Once you get tangled with the mob, you will forever be a part of the mob. At least they pay a decent salary and all you have to do is clean up after their dirty work, but you know what you’re doing. So clean crime scenes, earn as much money as you can, and get ready for the next mission.
What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in March 2025. 21 discounts in the 2 years on record. They run about 20 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 5 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks. It becomes a BANGER at $18.72, a level the record has reached 12 times.
On value it sits in the top 1 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and the best reviewed. It outscores the games it most resembles, including Thief Simulator 2 ($19.99, scores 66) and Thief Simulator ($19.99, scores 67).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 34 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,221 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,731 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 79 percent of the 911 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

>Go to great pains to ensure you don't use AI-generated game assets >Pay artists and voice actors who are directly credited and easily contactable >Literally have a place in the discord for people to report suspected AI use for assets that were store-bought >Still have antis in the reviews saying "this game is obviously ai slop, the devs are lying" At this point you guys are just going to push people further toward...
You get exactly what is advertised. If this looks like an interesting game, it is worth the purchase. It has a good amount of content with more on the way. The skill tree is fairly basic, as is the storyline, but the gameplay itself is fun and relaxing.... well, maybe not relaxing in the nightmare modes. But as someone who absolutely hates horror games, I was able to play through the nightmare modes without much...

Crime Scene Cleaner scores 76/100 on the BANG Score (worth it). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/1040200/crime-scene-cleanerThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 2, price as of Sep 24.
