About this game
In a towering space station split by wealth and corruption, your business runs on merchandise with flexible origins. You’re a former scavenger who secured a storefront thanks to a generous loan and questionable timing. Now rent is rising, factions are watching, and most of your best margins live in legal gray zones. 
You never really know who’s on the other side of the counter. Today’s customer could be a security fisher for evidence, a revolutionary seeking leverage, or a fallen elite testing your usefulness. Every sale is a gamble. Approve it, refuse it, report it, or look away; someone is always taking notes. Reputation buys access and protection, but it also paints a target on your back. On this station, every client is a potential profit and a potential trouble.
Start as a gunsmith, chemist, water merchant, fence, farmer, or from absolute rock bottom. Every product line has its own profit curve and its own way of ruining you, weapons bring inspections, chemicals bring addiction, water brings liability, contraband brings raids. Some trades need heavy machinery and permits, others just a good hiding spot and a straight face. The better the margins, the worse the consequences when something goes wrong. You’re not choosing a theme for your shop, you’re choosing which kind of trouble you’re willing to monetize.
Every item you stock carries its own risks. Cigarette packs need visual inspection before resale. Water must be tested and filtered. Weapons require permits and modifications. Profitable chemicals rely on closely guarded recipes. Rare items need proper appraisal to avoid overpaying. You can cut the product’s quality, relabel counterfeit products as genuine, or fence discounted, stolen goods if you believe Security won’t reach you. But beware, there’s always the mob justice. Suppliers overstate value, customers push their luck, and contraband often comes with issues you only notice after the deal is done. Your margins depend on how well you assess what’s in front of you. Misjudge the item or the person selling it, and you absorb the cost.
Rent increases over time, regardless of how well your week went. If you fall behind, the consequences are practical. Your store loses attractiveness, fewer customers walk in, revenue drops, and the gap widens. Recovering from that slide often means taking on riskier deals just to stabilize your cash flow. You can choose to play it cautiously or invest in expensive merchandise, hoping for a strong return. But if that item gets confiscated, fails inspection, or simply doesn’t sell, you may not have enough left to cover what you owe. Every purchase becomes a calculation. Every risk carries weight.
A sentient AI chip went rogue and took its hosts with it. Augs look like everyone else ... until they don't. Stay alert, pick up on the signs. Every faction agrees on the policy, and you have the gun to enforce it. But missing the signs, or misreading them, carries its own price

Probably Stolen: Cyberpunk Pawnshop Simulator
Welcome shopkeepers,We’re thrilled to announce our new game called Probably Stolen, with a playtest available right now! What is the game?Probably Stolen is a cyberpunk pawnshop simulator set in a dystopian space station where you gotta trade, craft, flip goods, maybe smuggle a little on the side, and try not to piss off the wrong people. It’s up to you to decide how far you’re willing to go to stay afloat and earn enough cash to own the shop before rent gets out of hand. About the developer:Developed by Questing Goose Studio and published by tinyBuild, Probably Stolen initially began as a solo project by dev Bei Ning Pan, who has since been joined by a team of 4 artists and 3 audio developers. Probably Stolen was built on top of a previous project originally called Space Looter, which was a turn-based sci-fi space station crawler. However, it has since been shelved until Bei Ning returned from a trip where he had an idea of turning it into a shopkeeping simulator. His biggest inspirations for Probably Stolen have been Space Station 13 and also a bit of Papers, Please. In the past, Bei Ning worked as an intern at a Microsoft Xbox Game Studio (Coalition Studio), Ubisoft Montreal, and Eidos. His favorite games include The Witcher 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, and Space Station 13! Join the Playtest now!There are very few games like it and we can’t wait to hear what you think!Read full article on Community Announcements ([tB] Tira)
