Master stealth in a multiplayer pickpocketing showdown set in Victorian-era shadows. Players compete against friends or AI bots in up to eight-player matches, swiping coins from spawning targets while hiding in darkness to stay invisible. Light exposure or proximity to rivals reveals your position, sparking tense pursuits amid escalating police patrols and flashlight scans that send caught thieves to jail with lost earnings.
Navigate multi-story maps using steam cars and elevators for tactical edges, then track your rise through 25 stats like Richest Night and Total Nights Won. A voiced tutorial teaches core skills, while achievements and leaderboards crown top thieves at match end. Casual indie fans who crave strategic cat-and-mouse action with friends will steal the most from this Early Access PC title.
