Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game is intended for adult audiences only and contains
frequent sexually explicit content. All characters depicted in
sexual content are adults aged 18 or over.

The player takes the role of a police officer who pursues and
apprehends female criminal suspects. After a suspect is captured,
the game presents explicit sexual content in which she is
"punished" - including depictions of sexual intercourse, bondage,
domination and sexual training (BDSM themes).

Content warning: some scenes depict non-consensual sexual
situations. The captured characters do not wish to be arrested and
do not consent to the sexual punishment that follows. These scenes
include coercion, physical restraint, humiliation, and a
significant power imbalance between the player character and the
captured characters.

The game also contains full nudity, explicit depictions of
genitalia, sexual dialogue, and depictions of criminal activity.

All content is fictional. It is not intended to endorse, promote
or condone any of the acts depicted.

About This Game

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.
