![]() It’s obvious that the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, while also initially presenting a decent amount of challenge. This complete disconnect between logic and gameplay is actually what makes Serial Cleaner so much fun. They can’t even be troubled enough to put down their doughnut, while actively in pursuit! I can only assume that the police academy that the entire force attended also specialized in frontal lobotomies. It’s hilarious to see these bumbling doofuses lose track of someone hiding in a cardboard box that’s no more than a foot away. This ineptitude is only further compounded by their terrible tracking skills once a suspect has been spotted. ![]() Not only do they walk the same path continuously, but they also lack any form of depth perception.
