What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Pick-a-Pocket was created in an inter-studio weekend Jam between Amythica and Stout Heart Games. The jam was designed to have fun while testing our skills as a team and seeing how fast we could complete a game. We loved playing Pick-a-Pocket together so much that we wanted to release it to the global community and garner your feedback!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Pick-a-Pocket will be in early access for at least 12 months depending on how many features we wish to implement and the response from the community.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“While we already have plans in the works for Customisation, Maps and Game Modes. Amythica and Stout Heart Games are open to community input and feedback as well as investigating the genre to develop a game that will steal your heart.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Pick'a'Pocket currently offers a 2-4 person online multiplayer party experience where you can have fun pickpocketing NPCs and your friends competing for 1st place. This starts with one map and one game mode for future expansion.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features. While maintaining an enticing entry point for new players.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The community can contact us with ideas through Discord, Steam, Surveys and E-mail as well as in person at conventions. The feedback our community gives will shape the future of Pick-a-Pocket.”

About This Game

Step into the shadows of a Victorian-era themed underworld where cunning and stealth reign supreme. Pick-a-Pocket is a multiplayer stealth game that pits you against your friends in a battle to become the king of thieves.

~ View the current top players in the match via the leaderboard. Scores are tallied and shown at the end of every game!
~ Join games seamlessly via Steam invites or lobby codes.
~ Don't want to player by yourself? Fill up to 8 player slots with your friends or AI bots!


~ Master the art of concealment in the murky Victorian night. In Pick-a-Pocket, darkness is your ally. When shrouded in shadows, you become invisible to other players, allowing you to move undetected across the map.
~ Beware - step into the light or get too close to others, and your cover will be blown. This dynamic stealth system creates a tense cat-and-mouse game where timing and positioning are crucial.
~ Will you risk a dash across a lamp lit street for a tempting target, or bide your time in the safety of the shadows?


~ Swipe coins from randomly spawning targets, but beware - your greed may attract unwanted attention!
~ Escalating Excitement: Feel the tension rise as more police flood the streets as the match progresses.
~ Watch out! If the police catch you with their flashlights you will be sent to jail and lose a portion of your earnings.


~ Multi-level Mastery: Navigate elaborate, multi-story maps that reward exploration and tactical thinking.
~ Interactive Environments: Ride steam cars and use elevators to outsmart your opponents and evade capture.


~ Chart your journey from novice pickpocket to master thief with our comprehensive career tracking system.
~ Monitor your progress across 25 different statistics, including level records like "Richest Night" and "Highest Bail Paid."
~ Review your lifetime stats such as "Total Nights Won" and "Total Gold Lost."
~ Learn the Ropes: Master the art of thievery with a fully voiced tutorial.
~ Achievements Galore: Prove your worth with a wide range of challenging achievements.

In Pick-a-Pocket, every shadow conceals an opportunity, and every coin pilfered brings you closer to underworld infamy. Will you emerge as the craftiest cutpurse, or find yourself behind bars? Gather your gang, sharpen your wits, and prepare for a night of high-stakes heists in the gaslit streets of a bygone era.
Can you pick your way to the top of the criminal underworld?
