Motteke Oh! Dorobou (Japan)

Motteke! Oh! Dorobou is a unique puzzle-adventure game on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Players take on the role of a skilled thief tasked with breaking into various buildings, from small houses to majestic castles, to steal valuable items. The gameplay focuses on solving puzzles and using the environment to overcome obstacles such as guards, security cameras (although the technology of that time was quite simple), and dangerous traps.

The game doesn't focus on direct action. Instead, players must use intelligence and dexterity to plan their movements, choose the right time to act, and avoid detection. The use of in-game items also plays an important role, helping players overcome difficult challenges. For example, you can use keys to unlock doors, use pepper spray to stun guards, or use other items to create distractions.

Each level is a unique challenge with a delicately designed environment and multiple solutions. Players need to observe carefully, use logic, and find the optimal path to achieve their goals without being detected. Success depends on the ability to plan and execute the plan accurately. The game features cute 2D graphics and cheerful music, creating a lighthearted yet challenging atmosphere.

In addition to collecting items, players can also search for hidden items to unlock additional content. This adds motivation to explore and replay the game multiple times to discover all the secrets that Motteke! Oh! Dorobou hides.
