What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Since this is our first game project, we want to keep on developing and seek for the community to help. There are a lot of ways to balance the game, implement new mechanics and more importanly collect the feedback to polish the game - to finally make it the most realistic lockpicking simulator.
”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The current expectation is to finish the game until the EOY - to implement more basic locks, several king of lockpicks and, of course, more robust phisical engine. That would be the most complete list of features. ”

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

“As planned to add much more locks types and options of lockpicks andd their techniques, like Rake's and lockpick guns, shapes of lockpicks end etc.

”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently all functionality listed in About is available.”

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

“No, the price will be the same”

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

“Happy to hear any feedback and suggestion to improve via community hub, review or in our Discord server.”

About This Game

A lockpicking simulator that does not roll dice.

You know the minigame. Stop the bar, wiggle the stick, pass a roll you never see. This is not that.

Here the lock is real - a cutaway cylinder with springs, drivers, and one line where the plug meets the shell. A pin sets because you held it right, not because you invested 9 points in your lockpicking skill.

This game lets you see how cylinder locks, combination locks, and disc-detainer locks work, and try lockpicking yourself without buying any tools.

No combat, no story, no dailies, no loot. The lock is the whole game.

What is in the box

  • Eight driver profiles - spools, serrations, mushrooms, and worse. Every lie comes from the shapes; none of it is scripted.

  • Lock Streak - how many locks can you unlock in 5 minutes?

  • A lock editor, from one chamber to sixteen, with share codes short enough to read over the phone - a mistyped code fails instead of decoding into the wrong lock.
