Crime Scene Cleaner

Surprisingly fun game - quality is higher than I expected for an indie game. Definitely worth it.

So while I will say this game is a lot of fun, there are many things I would change about it. MANY... However, I will write it out for a Pros vs Cons.

PROS:
- You have a skill tree to upgrade your skills (mops, sponges, buckets, etc.) which I thought was neat.
- Graphics wise, doesn't need a whole lot to run.
- Objectives and evidence can be found by your "Clean Sense" (Q button) which can be helpful when you're throwing garbage bags willy-nilly and need to track them down later.
- Was nice to see your base (home) change and evolve over time.

CONS:
- Horrible story telling. I get it, you're a crime scene cleaner helping your daughter with medical bills. But if you pay attention to the numbers near the beginning, by the third job you have enough to pay them off. And when you FINALLY hit the ending of the game, the whole "sick daughter" side story is nowhere in the ending. You don't know if she's alive, if she's ever going to come home. The whole build up was great, until you get to the ending and are asking "is she home? her room looks the same, she's not here, where is she?". It would have been a "happy ending" (or not-so-happy-ending) to see that element of the story in the game get all tied up with the ending.
- WHY ARE WE SMACKING THE DOG WHEN WE PET HIM?! The animation just looks awful. Please devs, fix it.
- There were some levels where I was FORCED to look at a walkthrough to find a certain piece of evidence or find a way through to progress in the level... Now keep in mind, this was after I spent an hour and a half on the level running around, mashing my Q button hoping SOMETHING would pop up on my screen.
- Personally, I'm not a fan of parkour in these types of games. The modern art level, the party cabin level, and the warehouse level were my definition of hell. I understand that some people like that type of thing, but if I'm spending an extra 30 minutes parkouring around trying to figure out where to go, I'm going to end up putting the game down and finding something else to do.
- Not having the incentive to spend your money. I understand the whole concept was to save for your daughter who is ill, but we don't have an option to do that, and it would've been nice to have that option in the game.
- I never found a need to use detergent in this game, or spend all my skill points in the tree. I never figured out how to use two sponges at the same time, so I just never used the second one.
- I don't know if this is intended or not, but when you have the option to buy two mops or sponges and equip them, it would make sense to use your scroll wheel to change between the two (so it's less trips to clean them at your bucket) ... however, sometimes the mouse scroll wheel worked, sometimes it didn't, sometimes pressing "2" worked (and again, sometimes it didn't), so I ended up just never using the second mop or sponge, which sucked because it was a lot of points spent.
- ALSO: please change the description of the final mop special attachment - you STILL need to refill at a bucket to clean your mop EVEN THOUGH the description preludes you don't have to.
- I found it incredibly difficult to navigate your tool wheel. I unfortunately don't have a solution, but it was extremely hard to navigate where stuff was hiding (I unlocked the axe as soon as I could, and found it accidentally in the last mission, and said "Oh! That's where you're hiding).


All in all, yes, it's a really cool game to spend 15 or so hours on, but: with the loose ends of the story, the UI not working 100% of the time, extensions of equipment were not always needed, and the puzzle minigames making me resort to youtube walkthroughs and Steam guides just to progress the story, I wouldn't suggest this to a friend.

hands down the best cleaning game i've played. i wish there weren't ai resources in the game but if you can look past that, the gameplay and story telling are really enjoyable. devs, please use the success of this game to replace the AI elements. it really brings down the quality of the experience you guys have made

Loved everything about this game, I need more honestly! Game play is great and easy to use all the game mechanics. The only thing I wish was in the game was the use of the money, you do all of this to pay for the characters daughters medical bills. It would've been cool to actually have the money go towards that, which motivates you to steal as much money as possible. How it is now makes the money pretty pointless, other than that its an excellent game, and left me wanting way more!

Lots of fun. Some great humour involved to help lighten the very dark scenes you have to encounter. Skill points are given out enough that the skill tree isn't a hinder and you manage to unlock most of it quite quickly so then you can focus on the enjoyment of cleaning and hearing the stories behind each scene.

I like that every level has some secrets and hidden things, keeps you on your toes.

Bonus points for being able to pet the dog!

its an awesome game, cool secrets, good story line, and it lets you pet the dog!

Play this game!! it's so good, I got addicted and finished it in a few days :( need more maps, a dlc, ANOTHER GAME PLEASE

I love horror games but never imagined I would enjoy so much cleaning the mess :)) also the small secrets and no pressure makes the game so good. I would recommend it to anyone

It's okay, it's fun at first, but the story is short. If you can have more levels, I finished it in a day.

Outstanding game
The storyline is great for a cleaning sim, keeps me engaged during the entire playthrough
The way the crime scenes are set up makes me excited to see what's on the next level
Kovalsky is voice acted amazingly and has an interesting character, just like all of the characters in game
The gameplay loop is very satisfying, if not a bit janky at times, especially when handling corpses

Overall, this game is a must-play for how amazing it is

The game is good, I am satisfied with it. BUT can you please make sure the broken items and items need to be placed don't get stuck in the walls or disappear? This caused me to restart the mission many times to get the perfect score.

Awesome game that gives you plenty of satisfaction once you finish a scene! Just wish it had more content and levels!

Lowkey a cozy game. Really enjoy playing this game when I want to turn down my brain for a bit. The game is a bit creepy cause dead bodies and all that but its still fun and I really enjoy it.

a job where I can have the satisfaction of a deep clean and throw people off buildings who get in my way SIGN ME UP

Game is very good nicely paced as jobs get both more intense and satisfying with progression and you will find yourself saying ONE MORE JOB at 3am when you should absolutely be sleeping

Absolutely loved the game and finished it in 3 days time - wish there were more or some small job cleaning added in so it could be continuedly played as I could definetly see myself just sink into it if there were more. A total recommend.

This is the best game ever. No, seriously. Its like power wash simulator but better because there's also true crime and a very accented main character who's primary weapon is a mop. I'm gonna be dreaming about how good this game is for a long time. Hey creators, please give me like 1993838835 more levels.

If you like a nice game to relax to, but you also want some blood, than this game is great for any of you violent people. The cleaning mechanics and the story it had were very nice and kept me entertained the whole way through.

I refused to shower just to get all achievements in this game... its so addicting its insane..... day 13 no shower..

It's a cleaning game with good cleaning mechanics, what else do you want from it. 10/10

i keep having this same issue where it deletes my progress on a saved slot and starts me all the way back to the second mission, i love this game but this just ruins it for me and i don't know what to do.

A fun spin on the bizarrely addicting cleaning genre. A good amount of content and variety of locations.

If I have any complaints I'd say that some of the equipment you can get doesn't seem all that helpful (placeable lights feel unnecessary once you have the flashlight), the voice acting isn't the best, and the game has some pretty heavy scenes that feel a bit tonally weird when the main character keeps cracking jokes.

But those are all relatively minor issues when the main draw is just wiping up blood, and that part is as relaxing and enjoyable as it probably doesn't sound.

An absolute MASTER PIECE! This game gives you a story with thrill while also offering a relaxing experience. The gameplay is so satisfying that even if u have all the achievements, you wouldn't mind playing it again and again. If you're like me and love games with story, thrill and satisfying gameplay I highly recommend this game.

Awesome game! Did not expect it to have a cool story, and it does! Definitely would love some DLCs to keep it going!!

it's quite fun, but i don't like how it just
ends
it felt like a story climax was approaching and then the credits started rolling and i was so confused because i was like "there should be at least 5 more missions to wrap up this plot"
that aside, it's still great and all the locations are very different and there are a lot of secrets to discover
i think my problem is that i didn't feel ready to run out of missions, heh

Relaxing and fun gameplay. Intriguing story. Various crime scenes to clean.

10/10

We need more levels or DLC.

This game is very therapeutic but also high anxiety at times. I recommend it- especially if you want to relax and rot away hours cleaning up blood & finding clues. The story line makes you feel things and the soundtrack slaps. Don't forget that Dexter is a good boy.

Strange how fun and relaxing it is to clean up blood, guts, dead bodies and the misc bag of trash! Enjoyed this A LOT and need at least 50 more cases to deal with. I need this to unwind - don't look at me like that.
And we need a happy reunion at the end!!!

For those who scared to play horror game, maybe can play this game. No jump-scare and relax. Just complete your task given.

Absolutely brilliant game, thoroughly addicting. Somehow they've managed to get the level of grind just right to where it's a really rewarding game. Nothing beats the satisfaction of walking through a sparkling room that was caked in bodily fluids and trash just a few minutes before.

Great little 10-12 hour game. Closest comparison is Power Wash Sim but its got a bit more going on than that game. I'd love to see the end of Kowalsky's story. eff Big Jim, all my homies hate Big Jim

You know a game is good when upon completion, you immediately check if more content is in the works, and the devs are cooking! This has more depth than you might expect compared to your typical cleanup simulator game you find on Steam, and an interesting narrative to help back it up. The cherry on top is the phenomenal soundtrack. If I must be critical of anything, it's the slightly awkward physics that comes with a Unity Engine game, which is to be expected. Despite that, the developers did such a great job, you hardly ever notice.

10/10 Would clean a crime scene again

I pretty much didn't stop until I beat the game. Very well designed game, hard at times or challenging. Very impressed with this game. Well worth the money. You will get about 20 hours for a full play through.

ive been playing this game nonstop. i bought it on a whim thinking it wouldnt be anything too interesting, but i was wrong. i love that its something different every time, the murders are so intricate and well designed. every new setting is something new to explore. the music in the game is good and its fun to have it playing while you clean. its a good way to zone out and as funny as it is, this game is a bit of a de-stresser. its nice to see an area go from filthy to spotless. get the game, its worth it.

It's a surprisingly fun game, majority of the levels are fun, and usually have nice hidden secrets, puzzles, and other hidden stuff around. The music is really nice too.
Solid game, wish it was longer.

9/10

This game is fantastic, and so addictive. I've completed the story, but find myself coming back to replay quite often, as despite the obvious gore, it's extremely relaxing! I love to put my headphones on, catch up on some podcasts and 'clean' all my anxiety away haha.

It feels like hybrid between Viscera Cleanup Detail and Power Washing Simulator but with the added benefit of a story with very simple problem solving.

Very Good game to spend you'r time to play

imagine if This game have multiplayer to play with friends This is be good i think so

As a veteran of other cleaning simulator games such as Viscera Cleanup Detail and Power Wash Simulator, the idea of a cleaner game with a plot intrigued me. After putting about fifteen hours into the game to complete its story, I'd say that it was certainly worth the twenty bucks.

Pros:

• The gameplay loop is pretty fun - survey a scene, pick up trash, haul bodies for disposal and wipe up blood. Relaxing and low stress, with the exception of one semi-spooky level (nothing too cruel as far as jumpscares) and a couple other slightly unexpected happenings.
  
  
• Each level is unique and visually pleasing, and each adds some manner of new mechanic: anything from needing to drain, clean and refill a pool to sorting art exhibit pieces in a ransacked museum.
  
  
• The skill tree is a nice addition, allowing you to customize your cleaning style. I raced toward not leaving bloody footprints, the bane of my hours in Viscera Cleanup Detail.
  
  
• The unlockables are a nice touch, and I had no qualms with listening to peaceful classical and ambient music as I mopped up yet another bloodstain.
  

• While the addition of a story is neat, it isn't terribly deep. I was hoping that it'd travel in some directions that it didn't end up going, and when the game was over I wanted more. Perhaps the developers will expand on some concepts in a later game, but for now the story is just "okay".
  
  
• I also found the blood clean-up a tiny bit lenient. Perhaps my hours of running around Viscera with the sniffer trying to find that stupid wayward pixel of blood has jaded me, but this game will award you full marks for getting to about 98% blood clean-up in any given area and simply wipe the rest away for you. A tiny bit of leniency is alright, but with the plethora of tools at our disposal (blacklight, "janitor sense", etc.) achieving a perfect 100% clean-up without the gimmie would have been fine.
  
  
[*]Lastly, I was easily able to 100% all primary objectives, but missed some secrets and don't feel terribly compelled to go back and look for them. Some were intuitive, requiring keys or a keen eye to locate, but others were incredibly obtuse.

this game is the best game i have ever played. i go to class and yearn to clean a crime scene. i go to work and i yearn to clean a crime scene. i go to events or boyfriend house and i yearn to clean a crime scene. i tip my bucket of blood over every single game i play but that just means more crime to clean so i do not mind. crime scene cleaner is the cleaner for me.

Despite its morbid setting, this game is extremely relaxing and satisfying. I couldn't lay it down and finished it in 3 days because it was that good. Definitely reccomended! I'd also love for the devs to add more content, or maybe a dlc of sorts. The only remark I have to make, is that the ending feels really underwhelming. I was really looking forward to some sort of interaction with Kowalskys daughter, or at least to know if she's finally healthy. That casual ending was kinda disappointing. I'd suggest you try it for yourself if you're in the mood for an relaxing evening, its time well spent.

Amazing cleaning simulator for those who love cleaning or FBI stories. The story was short but good, the gameplay was immersive and fun.

Chill casual gameplay, perfect for passively watching YouTube on the second screen (I found police interrogation videos to be fitting content). The price is very fair for the amount of content in the game (currently $30 NZD/ aprox $18 USD). The only negatives are 1) a lot of assets repeated across missions and 2) short fps drops every few minutes. After completing the game I am very satisfied and will probably go back to find the secrets I missed for achievements.

I like cozy games, I like morbid stories. This here is a morbid cozy game. It scratches an itch I didn't know I had. Keep the updates coming!

This game is very entertaining, I love the mechanics as well as the way the story progresses. This is a very thought out game which initially surprised me. you will not be disappointed with this game!

IYKYK- Where is the wedding invite?!?!?!

If you love simulators, this is a good one to get. Good story, Easter eggs, wacky stuff, and strangely calming. Depending the person, there may be some touchy subjects in it..but it is such a good game. Can't wait for more updates :D

I just thought that it going to be normal game and that it but no it surprised me with the story line which make it more fun and interesting to play so I fall in love with the game so I really want more of it

good game, great for relaxing, i mean who wouldn't relax after spending an entire hour searching for a box that was stuck on top of a ceiling lamp!

game is a bit buggy on some levels but it's great overall.

Alright, I'm just gonna be real, this game is absolutely amazing for the genre that it's in. Most of these simulator games, you kinda put off the whole idea of playing for the story. Usually the story just doesn't exist, or it's so mundane due to the fact that they were most likely focusing on features of the game and such, but this game is genuinely fantastic.

The story is genuinely fantastic, and when you play it at night just letting yourself drift into the story, you really start to feel the gravity of your constant situation looming over your head. The fact that you have no other way to financially stabilize yourself than to wipe blood out of a carpet for a few thousand bucks. The writing is great, the voice acting is fantastic and creative enough that you stay invested, and the gameplay is just mindless enough that it's perfect.

Brother, I spent so much time in this game, I watched like an entire season of Dexter while playing it, and it was just the ultimate time waster to turn your head off and chill out. I would recommend this to anyone who likes these sorts of simulation games from now until the end of time.

I desperately beg for a sequel. This game deserves it. It would be remiss to deny the fans of something like this.

I can't play horror games the same way anymore. I walk into a room full of blood and feel an instictive urge to clean it.

Also the music is absolutely peak
