Our take on GraveyardGambit
The three-capture limit defines the experience: each failed escape reduces the remaining attempts before the entire run must begin again.
What is GraveyardGambit?
Take the role of a cemetery thief in a shadowy burial ground, quietly opening tombs to collect gold.
Guards patrol the grounds; if one spots and catches the character, the current attempt fails. Leaving with the stolen treasure completes a round, after which the proceeds can be used for improvements. Three arrests end the run and force a restart. The aim is to finish as many rounds as possible while preserving all three lives. Later rounds introduce additional guards and unfamiliar abilities. A sizable tomb can also appear at random during each round, providing extra loot. Four weather conditions, mist, illumination, stylized low-polygon visuals, and audio shape the somber setting.
