Scam Center Simulator: Underground Kingdom Launches Steam Early Access
The game's premise-turning morally repugnant acts into a management sim loop-tests how far the genre's satirical framing can stretch before it becomes straight shock value.

Australian developer Jiao Games released Scam Center Simulator: Underground Kingdom on Steam Early Access. Players build a scam empire to repay debt through theft, phishing, rigged gambling, and kidnapping workers. The Early Access period is expected to last about one year, with a price increase planned after it ends.
Jiao Games, an Australia-based studio, put its management sim Scam Center Simulator: Underground Kingdom onto Steam Early Access on May 29. The player character carries a massive debt and builds a scam center to clear it, using theft, phishing emails, dating-app manipulation, online casinos, and rigged gambling tables. Upgrading equipment increases profit margins. Labor comes from kidnapping skilled people off the street; they can be assigned as dealers or transporters or put into giant hamster wheels to generate electricity. Workers need physical and mental management through discipline and brainwashing. Resources like electricity and food can be traded with the mayor, police, and local residents. The Early Access period is expected to run roughly one year, and the price will rise when it ends.
