Serial Cleaner

Decent, but just passable. For the type of game it was aiming to be it gets done, but with flaws. Button inputs are sometimes slow, and unresponsive, like there is a delay. It is mostly noticeable using the vacuum cleaner, and interacting with interactables when you are between missions at home. Also interactables are sometimes place too close to each other causing conflicts where you will interact with the wrong object. Also this is another game that comes with broken achievements. Nocturnal and Stickler don't prompt for me. But the game is good enough I can't give it a negative score either.

Serial Cleaner is a linear, top down stealth game where you clean up the aftermath of violent crimes. You’ll have to collect evidence, dispose of dead bodies, clean up blood, and complete various objectives from level to level. The visuals have a unique painted art style that gives the game a distinct look. The game is pretty short, but it does have some cool challenge modes that drastically change how you play. It’s definitely a niche game, but it’s a solid experience if you’re into stealth games with an unusual concept.

Serial Cleaner is a really great game. It is funny, the OST is good (may be on my top favorite OSTs, period), the level design is good as well (challenging but fair -for me at least-, I could've finished this game earlier if I knew what I was doing lol) and it has some replayability thanks to the challenge modes (I wouldn't recommend the DLC, though, since it's a "side event" of just three levels that don't add much to the story -at least if it was 10 levels per total it would have been much better-). The only issue I would say about this one is not having key binding settings. Sure the default controls are fine but let people change their control scheme based on their preferences. And another issue (maybe a nitpick with this one) would be with some achievements being glitchy. Ik the devs may have fixed some of them but then again I got stuck with only "Stickler" at the very end, even though I obviously did 100% on all levels. BUT I manage to get it done (shoutout to Malario). Also, I'll say this game could have benefited from having a Level Editor option, given the fact how the layouts are in the base game and how these could have been made by someone else and thanks to the enem…

Spent $2 on this. that was $1 too much.

Fun. I really like the art direction.

The aesthetic is really strong and the music is genuinely good, those two are easily the best parts of the game. Honestly right in the middle on this one, it's a decent game and nothing more. The controls are annoying and take some getting used to. The maps are hit or miss, some are fun, others aren't. It also gets pretty boring and repetitive if you play it in long sessions. I played it in short bursts on a handheld console instead, which made the whole thing more enjoyable. There's a story too, but honestly you can skip it without missing much. The price is way too high for what the game is offering. If you really want it to play, wait for a big discount and play it on a handheld if you have one.
