Strategist

Two specialists. One carefully timed plan.

Strategist is a single-player heist puzzle game about routes, timing and coordination. Work out your approach on white-on-blue architectural plans, then send Rook and Wren into a furnished 3D scene to carry it out.

Plan every step

Study patrol routes, camera coverage and security schedules. Give each crew member a route, place their actions on the timeline, and drag the edge of a wait to get the timing right. Move through your planned timeline to inspect where everyone will be.

Put the plan into motion

Rook handles the technical work. Wren takes the target. Their actions need to fit together: create an opening, get the job done, and bring both crew members out. If security catches you, return to your plan, revise it and try again.

Fifty heists. Five changing worlds.

Begin among the warm shops of the Old Quarter. Move through the industrial Docks, the elegant Heights, the Civic Quarter and the colder facilities of Northstar. Each chapter introduces new complications and builds toward more demanding combinations.

• 50 handcrafted levels across five chapters.
  
• Two crew members with distinct jobs, coordinated on a shared timeline.
  
• Patrols, cameras, timed lasers, keycards, pressure floors, motion detectors, microphones and sweeping scanners.
  
• Editable routes, adjustable waits, undo and saved plans.
  
• An interactive tutorial and optional hints; cleared levels record hint use.
  
• Low-poly 3D environments and a physical blueprint planning room.

Everything you need to solve a puzzle is available from the start. There are no equipment purchases or upgrade grind. The challenge is finding a plan that works.
