- Contamination Spreads - A Closer Look at Biohazard - 28 August 2026
Hi cleaners!We're still hard at work on Crime Scene Cleaner: Biohazard, and today we wanted to give you a closer look at one of the main mechanics that will make this cleanup unlike anything you've dealt with before.In this DLC you will tackle a new kind of mess - highly contagious substance called Chernoxide. It can spread, build up, and affect you directly, meaning you'll have to think about more than just what's in front of you. InfectionComing into contact with contaminated areas can cause contamination to build up in your lungs. The more contaminated you become, the more it will affect your movement and cleaning speed. Keep an eye on your moves and avoid unnecessary exposure! Protective maskA protective mask can keep you safe from contaminated areas, but it won't last forever. The mask gradually wears down while protecting you, so you'll need to keep an eye on its condition.Contami…

- AI Use Concerns: Clarification - 2 April 2026
Regarding AI Accusations in Crime Scene CleanerRecently, we’ve been getting lots of negative reviews claiming that our game uses AI-generated content. We’ve been responding, clarifying, and explaining this wherever possible – but these claims have grown to a point where we feel the need to address it clearly in one place. So let’s state this as plainly as we can:We do NOT use AI-generated art, dialogue, or voices in our game.Our assets are either created by our artists or come from legally purchased sources (such as the Unity Asset Store and stock photo libraries). This is a completely standard practice in game development, especially for smaller teams. When selecting external assets, we select them under the assumption that they are not AI-generated and we do our best to verify them.That said, we also want to be honest. We do our best to verify them, but nowadays distinguishing AI from…
