The Swindle
The Swindle is a steampunk cybercrime caper about breaking into buildings, hacking their systems, stealing all their cash, and quickly running away again before the police show up.
All the buildings you’ll be robbing are randomly-generated, so you’ll never get the same level twice.
Meanwhile, from the safety of your rickety airship up in Outer Space, you can modify your thief with new skills, tools, and all manner of advanced technological horrors, allowing you to take on bigger buildings with better security, for gargantuan rewards!
Have you got what it takes to pull off The Swindle?

Already played it at my friends house years ago, now bought it again on Steam and played through it again. The controls are quirky and sometimes don't do what you want them to do, but actually they are very predictable. So once you get the hang of it, you can indeed control the character very precisely.
I think this game is brilliant. It's just a very smart game that exploits your greed. But when you give into the greed, waste day after day trying to pull of the big bank heist - and then finally actually go out with 400k in your pockets, that's just so fulfilling. And it really caputres the "I'm a greedy thief who risks everything, every night" feeling.
No matter what everyone else says, for me it will forever be a game design masterpiece, one of the great works I will always remember.
