Procedurally generated steampunk roguelike heist action adventure.
<span class="bold">The Swindle</span>, a sneaky 2D heist action adventure, is available now for Windows and Mac - DRM-free on GOG.com with a 15% launch discount!
From the creators of hilarious and wonderfully janky adventures Ben There, Dan That and Time Gentlemen, Please! comes the standout release that blends all the things that are just the coolest: crime capers, steampunk, and hand drawn art. The Swindle is a procedurally generated crime caper adventure with a bit of roguelike permadeath for good measure. As a petty (or not so petty if you're good enough) thief, your job is to locate your target, break in, then GRAB EVERYTHING YOU CAN AND RUN. In a rare proposition for stealth-based games, staying unnoticed is only half the battle, and inevitably being found out doesn't mean you've failed. In fact, that's when the game turns into an action-packed and frantic race against time to get out with your pockets stuffed and your bones intact. You're going to fail a lot, but you'll also do a little better each time with a steady flow of upgrades and unlocks to make your next thief, and your next heist, even more profitable.
