‘Cat Burglars’ (working title) immerses the player into the glamorous world of 1950s high life. Influenced by Hollywood cinema of the time, the game is set in various luxurious settings across the world, at exclusive events, only frequented by the highest profile guests.
The game centers on an elite group of thieves, notorious for their ability to steal the most valuable items without leaving a whisker of evidence. Known by their victims as ‘The Cats’, they earn their riches by raiding dinner parties, openings, balls, casinos and any other event where money and jewels will be present. By living the highlife whilst covering up their secretive ulterior motives, they remain in the highest social circles, trusted by those who feed the cats without even knowing it.
In an attempt to quell the surge in burglaries, private security has been brought in to guard the properties of the rich and famous. Yet the cats still hunt, waiting for the purrfect moment to pounce.
