Crime City is a free-to-play, text-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game played in a web browser. It was released on 1 August 2026 and is developed independently. The game requires no download or client and is played on both desktop and mobile browsers.
Players begin with a small amount of in-game currency and build a criminal character by committing robberies, training four attributes (strength, intelligence, charisma and resistance) at a gym, and joining or founding a player-run family. Progression is measured in "respect", which determines a player's position on the public leaderboards. Secondary systems include car theft, street racing, a casino, a black market and a player-run flea market. Actions are limited by timers that refill over real time rather than requiring continuous play.
Crime City runs in fixed 25-day seasons. At the end of each season the entire game world is reset and every account, including the previous season's leading player, returns to level 1. The stated intent is to address the accumulated-advantage problem common to long-running games in the genre, in which established accounts cannot realistically be caught by newer players. Character death is also permanent within a season: a successful kill operation removes the target character until the next reset.
The game is free to play and offers an optional VIP subscription. Players who finish a season highly ranked receive a prize denominated in CRIME, a token on the Solana blockchain; playing does not require a cryptocurrency wallet.
