Cool concept, and cute art, nice music!
Unfortunately I feel like many things made it hard to experience it the intended way:
- no ingame explanations/tutorials
- after a first run, controls seem to be locked
- it felt really easy to catch the thief, because I knew where he would start, direct a guard there + put my light just where he was and then follow him with a guard.
Seems like the foundation for a fun game though! Great job, submitting something!
