Steam Store description

The Swindle is a steampunk cybercrime caper about breaking into buildings, hacking their systems, stealing all their cash, and quickly running away again before the police show up. All the buildings you’ll be robbing are randomly-generated, so you’ll never get the same level twice. Meanwhile, from the safety of your rickety airship up in Outer Space, you can modify your thief with new skills, tools, and all manner of advanced technological horrors, allowing you to take on bigger buildings with better security, for gargantuan rewards! Have you got what it takes to pull off The Swindle? // THE_SWINDLE.GetTransmission() ------------------------------------------------- > London, 1849_ > In 100 days, Scotland Yard will activate their breakthrough Artificial Intelligence technology, > codenamed "The Devil's Basilisk"_ > Its surveillance capabilities will be total. If the project is completed, > your career as a master burglar will be untenable_ > Steal it, before that can happen_ -------------------------------------------------
