okay, but hear me out... animanga french maid outfit wearing assassin is actually a maid and can't stand messes that she makes so she does her best to not make messes when she kills her targets, but if she does, then she has the secondary skills to clean up the messes she makes. And just like some of those mobile sniper games designed for fan service as we see the anime girl's butt shaking with each round fired... well you could do that too! Fun for everyone!

Imagine a twist where as the story goes along, it becomes more and more clear that you're the one who's doing all the killing in the first place, and the last scene is you having just killed the mob boss, cleaning up the office, and sitting down at the desk.

[@Powoga]

Or it turns out the killer is your sick daughter, who decided to become a professional assassin to pay for her healthcare. You could probably turn it into some sort of painfully contrived Gift of the Magi plot.

[@neodav00001]

Nice idea, but there's a fine line between "it becomes more and more clear" and the audience going "yeah, no shit, we get it already." The "twist" at the end of Party Hard springs to mind there. I'm not quite sure how you balance that to avoid annoying players.

[@fishnutter5219]

Would that work as the solution to the two crowds that don't overlap? One player does the assassination mission, then the results get uploaded for another player to come along and clean if a certain 'oh god, why is there blood on the ceiling?!?" threshold is met.

[@novasolarius8763]

Who stuffed twenty-six guards with broken necks in the guest bathroom?

[@lightsidesoul]

@@fishnutter5219 Yeah, but then you risk players going out of their way to make a bigger and bigger mess until the "Clean-up crew" has to scour the entire level to find all the random guards you turned into decretive corpses, and buying metric tons of spackle to fix the "Ha-Ha" someone wrote on the wall in bullets. Not even some sort of billing system, where the assassins have to pay the cleaners directly out of the pay from the assassination mission, would stop the trolls from flinging bits of what used to be a drug kingpin across the soft furnishing, laughing in glee as they imagine the frustrated looks on the cleaner's face as they have to duck around the guards who're there to monitor the crime scene to find the murder weapon that was strategically thrown into a corner in just such a way it clips through the wall and lands outside the level border, rendering it impossible to complete the mission. Because you know someone would find a way.

[@whodoc226]

Hitman with cleanup afterwards would probably sell really well, because the demographic for the hitman games isn‘t action junkies, it‘s people with ocd that love puzzles. An guess what kind of games people with ocd also enjoy?

[@neodav00001]

Okay, cool, glad I'm not the only one in the "Hitman is secretly a puzzle game" camp. You can go loud and turn it more action-ey, but going for SA has clearly been the favored approach at least since the second game in the series. (Except Absolution, but fuck Absolution.) And yeah, having to clean up a kill (or at least having the *option* to retrieve bullet casings and clean up blood like you erase camera footage and hide bodies) would be a fun addition to make getting SA more complex.

[@vactrox]

@@Kenionatus I mean you could probably have the cleaner doing more active social roles that the killer can't do. That one guy about to wander in and blow your cover early? Have the cleaner step in and tell the guy to go away. Heck even what you say could have an impact so you could have dialogue choices. Used the excuse that you're fumigating for pests? Well good job, the person has changed their mind about going in and are now going to speak to the manager because you're in a restaurant during working hours... Everything is worse now. Setting up the right signs to redirect people, pushing a big bin for the assassin to hide in, and making sure that ONLY the people who need to die get into the right traps is a lot of busy work before killing. Plus the assassin doesn't have to be left out. Taking down people who would ask questions about the new guy, hacking security so he's allowed access, messing with the schedules so the cleaner is "supposed" to be there. There is a ton of fun to be had and ways this can all backfire.

[@greenredblue]

The coop idea might be decent, especially if the players were working against each other somehow, but this idea probably won't work in single player. The Hitman games are methodical, yes, but every mission and goal involves increasing pace and tension. Even the intermediate failure states are just increases to pace and tension. The "puzzle" aspect of each mission is how to arrange elements so that when it hits the fan the outcome is good, but your interest is maintained through the methodical bits because you _know_ it will hit the fan. Cleaner games are different. They're generally built to be meditative, without threat, pacing, or tension.

[@jacksonduruy4303]

I think a better version of the story for this game: The janitor has an old buddy (idk maybe they both served in the army or something) that's developed a drug problem and accidentally killed one of his dealers. But now the dealer's crime syndicate his threatening to kill his friend if he doesn't clean up crime scenes for them. As you play the game, the janitor can pocket certain key pieces of evidence for each murder, and hides them with a lawyer he knows. The game ends with the janitor going to the mob boss and telling him he has enough evidence to skin his entire operation hidden somewhere safe and he'll have it all sent to the authorities if anything happens to him or his friend. Maybe have a moral choice about whether to release the evidence and take the risk the mob will kill him or keep it as insurance to protect himself and his friend.

[@him_That_is_me]

I feel like this game should have a “Papers, Please” style story where you can go the extra mile to make sure your crime boss doesn’t get caught, sneakily leave hints to the detectives so he DOES get caught, and maybe a balanced approach that lets you get rid of just the boss but not his I’ll gotten gains to maybe start your own criminal enterprise.

[@traviebohave]

As someone with hundreds of hours in the Hitman Trilogy, Absolution, and Blood Money; and also someone with 100 hours and counting in Powerwash Simulator, I can tell you that I love the idea of cleaning up your own crime scene. I'll also say that this is probably a prime example of why people don't put story in a cleaning game. It's hard to get more compelling than "you were hired, do the job".

[@courier6960]

Not necessarily, having watched the game, the problem with the story is that half the maps you do have literally nothing to do with it, which is very disappointing. If they spent more time making the maps have an actual connection to one another (and maybe took a slightly more serious vibe with them), it could very much have worked.

Wouldn't the cops notice that someone had power washed the interior of the crime scene and start looking for a serial janitor?

[@morgantaylor84]

Janitors generally don't use power washers. They'd look for a serial power washer specialist. Besides, to the cops, a complete lack of evidence is evidence when that lack is because of a strong smell of bleach and other cleaning stuffs.

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

My (rather loose, I'll admit) understanding of the point of cleaning a crime scene is that your goal is for the cops to never realize it's a crime scene. "This is the home of the missing person, but there's no sign of them, they aren't here."

[@MrRawrCEO]

They'd eventually notice that it was conspicuously clean but the whole point is that by the time they found out there wouldn't be much they could do and no evidence of EXACTLY what happened.

And the less said about that game the better....

[@Kenionatus]

Truly a masterwork ahead of its time.

[@DivineOne-vb6td]

That mechanic was pretty much the only reason I was ever interested in that game. The theming was meh(and gross in hindsight..) and the dev is clearly an unreliable moron who could never finish a game(among other things), but the idea of playing a killer with a huge variety of kill methods, light life sim mechanics, and having to make sure you were never caught by properly disposing of the victim and even cleaning up the crime scene because you had to repeatedly return to said scene was amazing to me. Someone could easily reskin it into an office setting or a collage campus, drop all the unnecessary scope creep stuff, and actually finish the game and I feel it would sell.

[@azureryuga3931]

@@DivineOne-vb6td while i agree it would probably do well, i dont think its as easy as it seems to finish. yandevs terrible... everything certainly makes the failure of the project seem like his fault alone, but it really overshadows what is actually being asked of. i mean, you're essentially making a hitman game, a persona game, and a cleanup game at once, and have to integrate them heavily with eachother. while the cleanup part is probably the least demanding, the other two are still pretty large undertakings of themselves, let alone combined also, people have tried in the past, but they usually give up after a few months due to a combination of yandev harrasment and of technical challenges that come with creating that game

Apparently Yahtzee hasn't played The WereCleaner. It's a free stealth cleaning game where you're a janitor, and also a werewolf, that has to avoid killing his coworkers and thereby creating more mess to clean up. It's very short, with top-down, arcade-y levels. The story doesn't have any real impact on the gameplay that Yahtzee's looking for in this video (the game's short and free), but the gameplay and story is fun. It's published by USC Games, so I think it's student-made.

[@andrewkoblas5396]

Someone actually did try the "kill all the baddies then clean up the mess" idea; in ULTRAKILL, one of the secret levels has you killing and spraying blood/gore all over a library that plays like any other level; but then at the end it gives you a vacuum and a power washer and won't let you leave until you've cleaned up your mess. It was honestly kind of a hilarious twist that turned oddly meditative for a game where you punch your own bullets and ride your own rockets.

SPOILERS obviously. So Tyler is the person that gets you stuck with this gig. He is your dead best friend's son. Kowalski is upset at his death and does pause if you discover a certain detail. Your character might be using the money to help his daughter. He is also stuck there because his boss is a deranged psychopath who can casually kill half a dozen people by himself and has done it because he suspects someone is disloyal. During the final mission he says he is going to lay low and he tells Kowalski to do the same. So Kowalski can indeed ignore the underworld contacts under that pretense. Big Jim (the boss) is not arrested at the end of the game. As the picture of Big Jim and the arrested "Big Jim" are comically different.

[@TheLyricalCleric]

I think it’d be a bang-up game! Sorta like Dexter but just the killing bits. You have a stage set where the kill has to take place, and you have scripted behaviors for the killing and cleanup, and you have a visual WTF meter for the crowd and sight lines where if they see too much, they go WTF! and you lose the stage. Make it progressively harder with more things to keep track of, like the cones, the cleanup fluid, the sound level of the gun, get upgrades to make your run easier but it’s roguelike so you’re never quite sure the situation you’ll need. The power ups you find are the ones you keep if you get through the stage, but you lose them if you get found out, and whenever you finish a stage there’s either a screen of you throwing a suspiciously large bag into the back of a panel van or you being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon.

Does the protagonist keep pieces of evidence because they can't accept all this harm to the region? Do they take evidence as self serving insurance? Do they delude themselves that this is about helping their daughter and giving her a good life while turning a blind eye to personal benefits from this?

[@Texelion]

No no your idea is excellent. Guys can play the first part with the assassinations, and their wife can play the second part with the cleaning and decorating/arranging furnitures.

i just wanna show my appreciation for that pun "that's gonna be a bitch to clean up" which works on many different levels.

[@Surkai25]

That was probably the best manscaped ad ive ever seen

[@LongLostLazarus]

As my go-to cleaning game connoisseur, I have to call this out to Yahtz: I know what it looks like, but I have sincerely been completely loving the demo of Goblin Cleanup from Crisalu Games. Shockingly packed for a demo, too.

NGL, best Manscaped I've ever seen!

[@ghostofthecommentsection]

Honestly, the Hitman/cleanup hybrid game sounded like something I would enjoy more than Hitman, personally. If the objective is covering up what you did instead of avoiding collateral damage, then you could focus the gameplay on, for example, working around a time limit to kill your target and clean up all the evidence. You might be allowed to kill as many people as you want so long as you clean up all the evidence before you leave. Only getting a penalty or mission failure for failing to clean up the evidence that you murdered an unrelated passerby rather than getting a penalty or mission failure for killing them in the first place might sound like it would make a game easier, but that's only if you're not on a time limit.

The Werecleaner is the closest cleaning + murdering game I can think of, though I think you're suppose to avoid the murdering.

[@shahofalbion]

The Manscape plug was pure gold.

While the direct connection of Cleaning and Assassination game enthusiasts might be slim, they idea could make an interesting multiplayer game. One player is the assassin, the second player is the cleaner who has to clean up their mess after the fact. The better player 1 does, the less work the second player has to do.

5:11 As a long time Hitman fan I just wanted to say I would absolutely love to see exactly what you described here in a game.

[@Tobi0iBot]

Always good to see the ocelot come back

[@SnivyTries]

Honestly, you bring up Agent 47, I could totally see a series of assassination contracts where you have to do it "Spotlessly" and 47's skillset of "Doing Literally Everything" comes in as you have to clean up what you can, and avoiding causing messes you CAN'T clean up quickly

[@D.B..]

What about a 2-player co-op with one person doing the assassination and the other following behind with clean up? Maybe some timed levels where the assassination and clean up of the evidence all has to happen in one go. Could also setup the place before the target arrives, like lay down plastic sheet, or pack away items that would otherwise get covered beforehand, etc. That way, there may not be a single audience that is for both modes of play, but you allow for both audiences to team-up.

[@Tickerchicken]

The hitman/cleaner thing sounds like an indie game Yahtzee would make, like the cleaning would be a little no more hero’s minigame for each mess, and the killing would be a point and click style puzzle game with multiple options

[@jenweatherwax7113]

Manscaped is kind of the perfect sponsor for Yahtzee to talk about 🤣 I quite enjoyed the ad

[@hartthorn]

See, I think the "Whole Package Cleaner" concept would have a fascinating synergy bonus in the area of "using killing tools for creative cleaning" versus "using cleaning tools for creative killing". And part of the idea could be less that you have to leave the situation pristine, but to nix the vectors that would give away the ploy. So SOMETIMES activating the fire suppression system might be a great way to muddy evidence. Other times it might be a great way to snuff out a PERSON. But it has to depend on what the angle of the mission is. If the "story" is "this guy skipped town in a hurry", leaving the stove on to cause a fire requiring sprinklers to destroy critical footprints makes sense. Other times, it might not. Which means you might have to off the guy and then run to the kitchen and turn off the stove. And build from there. The goal isn't to leave the place sparkling clean, but just to leave the place with only the details you intend to leave it with.

[@IconicCROSS]

Combining a game like sniper and a cleaning game actually sounds like a great idea. An organic way to have both play styles mesh as you figure out the most optimal and more difficult way to kill someone in order to have an easier clean up. Much better than Indie number 43 doing the dungeon crawler/ manage shop gameplay troupe
