Lurk, Leap, Loot (2023 7DRL)

Sneak into mansions, map them, steal all the loot and escape! Coffee-break turn-based stealth inspired by Looking Glass Studios' Thief games.

The thieves' guild has tasked you with mapping out ten of the most opulent mansions in the city, for future big heists. In the meantime you are free to keep any loose valuables you may find. The game's final score is based on how much of the loot you have collected and hung onto.

We started from ThiefRL2, a previous 7DRL entry of mine, so it will be familiar if you've played that. Here are some of the changes:

• Player movement changed from 8-way to 4-way, plus a "leap" mechanic
• Guards patrol routes now instead of wandering randomly
• New tileset by Damien Moore
• Voiced dialogue and sound effects
• Torches that can be lit or doused; guards can carry torches
• An ending. Can you get all the loot?
