A crew of local oddballs hauls a copper-piped printing-press cart through a rain-slicked harbour street at dusk, past a bakery and drapery, cranes and fishing boats, beneath the title Secondhand Trouble.

YOUR NEXT “ONE MORE GO”

A small game with plenty to get stuck into.

You are your street's last resort: take a job, get in over your head and save the day with a terrible plan that almost works.

Quick jobs with a clear goal, a snag halfway through and a satisfying finish.

Brawl, take cover and build a wobbly contraption from scrap just in time.

Bigger story cases follow the people you help around Calder Quay.

STILL BEING MADE

Secondhand Trouble is on its way.

IN DEVELOPMENT

Planned for Windows PC

In Calder Quay, jobs have a habit of going sideways. Your crew of local oddballs answers calls from neighbours in trouble: brawl through a cluttered alley, duck an armed racket, salvage scrap and get an unlikely contraption working just in time. A quick job gives you a clear goal, a snag halfway through and a satisfying finish. Bigger story cases follow the people you help as the harbour town, and the crew's friendships, change around you.

GET COMFORTABLE

Play your way.

Steer one hero at a time through punches, dodges, grabs and aimed shots while the rest of the crew lends a hand with a single button. A two-choice Plan B keeps the menus short.

Jobs are short and can be retried at once, with no daily tasks or streaks to keep up. Controls can be remapped, and a pause lets you stop and think mid-job.
