Thieves' Gambit: The Curse of the Black Cat

While this wasn't the worst thing I have ever read, I still feel very disappointed. It's a great deal shorter than most of these stories, not very immersive, uninteresting story, bland characters, predictable twists and is often unclear in it's options. I find myself skimming everything in re-reads and didn't care about what happened. I only reccomend it to those who want to play all of these games or want to kill an hour for a cheap price - just don't go in with high expectations. Compared to other games in this genre it is one I have liked the least.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this story. It was definitely one of the shorter titles I've read through, but it was fun. The only issue I had was that I honestly had very few chances to act "brutal" as my character was setup.

It has a great story and plenty of choices. It's like reading a choice your own adventure book.

Tags: Adventure - Choose Your Own Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Bland audiovisually. Mechanically simple CYOA about heisting as a notorious thief. Scripting and dialogue authentic to paper CYOA and replayability suffers for it. Series of mini-events in which you can usually adopt a response that follows a stealth/charisma/brute force kind of approach and at which you can be more, or less, successful at based on how you answered early game character creation questions, and potentially RNG although I dont really know either way. Engine is all white background, black text, simple buttons. No audio or illustrations. Does not seem to be much of a game, scripting wise, to determine success or failure or allow more freedom, which you would sort of expect on a PC version of this format of entertainment. All in all pretty disappointing with a fairly derivative, "famous thief" plot, trying to outprestige each other. Sigh. Kind of annoying to get to the end, fail a roll for unknown reasons, and be forced to either quit or click through all the dialogue all over again, replay value is lower than you'd expect.

Wonderful adventure! It isn't my first choose-your-own-adventure game, but definitely one of the favorites. Thieves's Gambit gives you a pretty good and solid story, cool team and many choices that have different consequences - sometimes good, sometimes not, but it doesn't get your "game over" in any case, just make things a little easy or hard for your character. I really appreciate that. I also like that game doesn't have a "empty place" in the middle of story, when nothing happens and you feel like game itself give you some tasks just because character be boring in any other case. It looks bad, belive me, so I really, really glad that Thieves's Gambit doesn't have such a feature. What I don't like: some traits of your character is much more useful, than others. I was playing as a stealthy thief at first, then as persuasive one and game was much easier in the last case. Still it's a good story, that I want to replay one or two more times for sure.

Awesome game, fun story. Thanks for making the game!

Well written, fun plot, good pacing. It's a choose your own adventure game so if you're not a fan of that genre there's nothing here for you really. My only real gripe is that there is no way to backtrack or save states, which means you need to start from the very begining from each divergant path, and I just can't be bothered to do that.

Very short but good. Would love to see a sequel.

Kiva ja antoisa peli niille, jotka arvostavat tarinoita.

This a pretty good interactive novel. The characters are loveable, the story is good, and has plenty of choices. However, it felt waaaay to short. As soon as I was getting into it, it ended. I do recomend this, tho I do wish it was as long as some of the other Choice of Games.
