The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

You methodically case and burglarize 80s homes and businesses, balancing stealth and preparation while soaking in a nostalgic, low-tech aesthetic.

What players say

Players split on American Theft 80s: many call it a buggy, poorly optimized game with long load times and clunky animations, while others enjoy the 80s setting and say its story and variety of characters improve on Thief Simulator.
