You're in the back of the classroom, the class has just started, the teacher is talking but all you can think about is playing these games to pass the time. I bring you Clear Vision: Nostalgia! I developed these games to be played on PC in the browser many years ago. I was 17 years old and these are the first games I ever made. Now that the flash player is dying out I decided to port them to mobile so that you can relive the ancient games in the Clear Vision series. You play as Jake, a determined hitman who's family was killed and he abducted as a young child. These games were initially released in 2007 and instantly became one of the greatest hits of all time on various websites. They've been played over 100 million times. Now you can play them on your mobile as well. I hope you enjoy them.

Serial Cleaner is an action-stealth game set in the vibrant and gritty 1970s, where you play as a professional crime scene cleaner. Your job is to clean up after mob hits and other criminal activities without getting caught by the police, who are always on the lookout. The game blends humor, strategy, and fast-paced action in a unique way that challenges your tactical thinking. Serial Cleaner is all about balancing quick reflexes with smart planning. You need to stay unseen, time your movements, and use the environment to your advantage while cleaning up the mess left behind by criminals! You play as Bob Leaner, a regular guy who moonlights as a cleaner for mobsters, picking up odd jobs to earn money. Bob lives with his mother, and between taking her to bingo nights and doing chores, he gets calls from his shady underworld contacts to clean up after their messy work. The game embraces a funky 70s aesthetic, with bold colors, stylish minimalist art, and a soundtrack that evokes the period’s funky and jazzy vibes. It’s both lighthearted and gritty, offering a unique tone that stands out from more serious stealth games. Gameplay Overview: * Crime scene cleanup: Each level in Serial Cleaner is a crime scene where you must remove all evidence (bodies, weapons, blood, etc.) and make your escape without being spotted! You’ll need to sneak around, dodge police patrols, and time your actions perfectly to avoid detection. * Stealth mechanics: The game focuses on stealth. The police officers patrol the area, and it’s your job to study their movements and take advantage of blind spots to clean the scene staying unseen. If they spot you, they’ll give chase, and you’ll need to escape quickly before being caught. * Create your solutions: Each level can be approached in different ways. You can use distractions (like knocking over objects or turning on equipment) to lure the police away, hide bodies in certain spots, or even hide yourself in tall grass or closets. Adapt and use your environment to your advantage! * Challenging and Replayable: As you progress, the levels become more complex with additional mechanics like tighter spaces, more aggressive police, and more evidence to clean up. It's up to you to replay levels to improve your scores and times! Key Features: * Retro aesthetics: The art style is heavily influenced by 1970s pop culture, with bright, saturated colors, geometric shapes, and a minimalist design. This visual style helps the game stand out while giving it a nostalgic feel. * 70s soundtrack: The soundtrack perfectly complements the 70s vibe, with funky and jazzy tracks that keep the mood light yet intense, even during high-stress situations! * Real-time changes: As you clean a scene, the bloodstains you remove disappear, and the more bodies you collect, the fewer are left to deal with. This gives a satisfying sense of progression as you clear the crime scene, but also increases the tension as the police can stumble upon these changes if you're not careful.
