Countdown is on until 2022 release of Midnight Girl

Adventure gamers are good at stealing things. How else can you end up with an inventory full of purloined items required to solve puzzles? Most games justify this sticky-fingeredness as a matter of necessity, but indie developer Italic's upcoming heist adventure Midnight Girl dispenses with any such pretense. 

Players control Monique, a "tomboy" in her late teens who "enjoys life as a cat burglar" in the City of Lights in the mid-1960s, until it all seemingly ends when she is caught and "ends up in jail after a heist gone wrong." As fate would have it, however, there she meets an "enigmatic prisoner and fellow thief [who] knows of a precious diamond stored in a secret underground vault in the heart of Paris." Unable to resist the challenge (or the reward), the two bandits conspire to join forces when they get out, combining their skills to steal the valuable gem together. 

Presented in a slick side-scrolling fashion, Midnight Girl is heavily inspired by "Belgian comics and heist films from the sixties," as well as the city of Paris itself. Player will covertly venture through "a Catholic monastery, a Parisian metro station and the Catacombs," among other locations in pursuit of the diamond. Though the focus here is primarily on "story and atmosphere" rather than challenging gameplay, the experience promises a mix of "stealth, discovery and puzzle solving" along the way, and "fans of classic point-and-click adventures will feel right at home in this wacky universe, where puzzles often require unconventional solutions."

There is no firm target release date just yet, but Midnight Girl is due to sneak onto Steam sometime next year for Windows PC, along with mobile devices and as-yet-unannounced consoles. In the meantime, would-be prowlers can follow the game's progress through its official website.
