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.
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 OctoberStreet 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 OctoberThe 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 OctoberTorn
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 OctoberVelkran
Offline persistence and round wipes both described. The homepage describes systems running while players are away. Its FAQ separately describes rounds lasting several months, advance notice of a formal wipe and hall-of-fame records. No fixed round length is inferred here.

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.
Found a stale fact or a missing game?
Send the official publisher URL and the exact field that changed. A submission is reviewed against the same rubric before a later dated edition is published.
