Grand Larceny

About

Grand Larceny casts you as a thief hunting for blueprints hidden in a multi level hotel. The game mixes text based exploration with timed action sequences, requiring you to balance puzzle solving with reflexes. Each floor holds secrets and obstacles, from locked doors to patrolling guards. Your choices dictate how fast you can move through the building while avoiding detection. What sets it apart is its hybrid approach to early 80s gaming. While most adventures relied on typing commands, this one adds arcade style urgency. The Commodore 64 version uses color and sound to heighten tension during chase scenes. Players who enjoy blending strategy with quick decisions might find it refreshing. Though dated by todays standards, its tight structure and risk reward gameplay still feel punchy in short sessions.
