I Know a Guy: Shady Life Simulator

After being forced to work off a debt to the mafia, you run a pizza shop in Hobarey Town while handling illegal business behind the counter. Play alone or with up to four players online. Make pizzas and serve customers while completing shady favors for townspeople. Jobs can involve sourcing restricted goods, cleaning evidence and disposing of items, with risk and police attention rising as you take on more work. Develop the legitimate shop and the hidden operation separately through upgrades to your kitchen, workstations and equipment. Build reputations on both sides, meet NPCs through their ongoing problems, and manage the balance between attracting police scrutiny and drawing the mafia's attention.

Run a pizza shop as cover for mafia errands, balancing customer orders, shady favors and police attention alone or in four-player co-op.
