The 2022 sequel, Serial Cleaners , shifts the setting to 1990s New York and introduces a more complex, narrative-driven structure.
: Players must dispose of cadavers (often by hauling them to a vehicle or a woodchipper), "hoover up" large blood spills, and pocket incriminating evidence like murder weapons.
: A brutal cleaner who can use a chainsaw to dismember bodies into smaller pieces, which can then be used as distraction tools.
: A hacker who can manipulate electronics, vents, and security systems to distract guards.
The franchise, developed by Draw Distance , is a unique stealth-action series that subverts traditional gaming tropes by focusing on the aftermath of violence rather than the act itself. Instead of playing as a soldier or an assassin, players step into the role of a professional "cleaner"—a mob fixer tasked with scrubbing crime scenes of bodies, blood, and evidence before the police can secure the area. The Core Concept: Cleaning Up the Chaos
: Success depends on monitoring enemy "cones of vision," using environment-specific "hidey-holes," and exploiting the AI's predictable patrol patterns.
