CriminalScum
A first-person crime shooter where you start with nothing. Rob locals, boost cars, crack safes and plan heists with your crew. Fight the Gallas gang, outrun the cops, and pay off the debt your grandma left behind, in a grimy town full of blocky crooks. Solo or co-op.
Grandma's dead. Her debt is yours.
Grandma kept a trailer by the tracks in Mill Crossing and a debt nobody told you about. Then the Gallas came to collect. Now she's gone, the trailer is yours, and so is what she owed.
You have no money, no crew and no name on the street. Everything you get, you take.
Start small
Pick pockets, mug the wrong guy, lift bikes and fence it all at the pawn shop. Slim-jim a car door or put a brick through the window, hotwire it and drive it to the chop shop.
Burgle trailers, hold up the liquor store, pry open the laundromat's coin boxes. Somebody's always watching: witnesses talk, and the cops come.
Pull the job
Plan it properly: the gear, the driver, the lookout, the van, the house. Get past locks, dials, keypads and drills, doorbell cameras and nosy neighbours.
Go in quiet with a knife and a mask, or loud with a shotgun. Fence everything afterwards, and remember that hot goods sell cheap.
Run the town
Build your rackets: street corners, weed sellers in the park. Go to war with the Gallas for their corners, their stash and the boss in the back of the arcade, with arcade cabinets to kill time while you're there.
Then knock out the substation, and take First Mill Savings.
Your crook, your crew
Make your crook in the character creator, then play solo or bring your crew in online co-op.
Blocky characters in a grimy, realistic world, with a dark sense of humour.
