Mighty Yell and Skybound Games have announced that The Big Con, the ‘90s cross-country adventure game where you can do crimes and stuff, is out today on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store for $14.99 / €12.49 / £10.99.
You can totally jump into this comical trip of a game, like, right now, and live out a life of petty theft, sneaking around, and other silly mischief. I mean, would you normally run away from home to pick pockets, steal from a child, bribe a cop, and commit some “light” bank fraud just to save your family’s video store? You sure can try now, get out scot-free and save some precious VHS tapes in the process!
Inspired by classic ‘90s culture, The Big Con is all about Ali, a teenage con artist trying to save her mom’s video store from unscrupulous loan sharks any way she can. In this colorful adventure with punchy puzzles and dialogue, how you make that money is up to you: travel across the country picking pockets and locks, persuading marks, sneaking around in disguises, and even profiting off the latest plushie fad.
The Big Con Key Features:
- An irreverent comic adventure game with open-ended situations, puzzles, and exploration
- Crime is cool now — sneak, pickpocket, wear disguises, and grift and con anyone you can!
- Mouth off! Talk your way into deals and out of trouble across the country
- Meet a cast of weird ‘90s characters and rip ‘em off (or don’t, if that’s your deal)
- T R I P L E A voice-over featuring the talents of Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2), Dave Fennoy (The Walking Dead), and Melissa Hutchison (The Walking Dead) as Ali, Rad Ghost, and Linda!
