First-hand checks: 24 September 2026

Before signup: four routes inspected, one unavailable

Chrome on Linux, 390 and 320 CSS-pixel widths. These are public entry observations, not physical-phone or authenticated-gameplay tests. Width pairs below are viewport / document pixels; overflow alone does not establish whether a form works. No accounts were created or forms submitted.

Read the method, observations and practical phone checklist. The September 3 census edition above retains its original source dates; this additional check does not revalidate every game or field.

Official sources checked: 12 October 2026

Persistent worlds and reset policies are different questions

Five deliberately selected games from the September census illustrate three different claims: continuity between sessions, competition in rounds, and an explicit no-reset promise. This is a public-source check, not a market survey or a test of what survives a wipe. No competitor accounts were created. DHEWY LTD publishes Street Crime and this research.

  1. Gangster Nation

    Round restart described. The official Rounds page says the competitive field restarts each round, usually after fifteen weeks. Carry-over rules for individual purchases or account records are not established by that page.

    Official Gangster Nation rounds, checked 12 October
  2. Street Crime

    Between-session continuity described. Public pages describe an ongoing browser world and continuing character progress. The reviewed homepage and About page do not provide a universal no-reset guarantee. Gameplay losses and account rules remain separate questions.

    Street Crime public description, checked 12 October
  3. The Fifth Family

    Between-session continuity described; whole-game reset guarantee unconfirmed. The homepage describes an ongoing world and a separate weekly Arena. A recurring ladder does not establish a wipe of the whole character.

    Official The Fifth Family homepage, checked 12 October
  4. Torn

    Explicit no-reset commitment. The official feature list promises that players and trained progress will not be reset. This records the publisher's commitment; it does not independently test delivery or establish protection from every gameplay loss or sanction.

    Official Torn features, checked 12 October

Unknown means not established by the pages reviewed, not that a feature or policy is absent. These five examples do not estimate the share of games using each model. The September dataset and its original review dates above remain unchanged.

Read the findings and three questions to ask before investing in a character.

Methodology

How a game entered this census

Included

An entry needs an official HTTPS page, an explicit browser-play claim, a crime or mafia RPG/MMO premise, public evidence of current operation or access, and enough English-language evidence to review.

Excluded

App-only games, social deduction games, single-player titles, inaccessible signup-only claims, and products supported only by third-party directory claims are excluded.

Neutral ordering

Entries are ordered alphabetically by game name. No score, award, payment, affiliate relationship, estimated popularity, or editorial preference affects placement.

Unknown values

Not publicly stated means the reviewed official pages did not establish the attribute. It is not a claim that the game lacks the feature.

Source policy

Descriptive claims use official publisher or game pages. Each entry records the pages reviewed and the date of that review. Later product changes are outside this snapshot.

What each field means

Browser access
Whether an official source explicitly offers play through a web browser.
Access status
The public access state shown by official sources on the review date.
Progress model
Whether public sources describe continuing progression, rounds, seasons, or do not state the model clearly.
Player groups
Whether official sources publicly describe player-run groups such as crews, families, factions, or cartels.
PvP
Whether official sources publicly describe direct player-versus-player conflict.
Economy or trading
Whether official sources publicly describe an economy, market, trading, or player-owned economic assets.
Mobile form
The mobile access form explicitly described by official sources; this does not rate mobile quality.
