About American Theft 80s: Prologue
Check out some of Jack's first jobs in this prologue before playing the full game.
From the creators of Thief Simulator.
Every house can be robbed. Just get the right tools and wait for the right time!
Meet interesting characters doing shady jobs.
KEY FEATURES IN THE PROLOGUE:
- explore the first small town from the American Theft 80s
- steal from houses, trailers or gas stations
- finish the first heist
- use the available tools: hammer and crowbar, to break in
- finish shady jobs for shady characters
- disguise yourself as an electrician to fool tenants
If you see a house, shop or a gas station, you can get inside, but learn about the tenants first. You don't want to get caught.
Remember VHS, cassette players, and CRT TVs? No? Well, now you can get to know them! The tenants will surely share them with you, albeit not knowingly.
Earn cash and reputation in the underground world filled with corruption and crime.
Sometimes the only thing you can do is get in the car and drive as fast as possible. But be careful! The cops are not playing around and will chase after you.
Make sure to bribe the police to avoid being wanted.

American Theft 80s: Prologue takes the stealth and crime-focused ideas familiar to fans of simulator games and places them inside a setting heavily inspired by the culture and technology of the 1980s. Instead of creating a fast-paced action experience centered around dramatic shootouts or large-scale criminal operations, the game focuses on the slower and more deliberate process of becoming a successful thief. Players step into the role of Jack, a small-time criminal trying to survive and make money in a world filled with opportunities hidden behind locked doors and distracted homeowners. As a prologue, the game acts as an introduction to its larger mechanics while offering a solid look at the atmosphere and systems that shape the complete experience. One of the game's strongest qualities is how it approaches theft as an activity that depends on planning and patience rather than reckless action. Success is not achieved by rushing into houses and taking whatever is available. Players are encouraged to observe routines, study their surroundings, and wait for the right opportunity before making a move. Timing becomes important because entering a property at the wrong moment can quick…2 found this helpful
Really fun and enjoyable. It’s simple, smooth, and entertaining, with great gameplay and good vibes all around. Addictive and satisfying, I keep coming back for more. Overall, a solid game that’s fun, relaxing, and has just the right amount of challenge.2 found this helpful
From the Demo, it looks promising! However, it seems I got soft locked on the "I wanna Rock" mission. The only way to climb the building, is to use a DIY lockpick on the fence door, which I can't buy from the pawn shop, nor make it myself. I researched online, found a youtube vid, and in the vid the guy is climbing the side fence and then climbing the shop. However, in my version, that side fence has barbed wire all around and is unclimbable, and the fence door needs a lockpick...so yeah, kinda' soft locked on this one :/
Wonderful game,hope make a sequel and prequel...this is the father of thief simulator and crime simulator...awesome game,ended too soon.
