The Big Con

Overview of The Big Con

The Big Con is a vibrant, comedy-filled narrative adventure game that masterfully captures the essence of 90s teenage rebellion wrapped in nostalgic cartoon aesthetics. Players assume the role of Ali, a quick-witted high school band member who abandons summer camp to embark on a high-stakes cross-country road trip. Her mission: to save her mother’s threatened video rental store from the clutches of ruthless loan sharks. To secure the necessary funds, you must navigate America through a series of streetwise maneuvers—pickpocketing, blending into crowds with absurd disguises, sneaking through restricted areas, and using fast-talking persuasion to maneuver through complex schemes. With its striking, hand-drawn art style, razor-sharp dialogue, and a cast of eccentric characters, the game offers a delightful fusion of light puzzle-solving and crime-comedy, challenging you to decide exactly how far you are willing to go to pull off the ultimate con.
