About the Game

Place down structures that empty out the wallets of your customers!

There are tons of different ways to scam a person - and you are not afraid to use them all at once. Be it rigged slot machines, wheels of fortune that never win or empty trading card packs - your cunning knows no bounds and your customers will happily stroll left to right in your apartment to empty out their pockets.

Started from the bottom, now we're here!

Your shady business starts in your moldy, small apartment. Tough times never last, only tough people last! With time, you'll be able add more rooms, upgrade the interior and, with it, gain a lot more money as customers stream in!

Decorations are not just for looksies!

Each decoration has an effect that dramatically increases your growth as a scammer or just quadruples your cheddar. Be it dozens of eviction notes crammed into one corner or a luxurious chandelier hanging from the ceiling - find a layout that ultimately makes you richer and looks cool at the same time! ... or only just richer, you do you.

Join the organization!

The secret "Scam Society"  may eventually take notice of your exploits and invite you into its ranks. Trade passports, credit cards, and fake IDs for research points to unlock even more elaborate ways of scamming your unsuspecting customers.

Full touch support!

This game utilizes drag and drop for interaction and can be played with only your mouse! On steam deck or mobile, you can even play the game completely using only the touch controls. This game was made with both desktop and mobile consoles and platforms in mind.
