Think you’ve scrubbed it all? Think again. The macabre messiness of Crime Scene Cleaner just got bloodier with the Nightmare Update, now officially unleashed on Steam. This chunky update drags you back into the filth with 20 new challenge maps, unlockable skins, music boxes, a shiny new “6th Sense” skill, and a brutal True Cleaner Mode for those who laugh in the face of hints.
Welcome to Your Nightmares
Fresh from your totally professional mob-cleaning gigs, you’re now staring down twisted, remixed versions of your old haunts — dripping with dread and new mechanics. These Nightmare maps aren’t just rehashes; they come with warped storylines and surprises you probably won’t want to find while elbow-deep in blood and bleach.
Also added: True Cleaner Mode. No task lists. No cleaner’s instinct. Just you, your mop, and the horrifying realisation that you’ve been spoiled until now.
What’s in the Bucket?
- 2 new challenge modes: Nightmare Mode + True Cleaner Mode
- 20 challenges total (10 for each mode)
- 20 unlockable skins — finally clean in style
- 10 eerie music boxes for collectors
- 13 new achievements
- New “6th Sense” skill — highlights objects that need moving. Perfect for that modern art chaos.
- General performance polish and improvements
In Case You Missed It
In Crime Scene Cleaner, you’re less janitor, more mop-wielding ghostbuster for the mob. Dispose of bodies. Wipe up blood. Fix furniture. Erase evidence. Profit. Just don’t get caught — or sentimental. After all, you’re doing this for your daughter, remember?
Back when we reviewed Crime Scene Cleaner, we called it a “bloody good time” with just the right amount of grime, grit, and gallows humour — and this update dials all that up to eleven. Now, your cleaning tools have backup too — from sponges to full-on power washers. And if the guilt gets too heavy, distract yourself with crime scene lore and the odd bit of stolen jewellery. Look, no one said this was an honest job.
The Nightmare Update is live on Steam and heading to consoles July 29. Think you’re clean enough to survive?
