About This Game

Hustle and grift your way across America in the ‘90s as a teenage con artist on a crime-filled road trip adventure.

Play as Ali, a curious and sarcastic high schooler who ditches band camp to go on a cross-country road trip. But this isn’t a joyride! Ali is on an all-important mission to save her family video store from the nasty loan sharks trying to shut their shop down.

Swindle strangers, pickpocket people, and con commoners across a wacky America of the ‘90s. And – it should go without saying – lie to your mom about all of it. Choose who deserves to be conned and who might need a helping hand. The world is your oyster (and hey, pearls are worth a lot!).

One Con Doesn’t Fool All

Con people your way! Wear disguises, sneak around, eavesdrop on conversations, and learn how to approach each mark.

  •  Seek out more complex grifts that involve breaking and entering, smooth talking, and more. 

  • Overhear keypad combinations, changebreak rubes, and steal and sell everything in sight.

  • Or just pickpocket everyone! It's your adventure.

A Coming-of-Age Comedy

If there’s one surefire way to discover yourself, it’s by setting out on an adventure. Luckily for you, you’ve got the aid of an expert grifter to coach you in the elusive art of charm. 

  • Tons of weird and wonderful characters to chat with

  • Turn on the laughtrack and make it a criminally funny sitcom.

  • Call home once in a while to tell your mom the truth -- or don't!

Tons of Content, Cons, and Corn!

  • A nostalgic romp through a heartfelt and funny linear story.

  • Collectible stickers!

  • Arcade skateboarding minigame and a FULL HALLOWEEN STORY EXPANSION available for free with our new CANDY CORN & CRIME update.

  • A fully hand-written, hand-drawn, hand-...music-d... indie game made with a lot of love.
