7 itemsAbout the Game
Set in a 1950s-inspired city, A Nice Safe Job is a 2D cozy crime caper where wits and patience are your best tools. Start at the bottom of the Thieves Guild, crack devious safes, and liberate loot to become the city’s most notorious thief. Navigate a world where greed is your greatest enemy, and outsmarting the authorities is just another night on the job.
MASTER THE HEIST
Use a unique tactile interface to crack complex security mechanisms like tumbler locks and number pads. Solve environmental puzzles and study your surroundings. You have infinite time to crack the safe, but precision and observation is key.
GRAB THE LOOT
Once the safe is open, the timer starts. Balance greed against risk and grab as much high-value loot as you can before the police arrive. If the timer hits zero, you lose your haul.
RISE THROUGH THE RANKS
Sell your findings at the Pawn Shop to gain Money and XP. Filling your Rank Meter unlocks new city districts, with increasingly challenging jobs, and valuable loot to grab. Spend your money on an array of tools and devices to help in your safe-cracking adventures.
