Our take on A House of Thieves
The listing highlights replay variation and multiplayer, but the central activity remains collecting shopping-list items inside houses. The homeowner role adds traps for multiplayer, while the description provides little detail about broader level differences.
What is A House of Thieves?
A House of Thieves is a level-based comedy-horror stealth game about entering houses to collect goods from a changing shopping list.
The requested items are selected randomly, and their positions change when a level is replayed. An AI character moves through each house without a fixed movement pattern. Completing a level faster awards more stars, and reaching certain star totals opens additional gadgets. Multiplayer supports up to four players facing the AI, or three players competing against another player. Players can also take the homeowner's role and place traps. The PC version uses mouse and keyboard controls. Subtitles are available, and the complete game includes English, German, French, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Turkish, and Brazilian Portuguese text.
