by TeamCS1 · 2023 · Web (itch.io demo) / Windows
Crime Syndicate is TeamCS1's mafia idle RPG: run the family, run the rackets, and climb the syndicate's ranks in a text-driven GameMaker build. Free on itch.io as a browser demo plus a downloadable v0.1.3.1, with the developer's own site dead (Wayback holds its 2023 snapshot).
What the loop feels like
You run a mission, the crew earns, and the earnings recruit a better crew. That's Crime Syndicate.
