What is Probably Stolen?
Probably Stolen is a cyberpunk shopkeeping simulator set on a dystopian space station. You run a shop, negotiate over questionable goods and decide how to deal with the people who walk through your door.
Made by Questing Goose Studio and published by tinyBuild, the game mixes trading with item inspection, processing machinery and faction relationships. This independent guide focuses on specific player questions, with linked sources and notes where release updates changed older advice.

Build your business without losing sight of rent
Probably Stolen puts you in charge of a shop on a dystopian space station. Suppliers can exaggerate what their goods are worth, while rising rent makes an expensive mistake harder to absorb. Your first priorities should be understanding your starting business, checking purchases and preserving your next payment. Official game description
Start here
- Learn the opening routine: choose your scenario and perks, inspect goods and plan around rent.
- Test and treat water: follow the water guide for testing, treatment and labeling.
- Understand chemistry equipment: use the introductory machine-chain guide, with a separate evaporator reference.
- Choose your next question: explore appraisal, Dr. Jackson, inventory controls or shop ownership.
For other specific questions, see the guides to Aug identification and community-reported radioactive-waste disposal.
Choose a starting direction
The official description lists gunsmith, chemist, water merchant, fence, farmer and rock-bottom starts. Starting perks are selected before the run opens, so make that choice alongside the business you want to learn. Our beginner guide keeps the opening checklist flexible rather than prescribing one supposedly perfect route. Starting scenarios · Perk selection
Your display case is another early decision: it helps signal which goods or business lines interest you. Use it deliberately rather than treating it only as spare storage. Display-case guidance
