This game is a game of skill and chance, This game is set in the England 1970's in a time of poverty, you start off as a thief and your occupation is to pickpocket people you see on the streets and take your collections to your boss the Thief King, you start off pick pocketing low class citizens and slowly work your way up the ranks of thievery and moving on to higher class citizens and then to cars, homes, banks and then royalty. You need to be stealthy or you will be caught the best way is to stay out of sight, like hiding in alleyways, hay stacks, dark corners or any terrain that can hide you. "good luck with that. oh! did i forget to mention you are a critically obese thief who cant run very fast, so don't get caught!" The way you pickpocket people is to be patient, if you wait for a little bit people don't suspect a thing and your chances for stealing something go's up significantly or you can just throw you big fat hands into someones pocket and hope for the best, "but id say that it would not be a good idea because of your running situation, i just do not think your little chubby legs can do it"
this game is top-down game to give you the best view possible "Your the big black blob when you are in the game".
