Nobodies: Murder Cleaner

I love murder mystery games but always struggle to find ones in the App Store that aren’t just mini games disguised as a storyline. (I.e. the ones where you have find the hidden objects or match colors and stuff before being able to progress through the actual game). This game is exactly what it claims to be; no pointless mini games, no level cool-downs that make you wait hours to replenish energy/stamina to continue and, best of all, it’s free! If you need a hint you don’t have to pay for it, you simply have to watch a 20 to 30 second ad. (There are occasional pop-up ads throughout the game but they are only about five seconds long and occur far less frequently than the majority of other free games that are so overrun with ads that they are impossible to play.) I was instantly addicted and played the game, start to finish, in about 7 hours. This is a far cry above other free games that I’ve tried, and even some that I’ve paid for, that become boring/repetitive and lose my attention within the first hour or so of playing. I love the unique concept of this game. It stands out in the murder mystery genre as, instead of discovering evidence, you are covering it up and disposing of bodies. I can not wait for the next part of this series to be released, and if the quality is anything like this one, I would happily pay for it. Hands-down the best mobile game I’ve played in a long time, possibly ever! My only complaint to the developers is that it wasn’t long enough! Seriously, this could be the only mobile game I had and I still don’t think I’d ever get bored of it! Thank you for an amazing game. Can’t wait for the next installment!

That ending... how ironic especially with the virus outbreak and global pandemic currently going on. But oh wow, I had a lot of fun with this game. Trying to figure out how to get away with hiding or disposing of a dead body and cleaning up any evidence was surprisingly fun for me. At the end of each level, just when I thought I had done everything and out everything back the way I found it, then bam, a had forgotten something. Sometimes a few things! That made the game so much fun, making sure there was no evidence left behind. And what clever ways to dispose of a body... it makes you think for sure. But overall, this game was great. I did have to use the hints or “beeper” (maybe you are supposed to use beeper?) but the ads weren’t too intrusive, you are able to quickly exit out of the ad so it’s no big deal to watch an ad for a message of what to do or where to go next. The game was NOT short, I don’t know why some other reviewer said that. The game had like 10 levels or “jobs” each taking about an hour to play through, minimum. I’ve been playing this game over the course of 4 days, a few hours at a time. But if you are looking for an interesting, challenging, and fun game, this is it. It is also a learning experience in a way, if you are wanting to learn how to commit the perfect murder and get away with it lol. Definitely worth 5 stars.
