The Swindle

You play a master thief in Victorian London, racing to steal a surveillance AI before it is activated. Each heist uses up one of your 100 days. Break into procedurally generated buildings, avoid or outmaneuver security, hack systems, and gather cash. Get out before the alarm brings the police down on you. Spend your earnings aboard your airship on new skills and tools. Upgrades let you tackle larger buildings with stronger security and greater potential rewards.

In 1849 London, rob randomly generated buildings, hack for cash, and upgrade your thief to steal a surveillance AI within 100 days.
