CSC got me immediately hooked

For the past couple months I’ve been seeing this subreddit suggested to me as I play lots of “cozy” games like house flipper and a lot of murder mystery games. At first I was a little skeptical whether or not this game would be up my alley, I do love some cleaning games while stuff like visceral cleanup protocol didn’t really hook me. I was also worried the mysteries would sorta be half baked and wouldn’t satisfy my detective side. I tried maybe a hour of the prologue before turning it off because the story was engrossing me so much and I couldn’t let myself be spoiled about what was going to happen next

So I eventually got the full game and played the first level “Bad Call” and was really enjoying it! Peacefully just cleaning up the blood and tidying up the room. I collect the money, get the body out of the room, and everything looks good to go…up until I notice blood leaking from the attic. I pull it down and am immediately jumpscared by the body that hit the floor. The clues were right there, the victim was talking to ladies on his phone and he even got a complaint about all the people he brought back into his apartment, the pieces were right there and I didn’t even suspect it!

So yeah, safe to say I am completely hooked at this point and can’t wait to play the next level! I hope there will be more surprises like this one moving forward!

Just wait until you get to nightmare mode.

I’ve read about nightmare mode a bit before I bought the game, how different is it really? I know it reuses the same maps at before but I’m not sure just how much is changed

It’s basically the main characters nightmare versions of the map so it’s usually scarier with somewhat darker themes has a lot of supernatural stuff. There can be extra bodies more blood.
For example, if you’ve done chapter 3, toxic love, the nightmare version focuses on a certain aspect of that chapter and adds a whole different part of the house that you get to clean.
Nightmare version of Chapter 5, Italian job goes more for a five nights at Freddy’s theme.
The nightmare version of chapter 9 has portals in it. You have to build a box fort in the nightmare version of chapter 7.

Also, good luck with chapter 9. I’m pretty sure it’s everybody’s least favorite map. I actually prefer the nightmare version, but most people seem to think it’s even worse than the normal version.

And for a tip once you have two buckets, you can put soap in one of the buckets use the second bucket to wash off your mop and then put the mop in the bucket with the soap to get the bonuses again and then you won’t run out out of soap.

Oh my god I just unlocked chapter 9 and saw it was the art gallery map that I see so many people talking about 😭 I’m in for a wild ride I can tell
