Arresting the Beautiful Thief

Corner the thief. Then decide her fate.

Arresting the Beautiful Thief is a turn-based strategy game played on a graph: a night-city map of glowing intersections and passages. You command two police officers, one step each per turn; a cunning thief moves right after you. Trap her on a dead-end node with an officer on both sides and she is yours. Let her reach a safe exit and she vanishes into the night.

Features

• Pure graph-theory chess: boards mix squares and triangles with three- and four-way junctions, so every stage is a unique puzzle. Procedural generation guarantees fair choke points and multiple escape routes, while random starting positions keep every replay fresh.
  
• Six thieves, 24 story stages: six very different women, each with her own skill and four escalating stages.
  
• Five items: Freeze, Sprint, Remove Node, Reinforcements and Relocate, unlocked as the difficulty climbs and drawn from one shared budget.
  
• Visual-novel capture scenes: catching a thief opens a four-beat story sequence that ends in a choice. Release her or arrest her; each path has its own ending CG, all collected in the gallery.
  
• Thief Mode: flip the board and play as the thief against a police AI that guards exits, flanks and uses items. Earn three stars on all four of a thief's stages to unlock her.
  
• Level editor: clear all 24 stages to unlock it. Draw your own nodes and passages, place exits and starts, test-play, and share levels with a link.
  
• Three-star ratings, 32 achievements, three save slots.
  
• Interface and subtitles in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
