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?

“Early Access lets us build I Know a Guy alongside the players who actually get the joke. This game thrives on personality, absurdity, and community feedback - the more ideas we get from players, the better (and dumber) it becomes. From balancing sketchy missions to improving the pizza shop chaos, we want real reactions to shape the final experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our plan is to stay in Early Access for about 3 to 6 months. During that time, we’ll expand the open world, add new NPCs and missions, upgrade gameplay mechanics, and polish the humor and voice acting. The goal is to make sure every feature feels exactly as ridiculous - and completed - as intended.”

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

“We plan to expand the world with additional NPC storylines, new sketchy activities, and more interactive areas over time. Dialogue systems may be refined to create a more personalized experience for players.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes the full pizza shop management loop, the most of the sketchy missions, voiced NPC interactions, and functional upgrade and reputation systems. It’s fully playable, funny, and weird - but still evolving with each update.”

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

“Yes, the price will go up once the full version launches. Early players who join during development deserve a better deal - and their feedback will directly help shape the final, polished chaos of I Know a Guy.”

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

“We’ll keep players directly involved through our Discord community, Steam discussions, social media posts, and periodic feedback updates. Players can give ideas on new missions, NPC types, and quality-of-life improvements - plus we’ll regularly share behind-the-scenes dev logs, memes, and questionable pizza photos.”

About This Game

A darkly comedic management sim that secretly hates its own genre. Featuring voiced NPCs, absurd missions, and bite-sized stories behind every shady favor. Run your pizza shop up front while your sketchy business runs out back. Smart and criminally self-aware - become that guy everyone knows.

A Management Game with a Story? No Way!

You’ve inherited your dad’s pizza shop - and his missing-person case. He vanished a few months ago, the cops gave up, and now it’s your problem. Run your pizza shop, dodge questions, and do totally normal side gigs for weird NPCs. Maybe you’ll find your dad. Or become rich with better pizza margins.

Between pizza shifts and backdoor deals, you’ll meet characters who make therapy look like tax fraud.

Key Features

  • Dual-Life Management: Run a legitimate pizza shop up front while running questionable operations out back. Keep both worlds afloat without getting caught.

  • Mission-Based Progression: Take on NPC-driven jobs like forging IDs, cleaning evidence, or handling “special” deliveries. Every mission offers quick, story-packed chaos with unpredictable outcomes.

  • Reputation System: Balance your Front Score and Street Rep to maintain your image. Impress customers, earn shady trust, and unlock new tools, perks, and opportunities.

  • Upgrade & Expansion: Grow from a humble kitchen to a full fixer’s den. Upgrade your ovens, sealing machines, and secret workstations to handle bigger, dumber crimes.

  • NPC Interactions: Talk to fully voiced weirdos with branching dialogue, side stories, and questionable morals. Every conversation hides a new problem to “solve.”

  • Dirty Money Economy: Earn clean cash from pizzas and dirty cash from everything else. Mix, launder, and invest - just don’t let the numbers overlap.

  • Dark Web System: Browse illegal markets, buy forbidden gear, and accept high-risk jobs through your in-game PC. Every click feels like a bad idea - because it is.

  • Humor & Style: A high-production dark comedy wrapped in stylized 3D chaos. Self-aware, cinematic, and proudly ridiculous.

  • Fourth-Wall Dialogue: Your fully voiced main character constantly breaks the script, mocking the player, the game, and even his own bad decisions. Every line blurs the line between role and reality.

  • Pop Culture References: From crime classics to cult games, expect shameless nods, absurd parodies, and Easter eggs hidden in dialogue, posters, and even pizza toppings.
