The Swindle

In 100 days Scotland Yard will activate The Devil's Basilisk, advanced artificial intelligence technology that will massively improve surveillance and make theft almost impossible.

Therefore the thief has 100 days to steal the Basilisk and prevent it from being activated.

The master burglar is never seen in the game and does not take part in the action.

Instead he sends out lower thieves to perform heists.

A thief is sent down from an airship, the main hub, using a pod.

When the heist is successful the thief can return to the airship with the haul where the money can be spent in five skill trees: agility, abilities, tools, goggles and miscellaneous.

The game consists of six main locations that are randomly generated for level design, enemies and items with each new heist.

By earning money the main goal is to buy additional security clearance, opening up new locations, until the Basilisk can be stolen in the final location to win the game.

The six main locations are The Slums, Warehouse District, New Belgravia, Casino Town, The Banks, and The Swindle.

Each started heist, whether successful or not, takes up a single day.

The game is lost if the Basilisk is not stolen in 100 days because the game ends after that limit.

Each new location provides opportunities to steal a lot more money, but also introduces more difficulty security and more dangerous guards.

That way the game challenges the player to take calculated risks.

By saving up it is possible to move on to harder locations quickly, but the money can also be spent on various perks that make the heists easier instead.

The thief characters can die or be terminated and a random one is then generated for each new heist after an unsuccessful one.

The player is however encouraged to carry on with a single character as an experience bonus is provided for completing consecutive hei
