The money never sleeps

You start with limited cash, a debt to repay and a deadline. Capital Criminal is a retro economic strategy and management game played through an interface: read the market, make deals and decide how much of your future to put at risk. Your ambition is an underworld empire. Every decision has a cost.

Buy low. Travel. Sell high.

Trade illicit goods across 12 international cities. Compare prices, buyers and available supply, then decide what to carry and where to sell. Travel consumes time and money, so a high selling price is only part of the calculation.

Every profit has a price

Keep cash for the next journey. Manage bank deposits and debt while police encounters, rival gangs and unexpected events threaten your plans. Health and morale matter alongside the balance sheet.

Reinvest. Expand. Take control.

The longer careers open new ways to invest your earnings. Build warehouses and sales points in the 90-day and 365-day modes. The 365-day career adds laboratories, production and deeper asset progression. Sales points can generate income as game days advance; expansion still demands decisions and carries risk.

Build your fortune before time runs out

Follow your financial history, compare results and try a different route next time. Growth is your goal, and neither profit nor survival is guaranteed.

• 30 days: a focused trading, debt and survival challenge, without investments.

• 90 days: trade and expand with the mode's limited investment options.

• 365 days: develop a broader operation with production and advanced assets.

Your little partner in crime now sports sunglasses, a gold chain, expressive gestures and a persistent mood. He reacts to deals, travel and your financial situation while looking for free spaces in the interface.

Overnight scenes feature a layered skyline, stars and four weather conditions. During air travel, the departure city fades into the destination as the plane crosses the screen. Reduced-motion preferences are respected.
