Thief's Roulette is a Story-Driven Puzzle game. It combines the narrative focus of visual novels with first person puzzle gameplay.
Thief's Roulette is being developed for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PS4.
Preorders and other purchases are now available through Backerkit to support development.
Story You arrive in an unfamiliar place. You and 14 others have been taken and forced to compete for your lives in a series of challenges, hosted by a mysterious woman calling herself Lady Luck. When the group is split into 3 teams they learn the truth of this game; to win means to sentence your opponents to death.
Lady Luck proclaims these 15 strangers to be Thieves, and for that reason, she has brought them here, to fight for their lives. They must complete all of Lady Luck's Challenges if they hope to make it out alive.
Lady Luck's Game Before each of Lady Luck's Challenges, the 15 thieves are randomly assigned to 3 teams. From there, they will enter their respective Challenge Rooms and attempt to complete the task the fastest. The catch, is that both 2nd and 3rd place teams will have to take part in the Marking Roulette. Members of these 2 teams are randomly marked for death. If you are ever marked twice, you will be eliminated.
