I have been playing a lot of Hitman 3 lately, and whilst I do tend to go for the quiet route, things can get out of hand. Screwdrivers are thrown, someone might inexplicably explode, and it's all a right ruddy mess. You never think about the aftermath of these bloodbaths, but with the mobile release of Serial Cleaner on the horizon, you might change your tune.
Serial Cleaner places you in the shoes of Bob C. Leaner, and with a name like that, what else are you going to grow up to be? Besides a rather slanted tower in Pisa. Anyway, faulty foundations aside, you are a man contracted by the mob to clean up the evidence of their hits and other nefarious activities.
The big problem, however, is that your mob affiliates aren’t really that subtle. To which, every one of these crime scenes is crawling with police who won’t take kindly to you washing away evidence. You need to go about your business as quietly and effectively as possible to accomplish your goal and ensure you aren't captured.
You will need to clean up those pesky bodies, wash away the blood stains, and dispose of any tools of the trade you might see lying around. If the cops catch you in the act, or even hear you making too much noise, they will start hunting you down as the Benny Hill music kicks in, in my mind at least. Luckily Bob is a wiley sort and can make use of a few hiding spaces dotted around each level.
Something that sets Serial Killer apart from its’ kin is that the police AI is actually quite smart. On their patrols, if they notice that a body or item of evidence is missing, they will actually notice instead of just carrying on their route. Sure, this does give you a huge window to do illegal things behind as they wonder if the dead body was actually dead and not just napping. Regardless, it's a nice change of pace from those AIs who miss the fact that the giant shotgun that was on the floor two minutes ago is now gone.
Serial Cleaners is available to pre-order from the App Store and Google Play ahead of its February 11th release date.
