Questions

Asked quietly

What people ask us, in a low voice. Short answers.

What is ShadyShizzle?

An online crime game on the real world map. You start with a day job in a real neighbourhood of a real city and work your way up: street jobs, a career, property, people, loads through real ports, territory, a clan. You decide how big you get, and how visible.

It is a strategy game, not a shooter. You play in short sessions, and the world keeps turning while you're away.

On which platforms?

Windows first. After that Android and iOS, as native apps. There will be no browser version.

What does it cost? Is it pay-to-win?

The plan is free to play. Paying can speed things up or buy looks, but never buys strength above the cap that everyone can reach by playing. Turns can't be bought. No paid loot boxes.

There is no real money in the casinos, betting or crypto in the game. The in-game crypto is fictional.

Why 18+?

Because it's about crime: drugs, smuggling, violence, corruption and laundering, shown dry and businesslike, with a satirical wink. It's a game for adults, and we'll ask for age confirmation.

There are things the game never does: no children in any form, no sexual content, no terrorism, no real people, gangs or brands and no real ongoing wars.

When can I play?

Now, on Windows. The alpha is a free download: shadyshizzle.com/download. Install it and the game keeps itself up to date. It's an alpha: things change, numbers move and sometimes the world is reset. Android and iOS come later; there's no date, and we won't invent one.

Can I play with friends?

Yes, that's half the game. Add friends with a code, chat, start a clan, do jobs with two, three or five people and give orders to your familia. Everyone plays in the same world.

Which languages?

English and Dutch, both complete from the start. The game follows your system language and you can switch at any time. More languages may follow.

Is the world really the real world?

The map is: real countries, provinces, cities, districts and neighbourhood names, real seaports and the real reputation of each country. The people are not. Every character, family, gang and politician in the game is made up.

Do I have to be online all the time?

No. You need a connection to play, but everything keeps running while you're away: your property earns, your loads travel, your plants grow. Every six hours the world round runs. Come back and see what happened.

How do I delete my account?

In the game, under Menu → Delete account. See delete your account.
