https://probablystolen.games/ An unofficial field guide to Probably Stolen, the cyberpunk shopkeeping sim from Questing Goose Studio and tinyBuild: rent, stock, customers and security. en Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/og-default.png https://probablystolen.games/ https://probablystolen.games/ https://probablystolen.games/ Run a storefront on a station where the rent climbs, the stock is borrowed, and every customer is taking notes. Cyberpunk shopkeeping simulator Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/start-here/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/start-here/ Day one of Probably Stolen, in order: pick a start, open the shutter once, read the queue, inspect before you price, and set aside Sunday rent before you buy anything. First run Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/specializations/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/specializations/ Nine scenarios are playable, not twelve. What each one opens with, which ones carry a higher rent line, and how to choose by credits-versus-rent rather than by theme. Starting scenarios Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/rent-and-money/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/rent-and-money/ Rent is collected every Sunday and rises after every rent day whether you paid or not. Here is the escalation, the grace problem, and the three-bucket rule that survives it. Economy Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/buyout-and-mortgage/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/buyout-and-mortgage/ The buyout is the win, priced at 12,000 credits on Normal and flat until day 50. The Loan Shark’s mortgage gets you there sooner for more money. The arithmetic, and when each is right. Win condition Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/customers/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/customers/ Every sale is a four-way decision: approve, refuse, report or look away. How the queue is set before you open, and why the customer is part of the item. Front of house Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/augs/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/augs/ Augs are people taken over by a rogue AI chip. Six official tells, one behavioural shortcut — they never haggle — and the manslaughter cost of being wrong. Threat register Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/items-and-appraisal/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/items-and-appraisal/ Three items can be caught as counterfeits with the inspection panel, and appraisal is a separate fee-based service. What to check, and what a margin really is. Inventory Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/contraband-and-security/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/contraband-and-security/ The crime file has three thresholds — a fine under 300, arrest at 300, execution at 1,500 — and bribes add a line rather than erasing one. How to run a grey line without losing the shop. Risk Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/factions/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/factions/ Six factions track you from −200 to +200, and −100 with four of them ends the run. How to choose a patron, what licences buy, and why consistency beats optimisation. Politics Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/endings/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/endings/ Two wins and fifteen losses, according to two independent transcriptions. The full list, the four failure systems, and why other pages say 15 or 14. Endings Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/official-vs-fan/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/official-vs-fan/ One official build, Steam app 4348910, version 1.0.0.2. The Next Fest demo is retired, the browser remake is a fan project, and the dated numbers mean what they say. Trust Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/appraisal/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/appraisal/ The appraisal board opens on day 8: four ranks, six grade bands, three valuation items and a fee that pays for accuracy. The full loop, with community-sourced tables. Profession Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/skip-intro/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/skip-intro/ Skipping the intro is not a shortcut — it moves Odin to day 2, the Appraiser Board to day 5, the Mentor to day 12, starts events and the newspaper on day 1, and makes one achievement unreachable. Start options Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/achievements/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/achievements/ The achievement list is a disguised systems map: a wealth ceiling above 100,000, attractiveness above 1,000, a sub-50-day buyout, and an entire appraisal profession. Systems map Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/market-events/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/market-events/ Fifteen random events move prices, bring a specific customer and last one to four days. The full table, plus the roll odds and the cooldown rule. Events Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/who-made-it/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/who-made-it/ Bei Ning Pan started it solo, interned at The Coalition, Ubisoft Montreal and Eidos, and names Space Station 13 and “a bit of” Papers, Please as inspirations. People Thu, 29 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://probablystolen.games/lore/what-guides-get-wrong/ https://probablystolen.games/lore/what-guides-get-wrong/ Six claims that circulate widely and do not survive a check against build 1.0.0.2: the start count, the ending count, the rent rate, the buyout, the scanner and controller support.
