Really captures the panic of inventory management when there could be someone coming up to spot you from behind!

I liked the voice acting “This is the police…” :D that was a fun touch to it. Also the inventory system was well done. Good job :)

I was afraid of venturing too far into the house... but I found raiding the garage and then leaving right away non-stop was pretty safe and lucrative! Played 2-3 games, and only got busted once 😎

Had one issue on my first run where I left the house while the flashing lights were up but before the police actually showed up, and it left me on a black screen after I tried to leave the house, never actually transitioning to Day 2. Didn't occur in other play-throughs though.

Good submission!

The inventory system was a great touch, trying to sort and stuff things in while someone's coming up behind you really gave the feel of an amateur thief at work. Also I like that you give some time before the police show up and catch you, rather than just failing when someone sees you. Solid work!
