Hello dear players of Serial Cleaner, I hope you're all doing very well!

As the development process of Serial Cleaners continues, the internal builds are getting richer and richer with features, mechanics and systems. One of the goals we set ourselves while working on the design pillars of the game months ago, was to reach several different target groups of players, some very different from the other... One of such target groups is a community of fans of stealth games. Stealth as a genre boasts many sub-genres and sets of distinctive features, influencing the perspective, difficulty level, pace and dynamics, level design etc. All in all, there are squad- and turn-based, very challenging and demanding extensive planning stealth games, and there are solo, fast and arcade'y stealth games. And all in between.
This versatility allows us to design Serial Cleaners as a partly stealth game the way we like most. Stealth elements in our game are one of the most important, and we're putting lots of emphasis on providing a high-quality stealth experience! Out latest gameplay trailer, prepared specifically for our friends at Gamespot focuses exactly on two out of four playable anti-heroes, who have to clean up some messy crime scenes: Bob and Psycho. The map is called Cabin and is heavily inspired by the cult Fargo movie. Check out the trailer below or follow this LINK to watch it on Gamespot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy657_k240E Please let us know, what you think. We're especially interested in your feedback regarding the way we made Bob and Psycho complement each other in this way that Psycho has this very bloody style of removing bodies by dismembering them, while Bob smoothly disposes of all remaining gore and pieces of evidence. Please add Serial Cleaners to your wishlist and follow! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1337920/Serial_Cleaners/ As always, we encourage all of you to join our Discord channel, where you can talk directly with Serial Cleaner's and Serial Cleaners' developers! Serial Cleaners will launch in 2021! Take good care! Jacek @ Draw Distance dev team

Serial Cleaner is a story-driven, fast-paced stealth/action game, characterized by a 1970s theme and aesthetics.

MEET THE CLEANER

The protagonist is a professional cleaner, which means he takes care of cleaning up murder scenes by disposing bodies, covering up blood stains and hiding murder weapons and other incriminating evidence. He takes on jobs without asking questions, working shady assignments for the mafia, as well as taking on jobs from mysterious clients, which will put him in harm's way... more so than what he's comfortable with.

GAMEPLAY

It’s a dynamic stealth game, in which the player needs to figure out how to pick the location clean of evidence, while not getting caught. Exploring, experimenting and fast paced decision making are the key words here. Getting caught and questioned would put a black mark on the protagonist’s career and the environment is crawling with itchy-fingered police officers.

HUMOR

Serial Cleaner takes a humoristic, slightly macabre approach to its subject matter, and doesn't treat itself too seriously. Just take a look at the protagonist. He is a 30-ish man with a sharp sense of style and an iconic 70s look, complete with a mustache, large sunglasses, and tight pants.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

• fully realized 1970s-inspired setting
  
• just take a look at that art style!
  
• humor and atmosphere inspired by movies such as Fargo and Pulp Fiction
  
• playful approach to solving each level, which rewards exploration and experimentation
