tinyBuild has released “Probably Stolen - Cyberpunk Shopkeeper Sim,” a cyberpunk pawnshop sim developed by Questing Goose Studio.
A simulation game where you run a pawnshop in the slums of a massive space station
This simulation game puts you in charge of a pawnshop in the lower levels of a massive space station divided by wealth and corruption. You’ll earn money by crafting, trading, and smuggling goods of unknown origin while maintaining relationships with various factions.
Your pawnshop will be visited by a diverse cast of characters, including police officers gathering evidence, revolutionaries seeking a trump card, fallen elites testing their mettle, and humans taken over by runaway AI. Your reputation will fluctuate based on the choices you make in the moment—whether to accept or reject a deal, or even report a customer to the authorities.
To verify the value of the goods you acquire, it’s important to hone your ability to assess their worth. Depending on the item, special processes may be required—such as inspecting cigarettes, filtering water, modifying weapons, or forging permits.

The developers have stated that they will continue to provide regular, free content updates. Upcoming updates are scheduled to include scenarios featuring organ traffickers and street food vendors, new appraisal items, and expansions to the main story.
While save data from the demo can be carried over, it’s recommended that you start from the beginning so you don’t miss out on the newly added story content.
