Murder Moppin' and Stealth Scrubbin!
Let's talk about "Serial Cleaner," a slapstick stealth puzzler that follows the adventures of a cleaner tasked with disposing of bodies and evidence after gruesome murders. The game's premise is a blend of stealth pathfinding and cartoon hijinks, where you dodge guards, manipulate objects, and strategize your way through crime scenes.
The Cleaner, drowning in gambling debts and living with his mom, is good at his job, but the game's inconsistencies create a dissonance. He should get to the crime scenes before the cops, like John Wick's cleaning crew or Pulp Fiction's Winston Wolf, but instead, he's always a step behind.
As you progress through the game's 20 levels, the stages become more elaborate, offering more paths and distractions. The gameplay involves dodging guards' vision cones, hiding in plants, and using clever tactics to avoid detection. However, one glaring issue is that every trip to a hiding spot causes the pursuers to quickly give up, which feels cheap and breaks immersion.
Despite this flaw, the loop of methodically clearing an area and making an escape can be rewarding. Figuring out the different paths and shortcuts adds to the charm of the game. Still, the mechanics of being a stealth game are not fully nailed down, and the implementation of hiding spots feels like a cop-out.
"Serial Cleaner" excels in its aesthetic, referential material, and concept, but it falls short in fully delivering as a stealth game. Despite its frustrations, it offers a unique and enjoyable experience for those who can overlook its flaws. So, if you're up for some humorous stealth puzzling with a touch of disarray, "Serial Cleaner" might just be the game for you.

I give it a thumbs up for the first dozen or so levels, but they get more painful due to a lack of intra-level save points plus in later levels you have instant fail states if you are spied by certain enemies which combines to become a frustrating experience. However I got it heavily discounted and enjoyed my time so I'll stop playing before i dark souls rage.
