Literally unlike any other game I have played, Serial Cleaner is about a professional crime scene cleaner in the mid-'70s. Who thinks of this kind of stuff? Serial Cleaner was developed by Draw Distance and published by Curve Digital and e2w and features a narrative-driven, fast-paced stealth/action story with a 1970s vibe and aesthetic. The music is also fantastic. … [Read more...] about Serial Cleaner: So This is What It’s Like Cleaning up After the Mob
