The Marvellous Miss Take
It’s not a perfect game, with possibly buggy AI and a steep learning curve, but it is definitely fun and has the one-more-go feel to it.

The gameplay is characterized by standard stealth mechanics with a unique twist, as guards move randomly, adding unpredictability and requiring players to adapt their strategies on the fly. While the controls are simple and intuitive, relying primarily on mouse movements, the experience can be both thrilling and stressful, with some players finding it repetitive or boring. Overall, the game features clever level design, appealing visuals, and a great soundtrack, making it an entertaining yet challenging stealth experience.
“Using your trusted mouse, you will steal various art pieces while going through pretty standard stealth gameplay: hide, distract, learn patterns, and such, but with a slight twist: the guards move randomly.”
“The style is classy, the music is groovy, and the gameplay is very fluid and entertaining.”
“The gameplay is easy to learn; use the mouse to move Sophia and... that's it.”
“Could be better if the guards patrolled in patterns instead of moving about randomly, as the random element leaves a lot of the gameplay to chance.”
“I will say reasonable price, I bought it on sale so can't complain too much, I like the concept and visuals, just wish the gameplay wasn't such a stress-inducing experience; the music and style seem like they should've been fairly relaxing.”

The Marvellous Miss Take on PC turns out to be a game that is a lot better than might first be expected. With its varied characters and a great level design that does a good job of supporting the random element of the guards' movement, and use of three widely different characters, it shines brightly, and is a refreshing release in the genre. Well worth a go for fans of stealth games.
