Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I’m developing CriminalZ as a solo indie developer, and Early Access allows me to build the game alongside the community. With your feedback, I can refine gameplay systems, balance mechanics, and prioritize the features that matter most to players. It’s also a great way to ensure stability and performance across different hardware and playstyles before the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to keep CriminalZ in Early Access for 6 to 12 months. This may change depending on player feedback, development speed, and the complexity of new features I want to include.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to release the first two cities initially. A third city is already in development and will follow after the Early Access launch.

Depending on community feedback, I’m open to adding more cities, interiors, and enemy types over time. I’ve built the entire game in a way that makes it easy to expand and extend, but I want to base future content decisions on what players really want.

I’d love to keep developing CriminalZ together with the community — continuously adding new locations, gameplay elements, and challenges. I’m genuinely excited to hear your feedback and ideas!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“CriminalZ is fully playable and stable.

- Multiplayer works for up to 4 players via lobby
- One city map with loot spots and criminal activities
- A functioning economy system and basic skill upgrades
- Police AI and crime-level mechanics
- Working boss interactions and gem rewards”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I plan to raise the price slightly after Early Access as new content like cities, interiors, and gameplay features are added. Early supporters will get the best value and help shape the game while I continue to expand it with feedback from the community.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback means everything to me. I’ll be actively reading Steam discussions, collecting feedback via Discord, and running polls to see what features, content, or improvements players want most. My goal is to build CriminalZ together with the community — step by step.”

About This Game

CriminalZ is a 1–4 player co-op crime roguelite where every paid quota makes the Boss demand more.

Run risky jobs, earn cash, pay the quota, upgrade your gear, and face a bigger challenge in the next run.

Deal, steal, break in, and hack your way to enough money before time runs out — but if you miss the quota or get caught, the run is over.

Failure still helps you improve, so every crew comes back sharper, better equipped, and ready for bigger risks.

Hacker – Disable cameras, crack terminals, and drain locked systems.
Breaker – Smash safes, registers, and reinforced doors.
Stealer – Pick pockets, rob apartments, and grab valuables fast.
Dealer – Grow, refine, and sell Woosh to the right buyers.


Improve your tools to break in, hack, steal, and escape more effectively.
Increase loot value to earn more from every risky job.
Strengthen your crew and become harder to catch.
Prepare for bigger quotas as the Boss keeps demanding more.
