Overview
100% Free to Play
Black Market is completely free. No premium tiers, no pay-to-win mechanics, no locked content. Every player has access to every feature from day one.
Black Market is a text-based crime RPG that runs entirely inside Discord. Build a criminal empire from nothing — work shady jobs, pull off heists, fight rivals, form gangs, control city territory, and grind your way to the top of the underworld.
The game has 48 slash commands organized across 10 phases of content, from basic character creation all the way to prestige resets, weekly community bosses, and server-wide world events.
