The Big Con Sneaks onto Mobile With 90s Crime-Comedy Charm

The Big Con has slipped onto mobile with all the confidence of a teenager in a plaid shirt trying to save the family video store through petty crime. This 90s-flavoured adventure stars Ali, a young con artist on a road trip full of pickpocketing, awkward lies and nostalgic chaos. It is exactly the sort of game that makes mobile feel like a great home for character-driven indies: tap-friendly, stylish, funny and weirdly warm despite all the scamming.

The pitch is simple: steal, sneak, talk your way out of trouble and maybe save the day without telling your mum absolutely everything. Mobile players who like story games with personality should keep this one high on the weekend list.
