Notice For Korean Players
Hello, I am 사차지 (sachazi), who is in charge of the Korean translation for the community localization of Crime Scene Cleaner.
If you have any translation or text errors that occur while playing the Korean version of the game, please let me know separately so that I can fix and understand them. If you have any additional questions or translation-related issues while reading the article, please contact me at the email address below. Inquiries and Korean translation improvement requests: vv90618935@gmail.com
To summarize, I, a regular user, did all the translation and review of the Korean text of Crime Scene Cleaner by myself, and in the process, there were definitely some parts that I missed, whether it was translation or spelling mistakes. I hope you can understand the current translation quality of Crime Scene Cleaner at least a little and maybe even help me out with polishing it.
To read the full message addressed to Korean players, please check the Korean version of the article.
Thank you Author of the Korean Localization. Sachazi

Post-Launch Free Update Roadmap
Sup Cleaners!
Thank you for your incredible support and enthusiasm since the launch of Crime Scene Cleaner! We are so glad for such a warm reception of a game in which we poured our heart and time into. But it’s not the end of our journey and expect more content coming. We're excited to share with you our post-launch roadmap, which outlines the upcoming updates and content you can look forward to.
Phase 1: Hotfixes & QoL
Our first priority is to address community feedback and fix common errors reported by our players. We're actively working on hotfixes and quality-of-life improvements to ensure a smoother gameplay experience.
In this phase, we also invite you to report any translation errors you come across. We’re preparing to support community-created translations, so your input will be invaluable in making Crime Scene Cleaner accessible to players around the world. At this moment we are working on traditional chinese translation, but we plan to add more languages (the most requested ones) into the game. So why don’t you push us in the right direction and let us know in discord, if you need any different language to be added? In the case of not-so-well-known languages, you can contact us directly, because we know from experience that players who know the game are great and can help a lot with localization!
Phase 2: Gameplay Update
Once the initial fixes are in place, we'll shift our focus to expanding the gameplay experience. We're excited to introduce new Challenge Modes that will allow you to replay existing missions with new and exciting modifiers. These modes are currently hidden under the "unavailable" tabs, but they will soon be unlocked and ready for you to tackle! Let us know if there are any modifiers you wish to see in these challenges.
Phase 3: Act II Part 1
Finally, we'll be rolling out new content, starting with a Community Voted Map — a location chosen in a contest a while ago by you, our players! The crime scene idea that won the contest is an Underground Lab, but who knows… there might be something else coming too? After that, get ready for the next chapter in the story with Kovalsky's New Chapter, as this is not the end!
Phase 4: Act II Part 2
And lastly… that’s not the end because Kovalsky's story continues! Expect thrilling new missions, more narrative elements, and more challenges as the story unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates and thank you for being a part of the Crime Scene Cleaner! Also, remember to join our discord, if you want to share your experiences with other cleaners like you.
CONCLUSION
No worries, because the entire content from the update roadmap will be a free addition to the full game! We want to expand the base game, so every update we’ve mentioned here will be available to all players who bought Crime Scene Cleaner at no additional cost. If you already own the game, you’ll be able to hop on Crime Scene Cleaner and experience all the new content without paying a cent more.
On a related note, we’re excited to announce that the official soundtrack for Crime Scene Cleaner will be available for purchase on Steam starting August 27th! The soundtrack is a way to support our talented musicians who contributed to the game's immersive audio experience. If you’d like to show them some love, grabbing the soundtrack is a great way to do so.
Stay tuned for more updates and thank you for being a part of the Crime Scene Cleaner! Also, remember to join our discord, if you want to share your experiences with other cleaners like you.
See ya soon! The Devs
