About the Game

"Receive the cards. Withdraw the cash. Deliver it. No questions."

You didn't come to the city to become a criminal, but hard work didn't pay the rent. Desperation makes dangerous choices look like lifelines. Now, you are a cog in a massive, invisible financial crime syndicate, operating under the cover of darkness to drain ATMs and deliver the dirty cash.

But the police aren't your only problem. The streets are alive, hungry, and watching your every move.

The Grind. The Risk. The Paranoia.

Every shift brings a new wave of panic. Navigate the treacherous city streets using your smartphone apps—track your routes on the Map, illuminate dark alleys with your Flashlight, and monitor your physical exertion with the Fitness tracker. Upgrade from a slow foot-patrol to a bicycle to speed up your transit times, outrun threats, and hit more ATMs before your deadlines hit.

Key Gameplay Features:

  • The ATM Rush: Step up to the glass, insert the cloned cards, and brace yourself. You are completely vulnerable while withdrawing. Stay alert—Step up to the glass and try to ignore the sudden, cold realization that you are no longer alone.

  • Pack the Loot: Money doesn't just disappear into your inventory. Engage in a frantic, tactile mini-game to physically pack the cash into your bag. Do it quickly, do it quietly, and get moving.

  • Survive the Streets: You are a walking target carrying thousands in untraceable bills. Snatchers and robbers lurk in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to jump you and steal the syndicate's money.

  • Desperate Defensive Tactics: When the neighborhood thugs close in, you have to get creative. Deploy... tactical chickens. Yes, really. Throw aggressive, chaotic street poultry at incoming snatchers to distract and ward them off long enough for you to make your escape on your bike.

  • Atmospheric Thriller: Experience a gripping gameplay loop where you balance your mounting real-world debts against the escalating risks of the job over multiple grueling shifts.

The cash is in your hands. The handlers are waiting. Don't ask questions. Just deliver.
