What is Steal Dandy
Put on your stealthiest shoes—the Dandy painting isn't going to steal itself. Each level is a new puzzle of shadows and timing.
How to Play
Use arrow keys or WASD to move, and press the spacebar to interact or hide. Study guard patterns and move only when the coast is clear to avoid detection.
Tips for Playing
- Wait for the guard to pass a corner before you dash across open areas.
- Use hiding spots like under tables or behind curtains to break line of sight.
- Memorize the timing of security lasers to find the safe window to slip through.
- Look for objects you can push or activate to temporarily distract guards or disable traps.
- If you're spotted, don't panic—retreat to a safe spot and wait for the heat to die down.
