LONDON, UK – March 29, 2022 – Be the legend that the city deserves. Four Circle Interactive and Fireshine Games are thrilled to invite players to inherit the role of a notorious thief and pull off the heist of the century in Abermore, an all-new first-person stealth RPG available today on PC via Steam.
From the creators of 10 Second Ninja X, Abermore puts players in the role of an unscrupulous thief preparing for the ultimate royal robbery, taking on jobs from a ragtag crew of crooks and criminals to grow their reputation and convince the city that they’re devious enough to lead a grand heist.
Craft new equipment to assist with your thieving and bounty hunting, trade goods on the black market for better loot, discover magic tarot cards to aid you on your quest, and use anything you find as a weapon. Ransack houses, steal new loot, form alliances, trade precious goods, seduce aristrocrats, discover supernatural powers and build your notoriety in service of a single goal: to plunder the Royal Palace for all its worth.
FEATURES:
▪ Undertake countless unique heists – Adopt the mantle of “The Unhanged Man”, a legendary Robin Hood-esque figure during the 18-day run-up to a grand heist. Steal valuable loot and evade detection in daring robberies, where thousands of randomized elements mean that no two levels are ever the same.
▪ Barter and acquire new gear – Plan wisely to grow your arsenal and acquire improved equipment. Barter with fences in the Black Market to sell stolen goods and buy new weapons, or get creative with some of the more ‘unconventional’ tools of the trade.
▪ Lady Luck is on your side – Find tarot cards to discover unique abilities and supernatural powers to gain the upper hand during a heist.
▪ Expect the unexpected – While you should plan your heists carefully, sometimes you’ll have to improvise. Stay hidden and utilise whatever you can find.
▪ Discover Abermore – Explore a neo-Edwardian city, meet Abermore’s citizens and create unlikely alliances on your path to the ultimate score.
“Abermore was born out of our love for games that let players be broad in their approach to completing objectives - and the improvisation needed when things don’t go to plan,” said Dan Pearce, Game Director at Four Circle Interactive. “Giving players the tools to tackle each 18-day campaign differently and make every run unique was a huge consideration for us while developing the game, and we really hope players enjoy experimenting with Abermore’s systems on their quest for theft.”
