The stealth genre gets turned on its head in The Marvellous Miss Take - the only heist adventure that invites you to steal with style! Use cunning, guile and the art of deception to grab the loot and escape without getting caught by the guards!
About the story
Hold the front page: a once magnificent art collection left behind by a kindly benefactor has been unscrupulously poached and split up among private collectors around London! Enter Sophia Take, the rightful heir to the misappropriated masterpieces and, now, a would-be cat burglar to boot! To reclaim her inheritance, players must help Sophia embark on an exciting and daring heist adventure packed with fast-paced thieving action. Armed only with a talent for misdirection and the friendship of two like-minded portrait purloiners, she sets out to steal back what was once hers… Packed with thought-proving dilemmas and high-security measures, The Marvellous Miss Take turns the stealth genre on its head by using organised chaos to keep players on their toes. Successfully pilfering portraits isn’t as easy as it may seem: wandering guards decide their patrol routes on the fly, security cameras keep watch over everything and even innocent gallery goers just visiting to admire the art might raise the alarm if they see something suspicious. Only by using quick wits and even quicker reflexes can players hope to grab the loot and escape unseen – there’s no option for violence and the clock ticking!

Critic Reviews
GameSpot
By Jeremy SignorThis accessible heist game demands confidence from you, but ultimately short-circuit that aim due to inconsistent AI and dull level design.
PC Gamer
By Tyler WildeA well-made stealth game that becomes tedious before too long.
Arcade Sushi
By Greg SrisavasdiThe Marvellous Miss Take may, considering its refreshingly light color palette and cutesy moniker, be mistaken as an all too easy stealth experience, but looks are definitely deceiving. Sophia and her partners are beguiling, artful dodgers, and along with stealing a ton of masterpieces, they will also capture a healthy chunk of your time.
Worth Playing
By Brian DumlaoIn the end, The Marvellous Miss Take is a stealth game for genre fans who want to experience something outside of their normal expectations. The distilling of stealth is novel, and turning a chunk of the missions into speed runs adds some excitement to the genre. The non-predictable AI pathing for the guards keeps you on your toes, and the optional goals and the secondary cast make the game deeper than expected. Some work could've been done to make the controls tighter, but those who aren't easily frustrated by such things will find The Marvellous Miss Take to be a nice change of pace for the genre.
