About the Game

🖼️ An Unlikely Pair of Master Thieves

Walter and Winter Melone were meant to live a quiet and unassuming life. However, their family legacy won’t let them rest. They must follow in the family’s footsteps and do their best to become Master Thieves… despite not having any of the necessary skills.

Explore ancient mansions, crash through the furniture, steal what you can, and run away from both the security and the supernatural in this singleplayer slapstick stealth shenanigans.

♟️ Play It Your Way!

A very silly love letter to 90s horror games, Stumble in the Dark takes fixed cameras and moody aesthetics with modern game design and physics-based objects to create a comedic and spooky stealth experience.

Each level is highly replayable, with many ways in and out. Find the right keys, fall through broken floors, and swing from the chandelier to steal masterpiece paintings and priceless treasures. You can do your best to sneak carefully and methodically, or just run fast and break things. You're likely to crash into a few vases either way.

👀 What’s Lurking in the Dark…

However you choose to go through the level, you’ll have to be careful not to get caught by the Justice Crew, who’ll carry you straight to jail! As you stuff your backpack full of treasures, you also become a bigger and easier target. Thankfully, you can hide from them, knock them out, and scramble to escape their grasp.

However, the Justice Crew may not be the only thing that’s lurking around...
