The game is pretty fun early on, the premise is original and the artstyle is neat. Comedy-wise it was mostly miss for me, but to each of their own. Unfortunately the game gets way too tedious way too fast.

Pretty much everything is centred around pickpocketing people, which is essentially just a quick mini-game you have to do about 10-50 times per level, so like a couple hundred throughout the whole game. There are other ways to earn money on each level, but these are usually connected with just walking around looking for stuff to pick up, or sometimes solving very primitive puzzles, and they never give you enough money to pass the level (meaning you HAVE to pickpocket at least a little bit, unless you do like a 100% precent run doing all the side stuff, then maybe (?) you can avoid it but come on - who would do that?). On top of that the levels get bigger with each one, so as there is no map, earning money the alternative ways gets monotonous as well.

Generally speaking - the fun of the game is pretty much gone after like half of it. As I checked it out on Game Pass I can't say I regret it, but I still wish there was more to it.
