Ali is a curious, sarcastic high schooler who skips band camp to travel across ’90s America. With her mother’s video store threatened by loan sharks, Ali sets out to raise the money needed to save it, while keeping much of her plan from her mom.
Explore each stop, talk with locals, and pickpocket targets using timing-based minigames. You can also disguise yourself, eavesdrop, sneak around, and use what you learn to pull off more involved cons involving conversation, lockpicking, or breaking and entering.
Side tasks and collectibles reward looking around, while a notebook tracks con-related information and objectives. Calls home and conversations with Ali’s companions accompany the road-trip story, which mixes family and friendship with comic dialogue and ’90s details.
In the supplied reviews, players often praise the colorful, retro comic-book style and the lighthearted ’90s atmosphere. Many also enjoy Ali’s story, especially her relationships with her mother and friends, along with the dry humor and lively dialogue. The pickpocketing, exploration, side quests, and collectibles are recurring draws, though some reviewers find the core activities repetitive.
