With Filcher being on sale and finally getting save system - you really should check it out if you are desperate for some first person thieving.

Someone on the Steam forum said they got it working well after rebinding some stuff - haven't tried it myself. I may work on better support at some point.

You mainly see quite similar locations in our posts, because we are careful not to spoil too much of the game.

Guest Curator's Excerpt @2headedhero.bsky.social

"We're glad to see that Immersive Sims are not dead.
But it’s up to small studios and solo developers to bring them back to life. We’re in a bit of an indie imsim renaissance, thanks to their hard work and passion"

You think the cleaner is only good for cleaning?
Ha! Think again!
How about spraying oil and setting it on fire?
Such a classic... (just one example from many)

Yes! We finally implemented the Thief-like ledge-grabbing feature, which made the sense of freedom and the exploration a thousand times better in an instant.

One of the fun things about looking at code you wrote years ago is finding comments like this. 🤷

Filcher Review
YouTube video by CarmelOP Filcher Review

Filcher, by solo dev @johanhjarpe.bsky.social, is a fun spiritual successor to the classic Thief Series. If you can get it at the right price, it's well worth it. Full review below.

Had a great launch party for this tonight.

Usually when I release my games I sit at home and feel nervous, so for once it was nice to feel nervous in public instead. We did a Pogo Kombat tournament. Folks loved it. This might be a good game? Good Steam reviews so far. Feels nice. G'night folks.
