About This Game

A market that remembers being flooded

Every market in Grey Market has real buyers. Not a price curve. A population. Sell into one hard enough and you exhaust the people willing to pay well, the price craters in front of you, and it stays down until they recover. Leave a market alone and it comes back.

That one rule is the whole game. Where you send product matters as much as how much you make.

Run the operation, not the numbers

Source, lab, stockpile, street. Product moves through a chain you can watch, and every stage tells you what is actually holding you back: the lab outpacing the street, the stockpile overflowing, a market you have already flooded. You fix the bottleneck, not the number.

• Eight markets, each with its own buyers, prices and capacity, each recovering on its own clock.

• Route your product. Push a market past its comfortable rate for less money per unit, or hold it and let its buyers come back.

• Heat and busts. Dealing draws attention, and getting caught costs you time, not just cash.

• Rival crews take territory you neglect. A rival eating your buyers costs you money with no coded penalty at all. The market simply has fewer people left to sell to.

• A crew of specialists, each of whom takes a cut.

• Twenty crews in the city, and a ladder to the top of it.

It runs without you

The operation earns while the game is closed, and it keeps earning for hours. Come back to a full stockpile, a payout, and a city that moved while you were gone.

The long game

Refine your product through seven grades. Take all eight markets. Climb to #1 in the city, then find out what happens when every crew below you starts paying tribute instead of taking territory, and the books can finally go legitimate.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Grey Market was developed with AI assistance. The code, user
interface, art direction, store artwork and store text were produced
with the help of generative AI tools during development, then reviewed
and directed by the developer.

The shipped game contains no generative AI at runtime. Nothing is
generated on your machine, nothing is sent anywhere, and the game runs
entirely offline.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Grey Market casts you as a criminal running a contraband operation.
Producing, refining and distributing illegal product is the entire
subject of the game, and it is presented favourably in the sense that
you profit from it and the game does not moralise about it.

No specific drug is ever named and no drug use is shown. The product
appears only as purity grades and street names, and buyers are
abstract populations rather than people.

There is no depicted violence, no blood, no sexual content and no
profanity. Conflict with rival crews is resolved through menu choices
and lines in a text log, never shown on screen. Police pressure is
represented as a meter and a period of downtime.
