About Crime Simulator

Crime Simulator poster

Crime Simulator opens with a setup that quickly turns desperate: fresh out of jail thanks to a mysterious benefactor, you now owe a debt that has to be repaid fast, and the only way forward is to lean into a life of crime. That means breaking into houses, making off with valuables, and tackling dangerous jobs either on your own or alongside up to three friends, all against a countdown that decides whether you clear what you owe in time.

The action-simulation setup spreads its heists across three distinct areas, each with its own targets, security systems, and loot to uncover. Whether creeping through high-tech mansions or scrapping in rundown neighborhoods, every location introduces new obstacles and hidden rewards. The four-player co-op adds its own social wrinkle, letting crews coordinate break-ins and divide the spoils, or betray one another for a bolder payoff.

Success leans heavily on choosing the right tools for each job. Lockpicks open doors silently, a crossbow takes out guards or disables cameras from a distance, and sleeping gas piped through air vents can drop a whole building without a sound, while a baseball bat handles the moments when subtlety goes out the window. This indie title promises even more elaborate gadgets, such as scouting drones, as players progress through the full game.
