Gameplay
Every customer brings an opportunity and a potential problem. Examine merchandise before buying it, negotiate prices, organize your stock, and find ways to turn a profit. Different trades introduce their own systems, from testing and purifying water to manufacturing weapons, growing crops, or dealing in stolen goods. As your shop develops, you can invest in equipment, manage production, and pursue more profitable markets.
Business decisions have consequences. Suspicious merchandise can attract the authorities, poor purchases can drain your savings, and faction relationships can open or close valuable opportunities. Whether you operate within the law or turn to smuggling, counterfeiting, and bribery, the pressure of rising rent keeps each trading day meaningful.
Story
You play as a former scavenger who has taken out a loan to open a shop on the lower levels of a space station divided by wealth and corruption. Criminals, security officers, revolutionaries, and wealthy customers all have their own interests, and your choices can affect whom you trust and who trusts you.
A rogue AI adds another danger: its infected hosts, known as Augs, can hide among ordinary people. As you uncover the station's conflicts and follow character storylines, your long-term goal remains clear: earn enough money to buy your shop from the landlord before mounting expenses overwhelm you.
Graphics
Probably Stolen uses detailed pixel-art graphics to portray a gritty science-fiction setting. Crowded storefronts, industrial station interiors, unusual merchandise, and futuristic machinery create a distinctive cyberpunk atmosphere. The retro-inspired visuals complement the hands-on focus on inspecting items, managing stock, and interacting with the station's residents.
