I think I have to play this game about running a pizza shop as a front for the mafia because I once lived near a pizza shop that I swear was a front for the mafia. My evidence: there were always three dudes chain smoking out front, the place never once smelled of pizza, and the one time I went in and asked if I could get a slice of pizza, the guy behind the counter stared at me for about five seconds and then said "No."

Anyway, the game is called I Know A Guy and it left early access on Steam today.

Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.
