Enter a world of heroes, villains, masks, and capes in Penny Larceny: Gig Economy Supervillain. You play as Penny Larceny—a grifter, con artist, and cat burglar who is barely scraping by. Her life is hard, but things are about to change as she gains access to "Crimr," the gig-economy service for henchpersons looking to help supervillains with their evil schemes.
This narrative-driven game tasks you with guiding Penny through her new career. You will plan and execute daring heists across the city, navigate the intricate web of alliances and betrayals that makes up the criminal underworld, and perhaps even unravel the conspiracies that allow the rich and powerful to maintain their status quo. With multiple paths and endings, every playthrough is a new adventure where you can choose to save the world, or perhaps rule over it.
The game is designed to be played your way, with a strong emphasis on player choice and customization. You can choose your own pronouns, a sneaky alias, adjust "naughtiness levels" to your comfort, and even decide whether you want to pursue romance or not. The game also includes accessibility options such as OpenDyslexia fonts and text-to-speech support for blind players. Along your journey, you'll meet a diverse cast of characters, forge friendships, build relationships, and, as the game humorously suggests, probably pet a cat and/or destroy capitalism.
