About The Big Con

The Big Con is a comedy adventure game about hustling people out of their money, that’s brimming with 90’s nostalgia, developed by the Mighty Yell a game studio based in Toronto, Canada. Play as Ali a teenage con artist trying to save her family’s video store business from loan sharks by traveling all across 90s America with an expert grifter to coach you on the art of charming, cheating, and swindling people out of their money. Remember don’t tell your mom for all she knows your still at band camp practicing how to play the clarinet.

• Conning people out of their money requires finesse and cunning wear disguises, sneak around, listen in on conversations, and observe people’s habits whatever it takes to be able to approach them. Pickpocketing is a simple but effective moneymaker, but you will be taking the money from people who might need it the most. Alternatively, you also go after big shots, but these jobs require a lot of planning, breaking and entering, smooth-talking, etc.
• While the gameplay is about serious crime’s the tone is like that of a light-hearted coming-of-age movie with a dash of TV Sitcom humor, talk your way into deals, the lives, and out of trouble. You also need to check in with your mother once in a while to make sure she still doesn’t suspect a thing.
• Immerse yourself in the aesthetics of the 1990’s plaid, payphones, VHS tapes, and malls. Relieve your long-forgotten high school years, or if you were too young to experience them, act out the cheesy classic teen movies you sometimes watch.
