Hello Cleaners!
As mentioned in the previous devblog, preparations for each mission play a key role in the game. While all necessary tools can be bought on the go, the problem of cleaning up after yourself remains. This has far more consequences than it may seem at first glance.
The water problem
Looking for a water source on the scene may be a difficult task. You have to remember that not every building will have an easily accessible tap. Dragging bottles of water with you sometimes may be the only option.
The trickier part of working with buckets filled with bloody water is its disposal. Even a spilled drop could ruin all your hard work, so getting rid of it is not as simple as pouring it down the drain. You will have to make sure to find the right spot to dispose of the water and then remember to clean that place too afterwards.
Tricky stains
Some stains may be too stubborn to be removed with just pure water. You will need to make sure you have the necessary detergent to take care of those. Dish soap, bleach or degreaser can be bought before you leave your base, so remember to have some on your inventory. If you forget to buy a bottle of detergent, you will be able to get some off the Dark Web at a higher price.
Once you prepare your water with the necessary detergent you will be able to see how diluted it is and how dirty it becomes as you clean. Every detergent you use will have its own properties, which will make removing specific types of stains easier. Some of these properties will be extended to the mop.
All these seemingly small details will influence your playthrough and determine the success of each mission. We are preparing more essential gameplay mechanics which you will have to pay close attention to, but you will be able to read about them the next time.
