Introduction:
I was informed about this game by a content creater I follow. When I saw it on the Steam Summer Sales I tought I'd give it a shot. Well... that shot might took over 30 hours but I wanted to review this game after I completly finish it. So that means I played every single level and collect all of the collectibles. I'll have to admit it was a frustrating journey but it was worth it. I had alot of fun while playing it but it might have used a little imporvement. So without going further lets start to talk about the actual game itself.

Story:
You are a cleaner at 70s who is living with his mother. You like to gamble and have friends in dirty bussines. I think you get the consept by now. To pay the bills and keep on gambling you need money, and the best way to do it in your knowledge is to clean after your clients. No matter how dirty it is - if the money is good - you'll clean up the mess. It is nothing too much but it's alright for a filler and it also gets a little deeper with each job you do.

Ambient:
This is the best part of the game. It has unique soundtrack and art design. It'll help you get into the mood in no time and make the game so much more fun.

Gameplay:
This is the last and the most important part and it is also where the problems start to accure. If I'd use a word to describe the mechanincs it'd be "clunky". Let me explain: When you try to pick something up or do some particular action you need to look directly at the object. While this may sound normal, if you even look in a slightly different angle to an object you won't be able to interract with it. This creates a huge problem when you need to do something in a significantly short time. The other huge problem is you need to stop to interract with something. The game won't let you get something from the ground while you move which also slows down the game's pace. I don't even want to talk about the randomness of the enemies you try to avoid which is the worst of them all. Sometimes you'll fail because of these problems and it gets frustrating over some time. And the last one is the ambient breaker mechanics. There aren't any particular problems wih these two but it gets you out of the mood a little. First one is the hiding mechanic. You can hide while beeing chased by 3 cops from an inch. Cops will forgot and go to their usual patrols after a while. It helps so much do to the huge problems I mentioned earlier but still it is so dumb you start to lose the feeling of being a cleaner at 70s. Second one is the vacuum cleaner. You don't use a mop to clean the spilled blood on the floor. Instead you vacuum it up. It is not that big of a deal and it's like a signature so I'm okay with it but it is worth mentioning since you might get annoyed. But there is not just bad thing about the game in case of gameplay. Every level you'll learn a new thing you can do and you'll need to use them in order to past the levels which makes you always look up to the next level and the new mechanics you'll use. Also there are a lot of fun ways to hide the bodies (some may be a little bit stupid an sensless like throwing a body bag out of a window but it's still fun to do).

Collectibles:
There are total of 20 collectibles (one in every level). You'll have 10 costumes (magazines) and 10 bonus levels (film tapes). Costumes don't do anything unique other than spice the game up a little in terms of cosmetics. But the bonus levels will provide good challenges with the lack of the hiding spots and clever usage of the short cuts. They aren't really neccessary to play but they're all fun and you'll need to collect them all if you want to get all the achivements.
-----------------------------------
Summary and Advice:
It isn't the best game of all time, it sometimes feels a bit repetitive but with the new mechanics every level and the humor you'll not get bored. It's a pretty standart stealth game. Nothing extraordinary except the concept and the style. If you are new to the genre you'll enjoy it. And even if you are already used to steath games it is a good challenge. I got it on the sale and I'm pretty happy with it. I'll advice you to do so because the normal price tag is a little too high in my oppinion.

Good luck with the cleaning!

*Single player part is very short (5 levels in total).

Personel Notes:
It's a cheap and fun game but don't expect too much. Grab a couple of friends and have fun for an hour or two. Then if you want play it again but don't play it for too much because you'll probably start to get bored after the 6th round.
