Hello Cleaners!
Starting your job isn’t as easy as simply entering a job site. Sometimes there will be more to do than you can find at first sight. Your clients are not known for sharing detailed descriptions of their deeds. The rooms and spaces you have to take care of are messy… messier than you may think. In many crime scenes, there will be many hidden objectives you have to keep in mind and we want to help you with that.
Your choices will play a key role in how you interact with the environment and clean the entirety of the scene. To keep up with all tasks and points of interest you will be given a constantly updated list of objectives. They are specific to locations and can appear upon finding clues or information on the nature of the crime. Sometimes investigating an item will give you an idea of what to do, sometimes you will receive info from outside sources.
Finding a body or pieces of evidence will prompt you to do specific tasks. Some will give your more details, others will be small nudges towards a more general goal. Moving bodies or disposing of evidence won’t always be as simple as dragging some things around. There will be moments when even getting to the item of interest will be more complicated than just walking up to it.
The most consistent objective is related to the overall percentage of cleanliness. You should pay attention to the percentage on your screen. You may miss some drops of blood or smear it after you already cleaned everything. So before you even think of leaving the area double-check whether you are not leaving a bigger mess than the one you found.
This system of objectives and hints will be moulding itself to your needs and pace of progression. We want it to be very intuitive and unintrusive. Larger objective markers are loud and annoying, so we try to minimize that while still keeping the useful parts of their functionality.
Let us know what do you think about the objectives, what kind of hints would you like to see the most? We’re waiting for feedback on our discord server!
