How it feels

A lighthearted and whimsical 90s road trip where you play as a sarcastic teenage con artist, pulling off funny hustles and exploring a colorful, hand-drawn America.

What players say

Players love The Big Con's art style, music, and cozy 90s teen con-artist tale, but a long-running dispute over sexist Chinese translations dominates recent reviews. The game is a light puzzle adventure built on free-roam exploration and social encounters, though the lack of a map and a single save slot frustrate completionists.
