfyingly different from typical stealth fare, Serial Cleaner delivers a refreshing and bloody good time.
Rating: 8/10
画风独特的潜行游戏，玩法也很有意思
boring.
Игра НЕ повторюсь НЕ стоит своих денег
A reversion of the classic trope, this is a fiendishly well-made stealth game of cleaning up after the mob's done their business and the cops are on the scene. Great fun!
Dexter vibe
个人手残，感觉有点难。要是有个多人玩法就好了
讚啦
So, I selected WASD controllers from the menu, and the ingame help was telling me to press "A" to pick up an item. I tried, but I just couldn't enjoy it. Looks horrible, plays horrible.
隔了很长时间，想着把全成就打了。结果我存档呢？？？我存档呢？？？直接从头开始？？红豆泥？
选中文之后字大小不一，有些缩一块甚至根本看不清。
那个挑战模式也消失了，啊？更新的时候发生什么了？？
但是说一千道一万……把我存档还来！！！还我存档啊！！
