How It Begins

The game opens with the mastermind explaining the plan for the heist:

A warehouse. A bare room downstairs.
A chalkboard. Four hard wooden chairs.
One mastermind: you,
addressing your crew:
four misfits who want what's not theirs.

Then, the game truly begins by flashing back to one week earlier, where the player must recruit the four crew members.

Notable Features

  • Wordplay. All the text in the game, including the options menu and credits, is in limerick form.
  • Characters are color-coded. The name of each character and the dialogue of that character appears in a color specific to that character.
