About The Big Con
The Big Con is a crime-filled road-trip adventure set across a wacky version of 1990s America. You play as Ali, a curious, sarcastic high schooler who skips band camp to travel cross-country and save her family’s video store from the loan sharks trying to shut it down. Along the way, she learns the art of the con from an expert grifter and decides who to swindle and who to help.
Con your way across America
You wear disguises, sneak around, eavesdrop on conversations and work out how to approach each mark. Grifts can involve breaking and entering or smooth talking, and you can overhear keypad combinations, changebreak rubes, steal and sell things, or pickpocket people. You can also choose to help someone rather than con them.
Ali’s road trip
The linear coming-of-age story features weird and wonderful characters to talk with. You can call home and tell your mom the truth about the trip, or keep lying to her. You can also turn on a laughtrack to make the adventure play like a criminally funny sitcom.
Collectibles and minigames
The game includes collectible stickers and an arcade skateboarding minigame. It also includes a Halloween story expansion called Candy Corn & Crime.
