Step into the grimy, gas-lit world of 1849 London in The Swindle, a unique steampunk cybercrime caper developed and published by Size Five Games. This action-RPG platformer plunges you into the role of a thief tasked with infiltrating randomly generated buildings, hacking their systems, and making off with valuable loot before the authorities arrive.
Overview
The Swindle offers a thrilling blend of stealth, action, and heist mechanics set against a distinctive steampunk backdrop.
