About this game
Crime Shop Simulator: A Prison Boss Game brings the crafting and simulation antics of Prison Boss VR out of the slammer and onto the streets!
Welcome to New Yolk City, a wonderful place to live, except that the Mayor has gone on a banning spree. Run a chain of stalls crafting legal and not-quite-legal merchandise, all on a quest to conquer the black market and get super duper rich!
PLAY SOLO OR GET A PARTNER IN CRIME
You can become a self-made-egg, play in co-op with one of your friends… or recruit a totally reliable stranger from the internet.
CRAFT WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT
Brew beer, roll cigarettes, and adapt as the Mayor flip-flops on what’s prohibited. But be careful, the New Yolk Police Department are intensifying their crackdown on contraband. If they catch you or your partner, they’ll seize your merchandise, and your business will be plucked!
EARN CASH AND BUILD YOUR REPUTATION
Sell your merchandise to everyone, from workers to the wealthy, to earn cash. Accept special jobs to boost your reputation among the different factions of the city. Build that street cred!
CUSTOMIZE YOUR SHOPS AND LOOKS
Now that you're rich, it’s time to get richer! Upgrade your shop and equipment to increase efficiency. Enhance your appearance to become the coolest cock-a-doodle-dude in town!
THE GAME WILL ALSO INCLUDE:
3 different levels
20+ items to craft
Leaderboards
… And more!
