Fiction Factory Games announces
Penny Larceny: Gig Economy Supervillain,
a comic book-style adventure based on modern economics coming "soon" to
Steam. Here's an
Announcement Trailer showing the game in action, especially if you consider
reading to be action. Here's more on the game, which one can only presume was
made by gig economy freelancers:
In Penny Larceny, players take on the
role of a voice inside the head of a master thief who must navigate a criminal
underworld using a new app named Crimr, designed to make it easier for villains
to contract henchmen and women. That voice's influence on Penny's decisions may
lead to a wide range of outcomes. Will Penny rule the world, or will they save
it?
Penny Larceny takes the player on a thrilling journey through the world of capes
and masks, where they'll encounter a wide range of interesting characters, from
a computer filled with hate to cult leaders and their very own feline
companion.
