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

You owe a dangerous, mysterious mafia a serious amount of money. They don’t call. They don’t warn you. They kidnap you and make it clear: work it off, or else. Run your pizza shop, take on shady favors, and get to know the people of Hobarey Town while doing the mafia’s dirty work. Learn who to trust, who to use, and who to avoid.

Maybe you’ll pay off your debt. Maybe you’ll build the right connections to take the mafia down.

EXPERIENCE DUAL-LIFE

Manage a pizza shop up front while running illegal jobs out back. Keep both sides operating without drawing police attention or blowing your cover.

TAKE SHADY JOBS

Complete illegal favors for NPCs, including cleaning bloody clothes, ordering restricted items from the dark web, disposing of evidence, and even burning bodies in your own oven. Every job increases payout, risk, and police attention.

BUILD YOUR REPUTATION

Build a strong cover by becoming the best pizza shop in town while separately earning trust in the shady underworld. Each side progresses on its own, unlocking different jobs, tools, and risks.

UPGRADE YOUR OPERATION

Upgrade your kitchen, hidden workstations, and equipment. Larger setups allow faster production, riskier jobs, and higher payouts.

DEAL WITH WEIRD NPCs

Interact with dozens of hand-crafted NPCs, each with their own stories, personalities, and ongoing problems that unfold over time.

PLAY TOGETHER

Play alone or team up with up to four players online. Split tasks, run both sides of the business together, and deal with the chaos as a group.
