Sup Cleaners! It’s been some busy time, but trust us – we are not lowering the tempo. During their job, every cleaner is bound to see many gruesome images. After all, crimes can sound tempting and sweet, but there’s no denying that their main theme is a bloody red color. For some reasons, you may prefer to save yourself from those murderous views and, for those of you, we have a solution.
SAFE MODE
You heard us right! We’ve implemented a safe mode option. But how does it work exactly, huh? Although this option doesn’t fully erase crimes (well, that's a game about cleaning them after all lol), it turns them into family-friendly content.
All the places, usually running with blood, will now remind you more of a paintball battlefield. Safe mode turns blood into paint and cleans bodies from bloody wounds, so it seems as if the victims are just peacefully sleeping.
To turn on/off the safe mode, just go open the settings → general → blood settings. There you can adjust the blood settings to a full or safe mode. After you finish, remember to apply changes.
Why would we include such a feature in our game? Well, first of all, we want to give a helping hand to content creators, who prefer or need to censor their content for a bunch of reasons, such as website’s politics, young audience and so on. Safe mode is optional, so don’t worry if it will ruin your experience – it’s just a matter of preferences. If someone doesn’t really like the sight of blood and other cruelties, it’s also an option for those people.
Do you, perhaps, have in mind any other settings option that could be useful in our game, that is not already included in Crime Scene Cleaner? Will you use a safe mode or prefer it all to run with blood? Let us know in the comments or on our discord server!
See ya! The Devs

Devblog #22 - Beast's adjustments
Sup Cleaners! You’ve been introduced to this beast once, but since then some things have changed. The one and only power washer is there to shine again among all the other cleaning tools. Remember that overpowered character from your favorite cartoon? Yeah, that’s him… kinda. And just a friendly reminder: this machine will be crucial in cleaning outdoor spaces, but is way too strong for indoor use. One can never be too careful!
POWER WASHER MODES
Changing nozzles will let you adjust the flow of the water stream in a way that will suit you better at the moment, based on the shape of bloodstains you are about to clean. There are two ways to go – vertical and horizontal. If washing gets uncomfortable or inefficient, try out the other mode as it might turn out to be a real help. You can switch in between these two options at any time!
You should be aware of the devastating power this machine holds. Some items may be found too fragile to withstand it! Then, instead of fulfilling your cleaning duty, you will be making even more mess. And sometimes… there’s no time for such mistakes.
For the power washer to not be too overpowered, its power was limited to a specific range. After placing the machine, there is a limit to how far away you can walk away with the nozzle. UI elements will tell you once you get too far from it. And if you ever wondered about this ugly popup we’ve presented to you before – fear not, dear cleaners. It wasn’t the final product, as the captions look way better now. See for yourself.
Psst… we’ve also fixed a typo! And maybe have added some new ones… Let’s see if you can find them. As you can see for yourself, we are constantly improving the game's features, even those already implemented. Let us know in the comments or on our discord server, if you’ve got any ideas what other things the power washer should be able to do!
See ya! The Devs
Devblog #21 - Mission report
Howdy Cleaners! Sometimes it might seem as if the cleaning never ends, but there’s got to be at least a moment of peace, right? Hear the police coming? After all that effort, exhaustion, and stress, you’re rushing to your car to complete the mission. Did you do a good job or fail miserably? – thoughts are running through your head, filling your guts with anxiety. As you turn the keys and see your car running smoothly, you just know that’s the final moment of truth.
MISSION REPORT
What awaits you after every mission is a mission report – a summary and the results of your actions. It combines each aspect of your job altogether, bombarding you with pure facts mixed with numbers. So without further ado… let’s dive into the details!
What’s taken into account:
Mission’s final result – in the end, you result in completing or failing the mission. So better play it carefully, as sometimes you might be forced to do the whole cleaning all over again!
Cleaning score – the combined value of the cleaning done, which includes washing the bloodstains, adjusting the furniture, disposing of garbage, and so on.
Bodies found – the most important evidence of the crime. Leaving a body behind is a huge error, leading you quickly into the police’s embrace.
Evidence – proof of one’s guilt, which existence is better off hidden.
Money gain – income made from all the mission’s activities. The big bad boss pays you, but so do the victim’s belongings.
Stolen items – stolen objects and the amount of extra money gained by stealing them
Suspicion – it’s about how much you stole and everything you left unattended (bodies, bloodstains, pieces of evidence). If the value of the suspicion passes the limit set, you will fail the mission, which also results in a cash penalty.
And what do you think? How many errors can you afford yet stay victorious? Are you able to resist greed and go for the perfect score, or do you prefer to balance on the edge of being detected by the police? Let us know your gameplay style in the comments or share your thoughts in general on our discord.

Devblog #20 - Challenge Accepted!
Welcome Cleaners! After a distressed phone from your clientele, it is time to truly begin your preparations. They will ramble and very often will be angry, but this will always boil down to a short message to you.
To accept your mission you must enter the deepest cavities of the deep web. On a very secret email address, you will get some of the details as well as pictures of what will be awaiting you. The mission descriptions will vary from giving you important information to rambling of panicked idiots. But to some extent, they will help you assess what you need to take with you. Once you accept the mission you can head to your car.
On your way to the car, don't forget the pet your dog for good luck! He may not be able to join you on-site, but rest assured that he will be patiently waiting for your return. Maybe you can play some catch later on?
Your truck will be your command center, as it is not only your way of reaching the work site but also the collection site and transport for all the garbage later on. It makes sense then that you will begin and end your adventures by jumping behind the wheel.
The beginning of every mission will differ, as different people will ask you to clean the grossest of places, but you will be able to prepare and relax at your house as you accept various missions. We’re still looking for the dog’s name, so if you have some propositions let us know! We’re waiting for your idea in our discord and social media! The Devs
