Shadow Thief

Darkness is your only ally. 

Sneak through patrolling guards, stay hidden in shadows, and solve pixel stealth puzzles. Plan your route carefully — one wrong move, and you will be caught. 

No blades, no combat — only careful observation and quick wits will carry you through each level. Seek out useful items scattered across the map to alter your surroundings, break sightlines, and open new paths.
