What Shady Business is
Shady Business was released in 2026. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Make lamps for villains! As a Villux employee, you create eclectic lamps for ominous clients of the underworld. Receive your design brief, build your lamp, and shape the sinister plans of your customers across a treacherous network of villains.
How it plays
It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for X64 architecture with SSE2 instruction set support, Arm64, 8 GB RAM and DX10, DX11, DX12 or Vulkan capable GPUs. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 1GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
