About This Game

[h2]Grandma's dead. Her debt is yours.[/h2]

You stepped off the train at Mill Crossing to look after your grandma. Ten minutes later the Gallas gunned her down in her own front yard and told you the money she owed Saint is now yours. No cash, no phone, no friends — just her trailer at Sunny Acres and a payphone that keeps ringing.

[b]CriminalScum[/b] is a first-person crime shooter about starting from nothing in a run-down trailer-park town and clawing your way up — from lifting wallets at the bus stop to cracking the vault at First Mill Savings.

[h2]Start small[/h2]

[list]

[*]Pick pockets, mug strangers, lift bikes and fence it all at the pawn shop.

[*]Break into cars with a slim jim or a brick, hotwire them and drive them to the chop shop.

[*]Burgle trailers, hold up the liquor store, pry open the laundromat's coin boxes.

[*]Every crime has witnesses. Get seen and the cops come looking — lose them or get cuffed.

[/list]

[h2]Pull the job[/h2]

[list]

[*]Buy your gear, hire a driver and a lookout, get a van — then hit the house.

[*]Pick locks, crack dials, bypass keypads, drill safes, dodge doorbell cameras and nosy neighbours.

[*]Go quiet with a knife and a mask, or go loud with a shotgun and pray your driver's waiting.

[*]Everything you steal has to be fenced — and hot goods sell cheap.

[/list]

[h2]Run the town[/h2]

[list]

[*]Build rackets: protection on the corners, weed sellers in the park, a cut every day.

[*]Go to war with the Gallas — their corners, their stash, their boss in the back of the arcade.

[*]Knock out the power substation and take down the bank.

[*]Play the real Lerk Interactive arcade games on the cabinets while you lie low.

[/list]

[h2]Your crook, your crew[/h2]

[list]

[*]Blocky characters, grimy realistic world, dark sense of humour.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

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

Pre-generated: AI tools assisted development. AI helped write the game's code and the scripts that generate its 3D models, textures and sound effects, and drafted some dialogue lines, which were then edited by hand. All in-game art is rendered from the game's own 3D models.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

CriminalScum is a crime game about stealing, fighting and killing to survive in a run-down town.

Violence and gore: firearms, knives and fist fights against police, gang members and civilians. Hits produce blood spray, wounds and blood pools; a cutscene early in the game shows a character being shot. Blood can be reduced or turned off completely in Settings → Gameplay → "Blood and gore".
Crime: the player commits theft, burglary, armed robbery, car theft, assault and murder, and can be arrested by police.
Drugs: the player can run a marijuana-selling operation (recruiting dealers and collecting their cut). No drug use is shown.
Sex work themes: the player can protect sex workers from a violent pimp and collect a cut. These scenes are non-sexual: no nudity, no sexual acts, and no explicit language about sex.
Language: strong language in dialogue.
Characters are stylized, blocky figures in a realistic environment. There is no nudity or sexual content.
