The Marvellous Miss Take

About

The Marvellous Miss Take is a stealth-driven heist game where you play as Sophia Take, a would-be cat burglar on a mission to reclaim stolen art. Instead of brute force, you rely on timing, misdirection, and clever distractions to bypass guards, evade cameras, and navigate security systems. Each level requires careful planning and quick reflexes, tripping a sensor or drawing a guard’s attention the wrong way means certain detection. The lack of combat forces you to think creatively, using the environment and NPC behavior to stay undetected. What sets it apart is the unpredictable patrol patterns of guards, which shift in real-time, and the emphasis on non-lethal problem-solving. Players must balance multiple objectives while racing against the clock, making each escape feel tense and rewarding. Though not a commercial blockbuster, it earned praise for its inventive take on stealth mechanics, with critics highlighting its tight level design and whimsical tone. A niche pick for fans of brainy, break-and-enter challenges.

Storyline

Hold the front page: a once magnificent art collection left behind by a kindly benefactor has been unscrupulously poached and split up among private collectors around London! Enter Sophia Take, the rightful heir to the misappropriated masterpieces and, now, a would-be cat burglar to boot! To reclaim her inheritance, players must help Sophia embark on an exciting and daring heist adventure packed with fast-paced thieving action. Armed only with a talent for misdirection and the friendship of two like-minded portrait purloiners, she sets out to steal back what was once hers… Packed with thought-proving dilemmas and high-security measures, The Marvellous Miss Take turns the stealth genre on its head by using organised chaos to keep players on their toes. Successfully pilfering portraits isn’t as easy as it may seem: wandering guards decide their patrol routes on the fly, security cameras keep watch over everything and even innocent gallery goers just visiting to admire the art might raise the alarm if they see something suspicious. Only by using quick wits and even quicker reflexes can players hope to grab the loot and escape unseen – there’s no option for violence and the clock ticking!
