Serial Cleaner is a fast-paced stealth action game set in 1970s America where you play as a professional mob cleaner. Your job is to dispose of the bodies, clean away blood stains and hide evidence - all while avoiding the police. Stay out of sight, work quickly and make sure no trace of the crime remains. A good cleaner never gets caught! Whether it's stowing them in your wagon or tossing them off a skyscraper - make sure those bodies don't see the light of day! Who knew bodies had so much blood?... Vacuum up as much as you can to ensure the police don't suspect a thing! Murder weapon left behind? Incriminating documents left scattered? Whatever it is, make sure the police don't get to it before you do! The best cleaners are never seen or heard, so use every trick at your disposal to hide and avoid getting caught! – Twenty story-driven contracts to complete in the 70s-inspired campaign – Eleven themed outfits to unlock - Clean up and jive to the funky 70s inspired soundtrack – Multiple 'Challenges' for each campaign contract with community leaderboards
