The primary difference between the two is that in Serial Cleaner you’re a non-aggressive character and are more often than not responsible for cleaning up the messes of the character from Hotline Miami. This intrigue is built on between each mission as you listen to the radio, watch TV and check the newspaper each day for hints about what is going on in the world at large.Īs you can probably tell, the game has a lot in common with and in some ways owes a lot to Hotline Miami. There is a decent amount of hinting at a wider story concerning a serial killer, and the infamous Zodiac Killer is mentioned several times. Because of the time period of its setting, the game is heavily stylized to fit with the aesthetics that the 70s brought us, lots of browns, reds and moustaches. The storyline of the game mainly follows the cleaner’s daily life as he lies to his mother about the type of job he does and tries to stay one step ahead of the police while trying to survive the American suburbs of the 70s. The game follows the exploits of a ‘cleaner’, a man hired by criminals to clear away their messes so they don’t get caught by the police. Sometimes the name of a game can convey its entire premise in a split second, and Serial Cleaner is definitely one of them.
