I Know a Guy: Shady Life Simulator
Bunch'o'Nerds · 2026-04-01
Modes: Single player, Multiplayer, Co-operative
Releases: Apr 01, 2026 (PC (Microsoft Windows))
Run your pizza shop up front and handle shady business out back. Help hand-crafted NPCs with favors that never go as planned. Play solo or online co-op with up to four players and expand your operation across Hobarey Town. In this darkly comedic management sim - become that guy everyone knows.
You owe a dangerous, mysterious mafia a serious amount of money. They don’t call. They don’t warn you. They kidnap you and make it clear: work it off, or else. Run your pizza shop, take on shady favors, and get to know the people of Hobarey Town while doing the mafia’s dirty work. Learn who to trust, who to use, and who to avoid. Maybe you’ll pay off your debt. Maybe you’ll build the right connections to take the mafia down.(Storyline via IGDB)
