i feel like catburglary is especially well-suited for this type of technical profession based sim (which you see a lot of now). i've never played a game like this that nails the tension of creeping thru someone's home at night so well - you slowly stake out a house, learning all of the entrance points, escape routes, and homeowner's routines before breaking in. once you're inside, you have access to a pretty wide array of tools for navigating around security and planning further intrusions. these kinds of games really shine when they establish a tight gameplay loop, and this one is no exception. it's a little janky at times, and i guess the story isn't anything to write home about, but why are you playing 'thief simulator' for the story? the mechanics are what matter here, and they work very well imo.
