I stereotyped the guy wearing just undies and lost. Great game!

I like your idea lol. Switching CCTV to observe them and catch the thief. It made me very focus on it. Well done!

Submitted

Really clever take on the theme! I spent more time watching people dance than catching the thief. I never found the thief. Mission failed successfully)))

This is a cool concept, and I like how fluid it is. I think that the camera system is definitely very confusing and I just dont know what camera I am jumping to at any given point. It would be cool if WASD or something similar could be used for contextual camera switching and it can switch to the nearest one based on what I pressed so I know what camera I’m switching too, since that makes it easier for me to find the suspect! But I really like this idea.

Really cool game! I loved the concept, and the game also felt nice and polished. Good work!

Enjoyable game! I like the premise and it's very well put together and the music brings it all together too. I followed one person around for most of my first playthrough not realising that someone else was stealing the rest of the gems. The camera disruption you explained below caught me off guard and I wasn't really sure what was happening at the time, but generally it's an excellent and well built game!

That was a very cool game. Lots of fun. Very polished too. Lots of options to control cameras and catch the thief! Luckily, I seeked the thief first time! Woo hoo! Very satisfying. He looked so dodgy. I could totally see this game developed into different museums, banks, galleries etc. I'd buy it. Again, lots of fun. Thanks for the game.

I seeked a thief! I couldn't figure out if moving the guard around did anything. But I liked the idea and it's fun how it goes from seeming impossible to being very do-able quickly.

The thief won't steal a gem if the guard is nearby, they will move towards the security stations to cause a camera disruption, forcing the security guard to abandon the gem and fix the disruption. Not well explained, but helpful for finding the thief by making them a bit reckless.

Cool!

This was good. It would be nice if there was some way to catch the thief in the act instead of having to wait until they stole everything but still quite an enjoyable time.

If you know who the thief is, you can call for the round to end by holding spacebar. But that was a late addition to the game and not really well explained or demonstrated anywhere, just a small prompt in the controls guide.

I really liked this! Keeping track of everyone was a bit overwhelming, but I could definitely see this being a full game. Great job!

This was really fun, youre looking at all your other diamonds, change cameras, Oh shit! i lost one! hahaha and then you basically just do that over and over and over again hahaha I cant stop laughing.

Had this same idea for the game jam but went on a different direction, glad to see someone actually build it! Tho I think you did way better job than I would've done. Great Job!
