About Crime Shop Simulator: A Prison Boss Game
Crime Shop Simulator: A Prison Boss Game moves the crafting‑and‑simulation core of Prison Boss VR onto the streets of New Yolk City. Players run a chain of stalls, making legal and borderline‑legal goods while the mayor constantly changes what’s banned.
The title supports solo play or online co‑op with a friend or a stranger, runs on Windows, and requires VR‑only tracked‑controller support. Earn cash, upgrade shops, boost reputation, and climb leaderboards across three distinct city levels.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Modes
The game offers a single‑player experience and an online co‑op mode where you can partner with a friend or a random player. Both modes let you manage stalls, craft items, and sell to the city’s residents.
Co‑op is described as online, meaning you connect over the internet to play together. No other platform distinctions are mentioned, so the experience is the same regardless of where each player is located.
- Start with solo mode to learn the crafting flow before inviting a partner.
- When co‑op, discuss who will focus on brewing versus rolling to keep production steady.
02 / THE GUIDE
Crafting System
Players can brew beer, roll cigarettes, and create other items from a catalog of over twenty craftable goods. The mayor’s bans may shift, requiring you to adapt your recipes on the fly.
Upgrading shop equipment is documented as a way to increase efficiency, meaning faster production or higher output once upgrades are applied.
- Watch the mayor’s current bans and switch to items that remain legal.
- Consider early equipment upgrades to reduce later production time.
03 / THE GUIDE
Police Enforcement
The New Yolk Police Department intensifies crackdowns on contraband. If they catch you or your partner, they will seize any illegal merchandise and halt your business operations.
Avoiding seizures involves managing how much contraband you keep on display and staying aware of police activity as described.
- Limit the amount of contraband on the stall to reduce seizure risk.
- Balance legal items with risky ones to keep sales flowing when police pressure rises.
04 / THE GUIDE
Reputation and Jobs
Selling to workers, wealthy citizens, and completing special jobs raises cash flow and reputation with city factions. Higher reputation unlocks more lucrative opportunities and improves street cred.
Reputation is presented as a metric of success, encouraging players to diversify customers and accept faction‑specific contracts.
- Mix everyday sales with faction jobs to keep cash steady.
- Track which faction offers the best payout for your current inventory.
05 / THE GUIDE
Shop Customization
As earnings grow, you can upgrade your shop’s layout and equipment for better efficiency. Cosmetic upgrades also let you enhance your character’s appearance, described as becoming the “coolest cock‑a‑doodle‑dude” in town.
Customization does not affect core mechanics beyond efficiency gains, but it provides visual flair and personal expression.
- Prioritize equipment upgrades that directly improve production speed.
- Apply cosmetic upgrades after functional upgrades for added enjoyment.
