Abermore (v2022.04.07)

An 18-day countdown gives the action a welcome sense of pressure, casting you as a folk-hero thief with one enormous score to plan. Abermore places its Robin Hood-inspired outlaw in a stylized neo-Edwardian city full of crooked opportunities, strange locals, and heavily guarded valuables. The mood balances grimy alleyway crime with eccentric humor, so a careful burglary can unravel because of something as ridiculous as a rubber duck. Every job ultimately feeds the preparation for the legendary Feast of the Lucky Few.

Most missions play out from a first-person perspective, asking you to scout interiors, avoid guards, steal what you can, and escape before a bad situation becomes fatal. Each new day brings generated jobs, side requests, and encounters, meaning you must adjust to unfamiliar layouts and complications rather than memorize a fixed campaign. Looted goods become currency on the Black Market, where weapons, tools, and oddball equipment support louder or subtler approaches. Tarot-based supernatural powers add another layer to stealth, granting abilities for evasion, mobility, and protection when lockpicks and patience are no longer enough.

Abermore stands apart from straightforward stealth games by tying its capers to a compact roguelite-style schedule, where choosing allies and spending resources can matter as much as sneaking well. Crew members offer practical bonuses, while the city’s shifting assignments encourage experimentation with different cards, gadgets, and routes through a robbery. Its rough-edged, surreal crime-fantasy atmosphere feels closer to a scrappy heist tabletop campaign than a polished stealth sandbox, with room for both careful planning and glorious improvisation. Fans of Dishonored’s supernatural sneaking, Thief’s cautious theft, or roguelite runs built around unpredictable tools should find plenty to like, especially if they enjoy adapting when a perfect plan collapses.
