FROM THE WIKI

Probably Stolen

What is Probably Stolen?

Probably Stolen is a single-player cyberpunk shopkeeping simulator developed by Questing Goose Studio and published by tinyBuild. Your business operates on a space station divided by wealth and corruption. Buying, selling, crafting and faction relationships all shape the shop’s prospects.

Merchandise may be stolen, counterfeit or difficult to value. Customer decisions and inspections bring risks, while rising rent puts pressure on cash flow. This independent wiki separates playable demo information from features announced for the full release.
