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 port? Time will tell.

The game throws you into the gritty, yet cartoonish, 1970s. Think urban decay, stylish gangs, and maybe a few cinematic exaggerations (killer sharks, anyone?). You play Bob Leaner, a professional crime-scene cleaner tasked with the messy job of disposing of bodies, cleaning up blood, and generally erasing any trace of mob violence – 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 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 polished upgrade would be welcome, given the time elapsed, significant improvements might be optimistic.

The core concept remains compelling, but a simple mobile port dampens initial excitement. However, for Android users or those with iOS compatibility issues, this could be a pleasant surprise.
