Steal the valuable, dodge the flashlight
You play both halves of the heist. As the thief you slip into the mansion, grab the target item, and get out, spending black-market cash on useful gear and using agility plus a special hiding ability to vanish when the beam sweeps past. As the guard you patrol, light up shadows with the flashlight, check cameras or send the dog ahead, and buy your own tools from the security shop.
Rounds run to a set number of wins, and you switch sides mid-game, so a brilliant burglary only counts if you can also stop one. The guard has timed tasks too. Ignore them and the thief takes the round by default, which is the game's polite way of saying: do your paperwork.
Two mansions, small teams, long-distance lag
Matches are 1v1 or 2v2 online, with co-op teammates on your side of the night shift. There are two maps to learn: a compact modern mansion for quick, close encounters, and a bigger old castle-like mansion with more room to plot routes and hiding spots.
One practical note: the game runs peer-to-peer, with player one as server and player two as client. Across long distances that can mean high latency and a rough match, so keep your rivalry local when you can.
What should you know before clocking in?
How do you win a match?
Whoever wins the set number of rounds first takes the match. You switch between thief and guard halfway through, so you need to be decent at stealing and stopping the steal.
What does the thief actually do?
You sneak into the mansion after one specific item, buy gear from the black market, and lean on agility and a hiding ability to stay out of sight until you can grab it and escape.
What does the guard actually do?
You patrol the mansion, light dark corners with the flashlight, use the dog or the cameras for an edge, shop for security items, and finish your timed tasks. Miss the tasks and you hand the round to the thief.
Can you play it with a friend on your team?
Yes, 2v2 is built for that: grab a friend and work the same shift together, whether you are both sneaking or both guarding.
