Crown Thieves: Stealth Game

Crown Thieves is a medieval stealth game in isometric pixel art. You are Rook, a thief and assassin who works the town by night, robbing corrupt nobles and silencing the worst of them. Read the guards' vision cones, keep to the shadows and get out before anyone raises the alarm.

Every mission is one hand-made heist: slip past the watch or thin it out, steal the prize, hide the bodies and escape through the sewer grate. A mission takes about 3 to 8 minutes, and every move is a tap on a landscape phone.

READ THE GUARDS
• Every guard shows his vision cone: green on patrol, yellow when suspicious, orange when searching, red when he gives chase.
• Torches and braziers light the night, and some guards carry a torch. In the dark you are hard to see. In the light you are not.
• Sneak and you can creep through the far end of a cone unseen. Run and every guard nearby hears you.
• Long-press a guard to watch him and see exactly where he would spot you right now.

ONE THIEF, EVERY TRICK
• Knife guards from behind or shoot them with the crossbow. Armoured captains shrug off bolts, so take them from behind.
• Pick locks, open chests and lift purses and keys from the guards' pockets.
• Throw a coin to lure a guard away, douse a torch with water, or knock on a wall to draw him over.
• Carry bodies out of sight: drop them in a bush or stuff them into a haystack, barrel or wardrobe. A body left in the open will be found.
• Hide in the same places yourself, climb walls with ivy or ladders, and blend into the crowd at the market.

SEVEN HEISTS
• Market Day: lift a moneylender's purse at the night market.
• The Tax Collector: steal Odric's strongbox, with a second way in over the rooftops.
• The Baron's Manor: take the crown from the treasury. The Baron dies.
• The Tax Carriage: rob the strongbox from a carriage while it stops at the toll and the inn, before it leaves the village.
• The Outlaw Camp: crawl through the long grass, take the ransom and kill the outlaw chief.
• The Abbey Relic: ring the bell to send the monks to prayers, then slip into the sacristy.
• The Smuggler's Quay: swim the canal, drop a crane's cargo on a guard and board the smuggler's ship.

A TOWN THAT WATCHES BACK
• Townsfolk, maids, monks and dockers go about their work, and they keep watch too. One who sees you where you shouldn't be shouts for the guards.
• Out in the street you are just a passer-by. Step through the gate and you are an intruder.
• Hens scatter squawking, a scream brings the guards running, and an alarm brings out reinforcements.

PLAY IT YOUR WAY
• Earn up to three stars per mission: escape with the prize, never raise the alarm, and take all the loot.
• Play it as a pure thief game and ghost through unseen, or leave a trail of silent takedowns. Being spotted doesn't end a mission, but the guards fight back and Rook has only three hearts.
• Each mission teaches its new tricks by showing them on the spot, with no walls of text.

PLAY OFFLINE
• A single-player offline stealth game: no internet needed, no account and no sign-in. Your stars are saved on your device.
• No ads and no in-app purchases.
• Made for landscape phones, with forgiving taps.

Pick your first lock, rob your first noble and vanish into the night in this pixel-art stealth game.
