About This Game

Features:

• Thief's Shelter features a concrete, albeit non-intrusive narrative. Define your experience at your own pace, with certain events being entirely optional. VHS Tapes found scattered throughout the game provide insight to hidden lore, while James documents his experiences and thoughts in an organized Memoir- which you can review at your leisure- to combat the symptoms of memory loss.
  
  
• James' investigation sees him faced with intricate, expansive puzzles of considerable complexity. With the acquisition of certain tools as the game progresses, seemingly ordinary areas reveal their true secrets. Clues crucial to the investigation are recorded in your Investigation Notes, which you can use alongside your wits on your journey to the truth. Decipher cryptic riddles, uncover hidden passwords, and find missing key items, all in one comprehensive challenge that tests both your investigative skills and your ability to combine various mechanics.
  
  
• Embark on an ever-evolving journey where excitement never fades. Thief's Shelter's experience unfolds throughout multiple 3D environments- each one full of life and vastly different from the other. Whether through James' actions or through the passage of time, the world around you constantly changes, with little events happening at every turn- a layer of complexity that many titles of the genre lack.
  
  
  Traditional click-to-move navigation systems can sometimes become tedious as players progress through the game. In response, we have implemented both a walking and sprinting function, giving you control over the pace of your character's movement. To further enhance the feel of navigation, we have introduced a dynamic waypoint system. As you advance in the game, waypoints irrelevant to the current game state are automatically removed from view. This not only maintains visual clarity but also ensures that new waypoints are activated only when it aligns with the narrative's progression, effectively reducing traversal times while preserving the exhilarating sense of exploration and discovery that the game offers.
  
  
  Thief's Shelter features a fully voiced cast, with the delivery of each character keeping you immersed and evoking a vast range of emotions throughout your journey.

• Responsiveness from start to finish. All features have been brought to modern standards to eliminate wait times between interactions and keep a smooth flow throughout the experience.
  
• Getting stuck in a game is not fun. The Objective Log along with James' dynamic hints and UI widgets help you to always stay on track, even when you resume play after a long pause.
  
• No more nonsensical puzzles or pixel-hunting. Puzzles are carefully built to respect your intuition, while their difficulty comes from their intricate design- instead of the solution being slyly hidden between pixels.
