Welcome to Misdirection!

Misdirection is an upcoming game that has the player controlling a crafty pickpocket who steals his way across several ritzy locales. Players will engage in a number of very personal steals, without getting caught. From high-class yacht parties to underground gambling halls, you'll need to outwit and outmaneuver pesky guards and a tenacious detective.


To give a behind the scenes look at the game in progress, we'll be posting snippets of gameplay, profiles of characters, and going in depth to some of the core mechanics. Misdirection will release in early 2021, and this production blog will detail the process leading up to the launch!

Misdirection will be a Steam release, with the possibility of other platforms to follow (we'll try our best we swear).
