'Serial Cleaners' Publishing Rights Picked Up By 505 Games, Introduces a New Cleaner And Subway Map - Trailer

Serial Cleaners is a single-player stealth action crime story in which you alternate between playing four eccentric mob cleaners taking on the bloodiest jobs the carefree 1990s had to offer.

"That's not how I remember it."

New York City, New Year's Eve 1999. An unlikely team of four professional cleaners for the mob gathers to drink and reminisce about their careers at the turn of the millennium. As the details of their stories stop matching up, the ugly truth behind their cooperation begins to reveal itself. What starts as a celebration of a decade of shared history slowly turns into a tense and dangerous standoff.

Meet them at a very strange time in their lives.

An homage to '90s cinema - from Tarantino's classics through cult crime thrillers to B-movie action favorites and more - Serial Cleaners remixes those familiar places, characters and scenes into its own unique spin on a decade full of brightly colored optimism... and the grime underneath it all. Our rich soundtrack is composed of many genres that defined the end of the 20th century, from East Coast hip-hop to industrial metal and rave. Doesn't matter if the sound of "your" '90s was defined by the clubs, the festivals, or the radio - we've got you covered.

In Serial Cleaners, each map is approached by one of the four Cleaners, and is tackled using a different skill set. In this case, Lati’s abilities are where it’s at - this highly vertical map lets her show her agility at its finest.

Latisha Thomas is a recluse who tries to look after those close to her, too often against her better judgement. Composed, even after she was stood up by her friends. Her grit was noticed by Bob who quickly took her under his wing.

Unlike Bob, she prefers to hightail rather than hide. She uses surroundings to her advantage by jumping, climbing and pushing the obstacles. She likes to do the cleaning listening to A Tribe Called Quest, De la Soul and Souls of Mischief.

"We couldn’t be more thrilled to join forces with our new partner. 505 Games is a publisher with a diverse portfolio of quality titles. Serial Cleaners joining this list makes us proud, and we’re looking forward to a great campaign followed by bringing our 90s stealth-action crime story to the global market together. - says Michał Mielcarek, CEO at Draw Distance.

“When we evaluate a game, our process generally boils down to some key points, nearly always those points include: “Is the game fun?” and “Are the developers talented?” In the case of Serial Cleaners and Draw Distance, the answer to both was a resounding “YES.” We’re thrilled to bring this game to the public and work with Michal and his team,” said Neil Ralley, President of 505 Games.

Move without sound. Clean without emotion. Disappear without trace.

Four characters, four perspectives, four play styles. Street smarts, brute force, cutting-edge tech skills or good old fashioned tricks of the trade: each will allow you to tackle a similar obstacle much differently. Choose your path through the non-linear story by picking the part of the narrative you want to hear next, and then approach each mission as carefully or brazenly as you like. Utilize stealth, exploration and speed as the situation - and your preferred experience - warrants it. Get rid of the bodies and other damning evidence to wipe the decade's slate clean before the new millennium comes!

Serial Cleaners is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) in early 2022.
