Probably Stolen

Augs in Probably Stolen are people taken over by a rogue AI chip. Signs are a visible chip, odd pupils, an uncanny expression, stillness, twitching, robotic or formal speech and an outfit that does not match their faction.

Probably Stolen has four difficulties: Price Gouge (Cozy), Mark Up (Normal), Thin Margins (Hard) and Red Ink (Challenge). They set your retail markup, rent growth, permit price and reputation gains.

Probably Stolen has six factions: Lower Levels, Upper Levels, Security, Black Market, Revolution and the Sector 13 Cartel. Standing changes prices and access, and -100 with most of them ends your run.

Security in Probably Stolen inspects at random and builds a case from your crimes: 300 credits of evidence means arrest and 1,500 means execution. Hide contraband in a Smuggler's Bay, or bribe.

Probably Stolen's starting perks unlock from your second run. You get 3 points and 4 slots; negative perks add points. AllThingsHow's money pick is Savings plus Vigilant or Diplomatic.

Probably Stolen has nine starting scenarios: Apprentice, Water Merchant, Fence, Gunsmith, Chemist, Hydroponic Farmer, Aquafarmer, Rat Wrangler and Rock Bottom. Pick Apprentice first.

Probably Stolen's Wanted poster has nine names worth 3,600 credits, from Lou at 1,500 to Arthur Lafleur at 100. Hold the teal Call Security button only when you are certain of the face.

Probably Stolen has 21 Steam achievements, from Lower Levels Special for using the labeler to From Nothing, the Hard Way, held by 0.4% of players on Oct 31, 2026.

Start Probably Stolen as the Apprentice on Mark Up, keep 200 credits back for rent on Day 7, stock food, inspect everything you buy, and only report a wanted face you are sure of.

Win Probably Stolen by buying the deed from the landlord on a rent day, about 12,000 credits on Mark Up and rising, or by paying off the Loan Shark's mortgage. You can keep playing afterward.

Probably Stolen controls: Q and E rotate, F flips, O shows hints, B rings the bell, Ctrl-click transfers, a drag selects many, and 1 to 9 pick tools from the Toolbox.

In Probably Stolen, make money early by flipping food and household goods and scavenging, then appraisals and the furnace, then water, wine, fish or batteries, and weapons late. Build one working business before buying more machines.

Rent in Probably Stolen is 200 credits every seven days, rising 2%, 5% or 10% each time by difficulty. Refusing with no grace left ends the run.

Aquafarming in Probably Stolen means breeding fish in tanks, tilapia first and then eels and sturgeon, for meat and caviar. The studio calls it slower-paced and more beginner-friendly than Rat Ranching.

Probably Stolen's machines run overnight and draw power: the Furnace turns scrap and ore into ingots, the wine setup ferments and ages, Hydroponics grow crops, and a 3D Printer makes weapons.

Rock Bottom is Probably Stolen's hardest start: no stock and no credits. Winning it is the From Nothing achievement, earned by 0.6% of players so far. GitM's survivor picked Savings, Sawyer's Crew and Vigilant.

Water in Probably Stolen is graded by purity from Pure Water at 99.9% down to Gutterflow under 90%. Test it, filter or purify it, retest, and label it honestly unless you accept the risk.

Appraising in Probably Stolen means valuing a customer's item from its guide for a fee. Join the Appraiser Board for 85 credits. GitM reports 20 credits' base pay, plus up to 15% for accuracy.

Bargaining in Probably Stolen unlocks around Day 8. Offer Markup earns reputation; Demand Discount saves money and costs reputation; Blackmail works only on criminals; Threaten only on Augs.

In Probably Stolen, the display case brings buyers for what it shows, Neon Signs bring sellers, and Store Attractiveness runs from 0 to 1,000. Clean up to keep it up.

Scavenge the Dumping Grounds in Probably Stolen after closing from Day 2, with 5 attempts a visit. Each risks a wound, so bring a bandage, and a late trip can cost customers the next morning.

In Probably Stolen, read the item's manual and check it under the Magnifying Glass. Hemingway cigarettes need the right lettering, logo, color and seal; Immunivax needs a seven-digit serial; water needs a test.
