Project Art Thief (PAT) is a third-person stealth game where you’ll get to wander around the beautiful museums of a european city, map their weak spots, and sneak in and out unseen to replace pieces of art.
“Replace”? Yes. You see, you’ve discovered that your late grandma was an art forger! In an effort to save your family name, you decide to swap back the real works she stole with the forgeries she left hanging in the museums. Whether grandma’s ghost has something to say about that remains to be seen…
Inspired by some of my favorite stealth games like Hitman and Splinter Cell, I wanted to take a more lighthearted, non-violent route, and explore a different side of the genre that is typically headlined by bearded soldier men.
I’m currently developing the prototype for PAT with funding from the Creative Industries Fund, which I’m very excited about! Currently it’s all gray boxes while I work on the gameplay, but I’ll have more to share soon.
If you’re curious about said gray boxes already, here are a few tweets from development so far (click the tweets to see the videos):

As I said, I’ll have more to show later this year. I’m also working on a proper website and presskit and everything, so I’ll let you know when all of that will start appearing,
