“You are a cleaner of wetworks. You must clean up the aftermath before, but most often during, the arrival of the police. You cannot knock anyone out, let alone kill them. The entire story is an homage to famous murders.…”
“Oh, it's a cool theme, interesting to watch the character, new mechanics are gradually added, a game for 1 dollar.”

“Excellent music, not a bad plot. The game is pleasant and moderately difficult. The only downside, perhaps, is the difficulty with three-dimensional orientation in two-dimensional space.”
“This is Bob, a pancake and sandwich lover. He lives with his mom, loves playing cards, watching boxing, and listening to the radio. He works for the mafia; a client calls him, and he cleans up blood, looks for evidence,…”

“An excellent indie stealth game. We play as Bob the cleaner, we are given various "cleaning" contracts, we clean blood, corpses, collect evidence, the main thing is not to get caught by the cops! In general, a wonderful…”
“Not particularly remarkable, but atmospheric and a decent indie game. You stealthily clean up blood, evidence, and corpses from crime scenes before the cops see you. Don't expect anything big from it, get it on sale and…”

“A sweet and short game for a couple of evenings, here we walk through crime scenes and get rid of evidence right in front of the police. What's interesting is that during the missions we find film reels and then we can…”
“A very stylish "puzzle game". Something like Hotline Miami in appearance. It takes about 9 hours to complete all levels and achievements. It could have been made harder. Pretty casual settings are standard for level…”
“I love small indie games that can be fully completed inside and out in about ten hours. And I love arcade stealth. This game combines both of these + a very pleasant visual style.”

“Since the last update, the game is unplayable on controller. Keeps getting stuck in cleaner sense with no option to escape. Pity because this was a very fun game prior to the DLC/patch that messed it up.”

“The controls are terrible. Both M+KB and Controller are so beyond unpolished it's not even funny. Unresponsive doesn't even begin to express the issues. How does a game go this long without fixing that simple of an…”

“The game could have been normal if they had decided to add some management like in House Flipper, but the developers decided to add their magnificent plot. By the way, the plot is disgusting, it just hinders the game,…”
“The game has broken stealth mechanics, or none at all, making it more of a puzzle. The plot and style are uninteresting. Fans of simple stealth or puzzle games might enjoy it, but I don't recommend it to anyone else.”

“[b] My review after 100% completion: [/b] This is a very interesting of some sorts of stealth action game. You’ll have to kill, then move and hide the corpse without being caught. Although this is a short game with just around 10+ hours of gameplay, the level design is very well…”
