We all know cleaning up in games can be just as much fun as making a mess. If you've ever mopped up blood and guts in Viscera Cleanup Detail or sprayed gunk off Doc Brown's time machine in PowerWash Simulator, here's an offer you can't refuse: combine those two games and you get Crime Scene Cleaner, where you hose down and scrub up bloody murder scenes until they're clean as a whistle.
How did you get into this mess?

Mops and sponges can only hold so much blood before they need to get rinsed, so it was a lot of running back and forth between my bucket and the puddles of blood—and I quickly realized that I was also leaving bloody footprints all over the place, too. I cleverly moved my bucket into the room where I was scrubbing, but guess what? I knocked it over repeatedly, spilling bloody water all over the floors I'd just cleaned. Sigh.
Long as it takes, it is pretty darn satisfying to completely clean
