▸ A Hardcore Crime MUD

LOW LIFE CITY

"You start at the bottom. The only way out is through."

An AI-driven crime MUD inspired by Dope Wars and Sim Gangster. You arrive with nothing — a few crumpled bills and a name nobody knows yet. Buy low, sell high, build your empire, and watch the city react to every move you make.

Everything a Criminal Needs

Six districts. Three factions. One city that remembers every move you make.

💊

Drug Trade Economy

Eight substances, six districts, prices that drift every five minutes. Spot the arbitrage, move fast, and don't get caught holding when the market turns. This is how you go from broke to paid.

🔥

Crime & Heat System

Rob, deal, and fight — but every crime raises your heat level. Too hot and the cops raid your stash, arrest you, or worse: a bounty hunter starts tracking you across the city.

🤖

AI-Powered Narrative

NPCs remember your history. The city newspaper reports on player actions. Story arcs evolve based on your choices. The LLM narrates — but code decides every outcome.

⚔️

Factions & Territory

Three criminal organizations fight for control of the city's six districts. Align with one, play them against each other, or go independent and take territory for yourself.

🏚️

Hideouts & Crew

Rent a safehouse, upgrade its security, stash your contraband. Recruit crew members to guard your operation while you're out building the empire.

🌐

Modern Web Client

Play in your browser with a custom noir dashboard: live heat meter, interactive city map, market panel with price trends, NPC contact list, and a living news feed.

Three Steps to the Streets

01

Create Your Account

Register for free. No download required — the game runs entirely in your browser via the web client, or connect via any telnet client to port 4000.

02

Hit the Streets Broke

You start in Downtown with a small stake and nothing else. Check prices with price, buy low with buy <drug> <qty>, and travel to other districts with go <district>.

03

Claw Your Way Up

Launder your dirty cash, rent a hideout, recruit crew, align with a faction, and start taking territory. The city reacts to everything — and so do the other players.

The Heat System

Every crime you commit raises your heat level (0–100). Manage it or face the consequences.

HEAT LEVEL 0 ──────────────────────────── 100
0 – 25 Low Profile
26 – 50 Cops Watching
51 – 75 Raids Likely
76 – 100 Maximum Wanted

Three Factions. One City.

None of them are looking for a partner — they're looking for someone expendable. Prove yourself and that changes.

Sindaco Crime Family
Downtown · Uptown

The old-money mafia. They've run this city for decades, operating out of upscale fronts in Downtown and Uptown. Organized, well-connected, and they don't tolerate amateurs.

Rivals: Harbor Rats, The Quarter Crew
Harbor Rats
Harborside · Industrial Zone

A street gang that grew up around the docks. They control the import pipelines — anything that comes in by boat pays them a cut. Rough, numerous, and fiercely territorial.

Rivals: Sindaco Crime Family
The Quarter Crew
The Quarter · The Flats

A loose coalition of dealers, hustlers, and fixers who operate out of the entertainment district. Less organized than the others but well-connected and adaptable.
