The job

Break into abandoned buildings at night, find the valuables, and drag them back to the van. Everything you carry is heavy, awkward and fragile, and something in there is listening.

Physical loot

Grab, carry and drop real objects. Heavier items slow you down. Hard knocks cut an item's value.

They can hear you

Enemies see in a cone and hear footsteps, loot hitting the floor, even loud talking. Sneak, break line of sight, turn the torch off.

Proximity voice

Only people near you can hear you. Talk to your team, and hope nothing else does.

Down, not out

Go down and your team can revive you. If everyone drops, the run is over.

Almost no light

Your torch and a faint glow are all you have. Past the beam it's deep indigo, then nothing.

Found footage

A shaky VHS camcorder look, with tape glitches when you're hurt or something is close.
