Crime Shop Simulator: A Prison Boss Game

Crime Shop Simulator: A Prison Boss Game is a simulation game from TREBUCHET. It takes the crafting and simulation gameplay of Prison Boss VR out of jail and onto city streets. You run a chain of market stalls selling legal and not-so-legal goods, with the goal of taking over the black market and getting rich. It came to the Meta Horizon Store on July 10, 2025.

How it plays

You brew beer and roll cigarettes, then sell them to customers ranging from workers to the wealthy. The Mayor keeps changing what is banned, so you have to adapt, and the New Yolk police are stepping up their hunt for contraband. If they catch you, your stock is confiscated. Cash and special jobs raise your standing with the city's factions, and money goes into upgrades for your shop and equipment and a sharper look for your character. The humor leans heavily on egg and chicken puns.

• 3 levels.
• More than 20 items to craft.
• Leaderboards.
• Shop and character customization.

Multiplayer

You can play alone or team up in co-op with one partner, either a friend or a stranger matched online. If the police catch your partner, the goods are seized just the same. Meta also lists the game under social titles, and the developer runs a Discord server for players.

Comfort

Meta rates Crime Shop Simulator as comfortable for most people. You can play sitting, standing and room-scale with controllers.
