The verdict
A free, rough prologue demo of a stealth-burglary sim with co-op and varied entry methods, but it looks and feels janky and many series fans call it a downgrade. Skip it if you want polish.
Great for
Series fans who want to try co-op burglary and can tolerate an unfinished early build
Main risk
Janky, buggy, ugly build that feels worse than Thief Simulator 1 and 2
What players love
