About the Game

Fraudster is a role-playing game set against the backdrop of telecom fraud. Players take on the role of a recent graduate who accidentally ends up in a fraud company and struggles to meet daily performance targets. While striving to achieve the fraud goals, players can also engage in various activities to relieve stress or seek help.

Choose Your Victim

Players can choose a victim from multiple options to commit fraud against. Each victim requires careful selection to ensure the player's fraud skills align with the specific needs of defrauding that victim.

Fraud Minigames

For different fraud methods, players will need to play various minigames. The outcome of these frauds, including their success or the amount of money earned, is determined by the scores achieved in these fraud minigames.

Fraud Dialogue Display

After each successful fraud, a dialogue between the victim and the player will be played to show how the victim falls into the carefully crafted trap set by the player and gets deceived.

Fraud Skills

Players possess various fraud skills. Upgrading existing skills and unlocking more fraud skills allows players to scam more victims, enhance their fraud attempts' success rate and rewards, and decrease the difficulty of fraud minigames.

Missions and Mails

Players will have various missions to complete, and some of them will lead to different endings. Players will also receive messages from victims they have successfully defrauded.

Evening Entertainment

Players can choose to have some entertainment with roommates in the evening, such as chatting, playing poker, and dice games. Entertainment is important as players need to relax after an entire day of work.
