Grab it and go
Steal as much as you can and escape. Fill your bag, keep your cool, and make it out the front door before an Officer catches you in the act.
In development
Act natural. Trust no one.
A social deduction stealth game. Rob the store, blend into the crowd, and walk out the front door before you get caught.
What is Shoplifters?
Everyone spawns into a busy store as one of the shoppers. Shoplifters and Officers are hidden in that crowd of NPCs, and blending in costs you nothing. The only thing that can give you away is the act of stealing.
So you move carefully. You watch how other players act. You wait for the right moment, and you try to read who is really a thief and who is just browsing. One wrong move and the whole store is onto you.
It is simple to learn and tense the whole way through. Act natural, and trust no one.
Pick a side
Two roles hide in the same crowd. You only know which one you are.
Catch the thieves
Spot the Shoplifters and stop them before they slip away. Everyone looks like a normal shopper, so read the room and make your move at the right moment.
Screens
Straight off the store floor.
Act natural. Trust no one.
Blend into the crowd. The moment you steal is the moment you can be caught.
Update log
Where Shoplifters is right now. We share progress as we build it.
Crowd and blending
Tuning the NPC shoppers you hide among. Blending in is free, so the crowd has to feel busy and believable enough to disappear into.
The two roles
Shoplifters and Officers now play against each other. Stealing is the one action that can give a Shoplifter away, and Officers have to read the crowd to catch it.
