ABOUT

A sprawling crime dynasty simulation spanning the entire twentieth century American underworld. Build a criminal empire across generations — from Prohibition-era bootlegging through the golden age of the mob to the fall of the Five Families.

Every character ages. Every character schemes. Every character can betray you — or die for you. Hundreds of NPCs pursue their own ambitions, form alliances, and make choices that reshape your world whether you're watching or not.

No two playthroughs are the same. No outcomes are scripted. The simulation runs deep, and the consequences run deeper.

What Makes It Different
THE SIMULATION RUNS DEEP
GENERATIONAL DYNASTIES
Build a criminal empire across the full twentieth century. Your decisions echo through children, grandchildren, and rivals who remember.
100,000+ AUTONOMOUS NPCs
Every character is driven by behavioral AI — pursuing ambitions, forming alliances, and making moves whether you're watching or not.
EMERGENT NARRATIVE
No scripted storylines. No predetermined outcomes. The story writes itself from the collision of hundreds of competing lives.
LIVES IN MOTION
Characters age, marry, inherit, betray, and die. Loyalty is earned, power is borrowed, and nothing lasts forever.
HISTORY RESHAPES THE GAME
Prohibition opens new rackets. The Kefauver hearings bring heat. RICO changes everything. The century moves — adapt or fall.
BUILD YOUR EMPIRE
Run rackets, claim territory, manage loyalty, and project influence. Every enterprise is a lever — and a liability.
