Our take on It Steals
The defining detail is its learning loop: the game withholds some explanations, requiring players to infer and improvise, while each death reveals information that can bring a later attempt closer to victory.
What is It Steals?
IT STEALS is a survival horror game set in a maze inhabited by quiet, erratic creatures.
Its different modes build on the central idea by introducing another major threat and special mechanics for confronting it. The game withholds some information, leaving players to determine how the available survival tools should be used. The monsters anticipate familiar behavior and continue plotting within the maze. Each failure reveals something useful, allowing later runs to move nearer to a successful escape.
