Nobodies: Murder Cleaner 12+

Big fan of this game although it would have been good to have more missions to complete. Enjoyed it so much I blasted through all 11 in less than a week (well, it is Christmas after all so I do have time on my hands). My advice would be to use the hints as sparingly as possible as the fun of Nobodies is to fathom things out on your own and you’ll canter through it too rapidly if you rely on getting the answers too often. What I like about the game is that not all the objects you find are actually useful - some games like these are too rigid so when you pick something up you know you’re going to use it sooner or later. Here, there are red herrings all over the place so you need to use your brain and sort out the useful stuff from the junk (or, often, the stuff that’ll get you arrested if you use them). Some nice wee mini games too to offer some different challenges. Highly recommended.

Fantastic. Nothing to lose as can try for free, but if you love it early (very likely) then well worth paying for immersive play on a big overall game.

Very original - in an odd way more realistic than many other escape games which creates an enjoyable logic. Builds up nicely in complexity. Really like difference that in most escape games there is one way and you just get stuck occasionally, but in this you can fail and also need to aim for perfect clean up as well as main task. Missions break it up but still a satisfying size. One or two individual elements were just a bit too obscure rather than satisfyingly complex - completely forgivable as better than being too simple. ‘Bleep’ hints just a bit too much if being picky - maybe a ‘subtle hint’ and ‘answer’ dual approach if these greats devs hopefully do more.

This is one of the best point and click games in the store - and it’s completely free! The ads are sparse, short and unobtrusive, so you don’t feel manipulated into buying the ad-free version.

The concept of cleaning up after murderers is so original. It encourages you to think laterally, and there’s multiple ways to win, as well as get caught. It felt disturbingly real, and there’s some really gross things to do with the bodies. I’m very impressed!

It’s not an easy game, and it can take some trial and error, but it’s immensely satisfying when you finally work out how to perfectly clear the scene.

5 stars! If you’re on the fence, definitely give it a go! My only complaint is that I want more! I hope this developer makes this a series, or makes similar style games in the future.
