Probably Stolen brings dystopian shopkeeper simulation and black market trade to orbiting station

Probably Stolen is a cyberpunk shopkeeping simulation where players manage storefront operations, trade illicit goods, and navigate faction rivalries aboard a divided space station.

Storefront Operations and Rising Overhead

• Players take control of a former scavenger operating a retail storefront inside a divided space station.
• Daily survival requires balancing inventory sales against increasing rent payments before debt accumulates.
• Store owners can begin as a gunsmith, chemist, water merchant, fence, or hydroponic farmer.
• Choosing distinct trade paths introduces tailored production equipment along with unique financial risks.

Merchandise Inspection and Black Market Trade

• Managing inventory involves inspecting items, filtering water supplies, and modifying weapons to meet customer demands.
• Shopkeepers must authenticate rare artifacts, prepare chemical formulas, and verify genuine labels on traded goods.
• Profitable transactions frequently involve fencing discounted contraband or selling counterfeits to wealthy patrons.
• Every deal carries risk, as deceptive suppliers or faulty merchandise can eat into shop margins.

Faction Politics and Security Raids

• Customers arriving at the counter range from faction operatives to undercover station agents.
• Choosing which sales to complete influences local reputation, unlocking new permits or attracting armed inspections.
• Store owners must conceal contraband from station Security or rely on bribes when raids occur.
• Faction connections grant access to underground markets and restricted trading networks across the station.

Station Hazards and Business Expansion

• Rogue AI hosts known as Augs present unpredictable threats that shopkeepers must identify and handle.
• Successful storekeepers reinvest profits to expand physical shop space and manage automated production chains.
• Expanding into multiple retail ventures provides higher revenue to withstand steep rental increases.
• Strategic decisions determine whether players support station residents or exploit them for personal financial gain.
