Therefore, throughout this review, I will be discussing in detail, due to the gameplay, some violent imagery. Developers Draw Distance have commented that they were inspired by gritty 90s cult classics Reservoir Dogs, The Usual Suspects, and Pulp Fiction, movies that are notorious for not holding back on making their violence extremely graphic. Let me preface by saying that Serial Cleaners isn’t for the squeamish. The location of these celebrations is symbolic due to the fact that these characters do specialise in the business of erasing the blood off the hands of those whose palms are already very dirty. The top-down, stealth crime adventure is set in a funeral parlour where four crime scene cleaners discuss their biggest jobs of the decade and reminisce about how they got into the business. Serial Cleaners, the sequel to 2017’s Serial Cleaner, is set in New York on New Years’ Eve of 1999 and centres around a very different kind of celebration.

Do you remember New Years’ Eve 1999? The Prince song was played on repeat for weeks beforehand, we were all scared that everything would collapse, the new millennium was looming, and teenage me was half petrified half exhilarated by the prospect of welcoming the 00s.
