The game pits players against each other in a 1v1 competitive multiplayer setting, where one player takes on the role of a thief trying to steal a specific item from a mansion, while the other player becomes a security guard tasked with preventing the theft.
Players switch between the thief and security guard roles at the midpoint of the game, ensuring a balanced and fair experience. The thief must rely on stealth and agility to sneak into the mansion, avoid detection, and successfully steal the target item. The security guard, on the other hand, has additional tasks to complete, such as feeding the fish, protecting the cheese, and watering the exotic plant. Failing to do these tasks can result in the thief winning the round. The thief can use various items and abilities, like hiding in shadows, to outsmart the security guard, while the guard utilizes tools like cameras, a dog, and a flashlight to gain an advantage and catch the thief in the act.
With an average rating of 91% on Steam, the game has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players. They consistently praise the fun and engaging gameplay, especially the cat-and-mouse dynamic between the thief and security guard. Reviewers highlight the game's cartoony, humorous presentation and sound design, which add to the overall enjoyment. They also appreciate the simplicity of the core mechanics, which are easy to learn but offer strategic depth. The ability to switch roles between thief and security guard is another aspect that keeps the gameplay balanced and fresh.
While the game's core gameplay has been praised, some players have identified areas for improvement, such as addressing occasional technical issues like game jitters and AI pathfinding problems, balancing the power between the thief and security guard roles, and expanding the game with additional maps, modes, and customization options.
