Spirited Thief is a tactical turn-based heist simulator with a twist: take your time to scout ahead and plan your heist as your ghostly friend, then use your knowledge to break in and break out with pricey loot.

Another job gone wrong... Elaj - unlucky thief with a few magic tricks upon his sleeves - and Trin - his partner-in-crime who happens to be an intangible spirit - are on the verge of being kicked out of the ruthless Thieves Guild!

Determined to prove themselves to the guild, and make some sweet steals in the process, Elaj and Trin must work together to infiltrate heavily protected vaults, mysterious crypts, and more. With the occasional help of allies, what secrets, treasures, and troubles will the pair get their hands on?

Scout undetected as Trin, the spirit. Explore, plan, and locate secret passages and treasures without the burden of a physical body.

Steal as Elaj, the thief. Loot as much as you can without giving the guards time to react.
Outsmart enemies, sneak through locked doors, and break down magical barriers. No door can stop you.
With turn-based gameplay, get in and get out before the guards become aware of your presence. You’ve only got so long, so use your turns wisely.

Infiltrate wealthy castles, dark dungeons, and occult lairs under the guidance of the infamous thieves' guild.
Upgrade your skills with new and exciting abilities in exchange for your ill-gotten gains.
Study your briefings so you know what you’re getting into and what to look out for. Will you take it slow and steady to find all the secrets, or is a smash-and-grab more up your street?

Tune in to American Arcadia, the most popular reality tv show on the planet! In this retro-futuristic 70s metropolis all citizens enjoy a life of luxury and comfort... and are completely unaware that they're being broadcast 24/7!

So escape from the real world and sit back to enjoy the most dangerous contest on air, where a drop in your popularity comes at the highest cost: death.

Trevor Hills is your ordinary, everyday, average man. He’s more than happy with his mundane life as an office clerk. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make him very popular with the ever-important viewers of American Arcadia and sets him up for a one way trip to execution – unless he escapes.

Luckily for Trevor, he’s got help.

Angela Solano is a stage technician for American Arcadia, and she’s determined to make sure that Trevor gets out of Arcadia alive. Assisting from the outside, she uses her technical prowess and wits to manipulate the world around him, clearing the path to his freedom.

But neither Angela nor Trevor are prepared for this escape to become a journey filled with twists, turns, and lies.

Control two different characters in two different worlds as you play through Trevor’s escape in 2.5D puzzle platforming sections and assist him as Angela in first-person hacking gameplay. It’s only by working together that they have any chance to overcome the corporation they’re up against!

After telling the story of love and loss in the 1930’s South Pacific, developers Out of the Blue have created a completely new experience set in a rich world of twists and mystery.

Play through a layered narrative with the trademark polish and artistry from an award-winning studio with seasoned acting veterans Yuri Lowenthal (Spider-Man 1 & 2, Call of the Sea), Krizia Bajos (Cyberpunk 2077, League of Legends), and Cissy Jones (Firewatch, Call of the Sea) others bringing the characters and world to life.","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1249040/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1750340804",[842],{"_16":228,"_229":843,"_243":848,"_245":216,"_27":216,"_246":135,"_247":248,"_249":250},[844],{"_232":766,"_233":845,"_235":75,"_236":135,"_237":216,"_238":90,"_239":846,"_241":847},"American Arcadia - 19,50€ 9,75€","-50% ",975,"Buy American Arcadia",{"_253":847,"_254":850,"_256":257,"_258":851,"_260":852,"_262":853},1950,"9,75€",50,"19,50€","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1249040/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1750340804",{"_268":856,"_270":857},"Minimum:
