GRIFT — Rise in a city built on corruption

Make dirty money. Wash it through your fronts. Buy influence at City Hall — and once you're connected enough, run for office yourself. A criminal record only stops you if you're not corrupt enough to bury it.

Kingpin, councilman, or cautionary tale. Your move.

One living city

Every block is contested.

A single persistent world, run entirely by players. Claim territory, build an empire, and watch it all shift while you sleep. The economy never resets — your history is real, and so are your enemies.

Work it or run it

Build a business — or a crew.

Open a laundromat, a nightclub, a casino. Hire real players and grow it tier by tier. Or recruit them into a crew instead — it's the same game, just the other side of the law. Who you hire decides what you can pull off.

Power for sale

Buy the city. Or run it.

Launder dirty money into clean influence, lobby the Mayor's office, fund a campaign — or take the seat yourself. Pork-barrel deals, pay-to-play permits, pardons for sale. The corruption is real, and it's a mechanic.

However you want to rise

Three paths to the top

The Hustle

Get a job, train your skills, climb the wage ladder, and grow a legit empire. The slow, clean road — and a respectable face for everything else.

The Crime

Run with a crew, pull heists, hold turf, and stack dirty cash. Faster and richer — if you can outrun the Heat and stay out of a cell.

The Corruption

Trade money for influence, rig the permits, and weasel your way into office. Rule the city legally — and protect everyone who got you there.

Pick one. Or all three. Your choices make you.

Founding access

The city's waiting.

Get on the founders list. Be first through the door when the doors open — and grab your spot before the other 500 are gone.
