How it feels

A sprawling, often unfinished multiplayer crime sandbox where you carve your own path in a corrupt city, with a focus on roleplay and base building.

What players say

Players say the game is a player-driven city RP with Gmod vibes, but the servers are almost empty day to day, making it hard to enjoy solo. The core loop quickly becomes grinding money printers in near-silence. Those who find a group have chaotic fun holding presidents hostage or running gangs, but the small player base and reliance on others for content are constant complaints.
