Ashen Creek Is Open! Time to Make Your Move.
Hello, criminals! 🔒 The wait is over. Ashen Creek is finally live now. No pressure, right? 🙂↕️ There's a whole new neighborhood to explore, and honestly, the folks in Ashen Creek probably should have spent a bit more on locks. Sorry, Ashen Creek residents. There are 9 (give or
Original postHello, criminals! 🔒
The wait is over. Ashen Creek is finally live now. No pressure, right? 🙂↕️
There's a whole new neighborhood to explore, and honestly, the folks in Ashen Creek probably should have spent a bit more on locks. Sorry, Ashen Creek residents. There are 9 (give or take, depending on how you count) new places to break into, some shiny cars to "borrow," and enough loot to make your backpack question its life choices.
If you're after your next big score, Ashen Creek is officially open for business. But don't get too comfortable. Ashen Creek has a few new tricks, like pressure floors and other security gadgets that exist purely to ruin your day. Maybe take a second to look around before you sprint for the loot. Your ankles will probably appreciate it.
Watch on YouTube What awaits you?
A Brand-New Neighborhood 🏚️ Ashen Creek has over 9 unique spots just waiting to be searched, looted, and, well, you know how this goes. Sorry again, Ashen Creek.
High-Value Targets 💎 Thinking about your next break-in? Maybe the jewelry store, maybe the pharmacy. Just remember to check the exits before you fill your pockets. Learned that one the hard way, trust me.
New Wheels to Steal 🚗 Keep your eyes open while exploring Ashen Creek. There are some new cars out there, just waiting for someone with the right kind of entrepreneurial spirit.
New Security Traps ⚠️ Pressure floors and other security measures are ready to ruin your perfect score. Watch your step. Or don't, and let us know how that goes.
Party Like a Criminal 🪩 Once you've made it back with your loot, you can finally upgrade your hideout with a disco ball, glowing dance floor, disco lights, and LED panels. Because nothing says "successful criminal operation" quite like a questionable rave setup in your living room.
But tonight isn't just about dropping a new neighborhood. It's about seeing what you actually do with it.
We want to hear from you!
Which location are you hitting first? Are you going straight for the jewelry store, hunting for a new ride, or planning something a little more ambitious? Share your best scores, screenshots, funniest moments, close calls, and completely questionable decisions with us. Found a clever way around a trap? Show us. Got caught doing something ridiculous? We want to see that too. 👀
🔥 A Little Something for Our Criminal Crew 🔥
To mark the launch, we've put together some bundle discounts for anyone who already owns a few of our other games. Already part of the crew? You can grab Ashen Creek with a few other titles for an extra % off. Not bad if you like a deal.

Original postTomorrow, Ashen Creek finally opens its doors.
We’ve spent so long wandering around in there that we’re honestly a little jealous you get to see it fresh.
There’s a lot crammed into this neighborhood. Targets everywhere, and more than a few places that are just begging for a little, let’s say, creative entry. We’ve got a jewelry store, a pharmacy, and at least nine other spots that may or may not have been inspired by my own questionable life choices.
Plenty of room for your criminal creativity. 🔒Once you’ve made off with the loot, you can finally do what every master thief dreams of: throw a completely over-the-top rave in your hideout. We’re talking new disco lights, a glowing dance floor, a disco ball, and enough LED panels to make your neighbors suspicious for entirely new reasons. Honestly, it’s about time crime paid off in party supplies.
Ashen Creek goes live tomorrow. Set your alarms, or just stay up all night like I probably will.
See you on the other side. Don’t forget to send screenshots of your best (or worst) heists. 🥷- Developer post

Original postHey everyone!
Update 1.5 just went live. It's a big one, and it also lays the groundwork for Ashen Creek, the new DLC neighborhood coming August 11. Most of what's below lands in your game today, for free, no DLC required.
The highlight this time is the new Chemist's Workshop: loot chemical samples on your runs, bring them back to your hideout, and cook them into product.
On top of that, scoring got a proper rework. It now factors in stealth, time spent, and more, and the score overview at the end of a run actually shows you where the points came from.
I've also rebuilt the saving system to stop items from disappearing after loading into the map, which I know has been driving some of you crazy.
Changelog 1.5:
Added
Chemical samples that can be stolen and used to make drugs.
New furniture: Chemist's Workshop. Make drugs from ingredients found while looting.
New furniture: Mystery Box. Put in loot and get a surprise back, better or worse.
New furniture: Exchange Box. Swap skill leaflets, golden cards, or upgrade modules for a different one of the same type.
New furniture: Trash Bin. Search it once a day for a random item.
New furniture: Forgery Workshop. Duplicate any item, once per quota.
5 new radio songs.
New achievements.
Changed
Improved scoring system that now factors in stealth, time spent playing, and more.
Enhanced score overview at the end of the game.
Reworked saving system to prevent items disappearing after loading into the map.
Fixed
Many bug fixes and improvements.
Available in Ashen Creek DLC (August 11)
New map: Ashen Creek.
New furniture: three storage shelves, a disco ball, a dance floor, a disco light, and 2 wall LED panels.
See you in Ashen Creek on August 11!

Ashen Creek is rolling out in just 3 days. (No pressure, but maybe start practicing your sneaky walk.) We’ve unlocked a whole new neighborhood, and honestly, the security team here might want to rethink their life choices. There are 9 (and a bit) new targets to case, shiny cars to “borrow,” and more loot than my inventory system can handle. If you’ve got any wild heist plans, now’s the time to start plotting.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Ashen Creek without a few surprises. There are some new security tricks waiting for you, including pressure floors that definitely weren’t designed with clumsy burglars in mind. Step carefully, or you might end up setting off more alarms than you meant to.
Once you’ve made it out (hopefully with all your loot and dignity intact), head back to your hideout, stash your haul, and maybe throw on some music. If you end up celebrating with a screenshot or two, I’d love to see how your crew does it.
Ashen Creek lands in 3 days. If you haven’t wishlisted it yet, now’s a great time; it really does help out. Let me know what you’re planning, or just drop your wildest heist ideas below.

Watch on YouTube It's a whole new neighborhood with over 9 spots to break into, including the juiciest targets in the game so far: a jewelry store and a pharmacy. New cars to steal, new traps to ruin your night (watch out for pressure floors), and a bunch of new furniture for your hideout, from a Mystery Box that gambles your loot to a Forgery Workshop that can duplicate items... or destroy them.
If you can...hit that wishlist button. IT'S NOT A CRIME! DUH!
See you in Ashen Creek.

Original postHey Everyone!
As a solo developer, I’ve been quietly working on the game's very first expansion, and I can finally reveal it today: welcome to the Ashen Creek DLC:
This brand-new neighborhood map features over 9 unique spots to break into and loot, including high-value targets like a local pharmacy and a jewelry store.
You will be able to search the area and steal brand-new cars, but you also need to watch your step to avoid deadly new security measures like pressure floors.
It’s been a huge project to build on my own, but Ashen Creek could easily be your biggest payday yet - stay tuned for more updates!
