Second sequel to point-and-click "murder cleaner" adventure available now for download on PC and mobile devices

Cleaning up other people's messes generally isn't an entertaining prospect, but covering up crime scenes as a uniquely skilled government specialist can be a whole lot of fun – even if it means getting your hands dirty, like it did in Blyts' 2019 Nobodies: Murder Cleaner, again in 2023's After Death, and looks to be once more in their recently released sequel, Silent Blood.

As with the first two games, players step into the first-person shoes of Asset 1080, the top "cleaner" for a government counterterrorist organization that carries out secret but officially sanctioned assassinations. This time around, instead of disposing of the remains of a deadly bioweapons terrorist group, it's 2010 and the "intelligence agency is cracking down on a wave of criminal activity funded by cryptocurrency technology." While the killers violently "dismantle the network" one person at a time, your job isn't to follow the money but follow the trail of corpses in the their wake. Once again it's your task to "hide the bodies, destroy the evidence, and leave no trace you were ever there." It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it – and it had sure better be done right. 

Like its predecessors, Silent Blood is a hand-painted, point-and-click slideshow-style adventure. You'll travel to fourteen unique locations with more than a hundred individual scenes around the world. There you'll encounter a variety of different assassinations, whether it's a bone-breaking plummet on the ski slopes, a beastly feast in the zoo's lion den, or a botched drowning at a theme park, to name just a few. Each crime scene represents its own self-contained puzzle that requires you to "seek out anything—and anyone—that will help you cover up the agency's actions." Some have multiple disposals to perform, and there may be multiple ways to do so but "countless ways to fail ... sometimes spectacularly."  

Originally launched on the App Store and Google Play as a mobile exclusive in August, Nobodies: Silent Blood is now available on Steam, so if you'd rather play it on Windows, Mac or Linux, grab your gloves and get to work.
