About the Game
A grim cleaning simulator where you tidy crime scenes for shady clients while uncovering a story.
Crime Scene Cleaner is an action and simulation game from President Studio, published together with PlayWay S.A. You play a single father whose insurance company has refused to help, so you take on cleaning work for shady clients, some of them tied to the mob. The store description frames the whole job around saving your daughter's life, which gives the grind a personal weight.
The core loop is simple to describe and harder to carry out well. Each job starts with a messy scene, and you need to read the stains, scattered debris and forgotten clues before you start scrubbing. You switch between tools, combine their strengths and plan your actions so the job goes faster and cleaner. Along the way you search every corner for evidence, collect valuables and dispose of anything that should never be found, so the cleaning doubles as a bit of detective work.
The locations vary a lot. The game moves from quiet, unsettling interiors to large and complicated spaces, and no two crime scenes feel the same. Between jobs you spend skill points to upgrade your gear, such as brighter lamps and flashlights or a high-pressure washer for outdoor blood, so later jobs become more manageable. The tone is dark, with a streak of black humor in the way the description jokes about pocketing an expensive watch from a dead owner.
What stands out most is how the story comes together. It is pieced together from blood, broken objects and leftover clues while you work, so the narrative is something you assemble yourself as you clean.
Feature Highlights
- Switch between cleaning tools and combine their strengths to plan faster, smarter jobs across varied locations.
- Investigate scenes by searching for evidence, collecting valuables and disposing of anything that should stay hidden.
- Spend skill points before each job to upgrade lamps, flashlights and a high-pressure washer for tougher cleanups.
- Unlock unique cosmetic looks for sponges, mops, ozone machines and pressure washers as you complete challenges.
- Play the Nightmare Update content, which turns familiar crime scenes into distorted and unsettling versions.
- Try Real Cleaner mode, which offers no hints and no hand-holding, so every stain must be found on your own.
Who It Is (and Is Not) For
Recommended For
Players who enjoy methodical, hands-on work and detective-style searching will likely find the slow rhythm of scrubbing and planning satisfying. It also suits anyone who likes a dark story that unfolds through the environment as they work. If you want a bigger challenge, Real Cleaner mode removes all hints and makes every stain your job to find.
Not Recommended For
Players who want fast action or constant combat will find the pace very different, since the game is built around careful cleaning. The dark subject matter, grisly scenes and adult content flag make it a poor fit for anyone who is sensitive to gore or violence.
What the Steam Reviews Say
Crime Scene Cleaner carries the Overwhelmingly Positive label, shown on Steam Taiwan as 壓倒性好評, and 98% of its reviews are positive. Its review volume is in the tens of thousands, so the score rests on a substantial body of feedback rather than a handful of opinions.
On Steam, Overwhelmingly Positive is the highest tier of review labels and usually means that the large majority of reviewers enjoyed the game. With a review base this size, the 98% figure is a fairly reliable signal, although personal taste still matters, especially for a title with dark themes and grim scenes. Smaller review counts tend to swing more with a few opinions, so this level of volume gives you more confidence in the overall verdict.

All prices below are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Crime Scene Cleaner is currently NT$ 449, which matches its regular price, and it is not on a tracked discount right now. Our highest recorded price is also NT$ 449, while the lowest paid price we recorded was NT$ 327 on July 10, 2026.
Our price record for this game is still short, so the verdict below is tentative. Discounts have happened often, and the deepest one we recorded was 27%, which suggests that sales do come around for this title. We have no record of the game being free to keep, so a free offer should not be expected.
Whether now is a good time depends on your patience. If you want to play immediately, NT$ 449 is the full regular price, so it is not the best moment to buy. If you can wait, adding the game to your wishlist and watching for a discount makes more sense, since the game has been discounted often before.
