Heisters!

Hello weary heisters. Come in, rest for a while, close your eyes. Sleeeeep. When you wake up, don’t be scared, if you can.

The Necrocloaker is back and he is so very happy. His favorite pets, you, are stuck in his prison and forced to play at his game.

Spin the wheel, get your fortune or get out. But beware, this prison is where many a heister has met their doom, where dreams are crushed and lives squandered. Survive, brave heister. Don’t die.

Check out the website here!

Tomorrow guys from our OVERKILL crew will host a stream and play the Halloween heist.

Check it out here!

Together with the heist we’re also updating the game with a bunch of bug fixes. Check out the changelog below!

Best,
