4.5/5

Pursuing a career as a high-class thief is something many people considered after watching Ocean’s 11 and The Italian Job. After all, your daily routine would involve car chases, disguises, and pretty girls that are attracted by your childish refusal to get a proper job instead. It’s a foolproof decision, but maybe you should try a computer simulation before jumping into the actual thing, just to see if you resonate with it.

Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist is a game designed by William Pugh’s new studio. In case you are not familiar with William Pugh, then you should know that he is the one responsible for The Stanley Parable, the game that attracted so much positive attention from the media and the gaming community alike. Hence, if you are familiar with his first game, then this one shouldn’t take you by surprise anymore. Probably.

Everything you need to know about the plot is right in the game’s name, but the actual gameplay is a whole different story. The creators have managed to refine a unique and very effective brand of humor, much like it was the case with The Stanley Parable. As such, the heist is definitely happening, but you’ll be too busy pulling levers, pressing the wrong buttons and releasing hungry tigers to actively participate in the action.

The level design is top notch, especially if you enjoy searching for hidden gags and messing with coffee mugs. There are plenty of post-it notes that can be collected for no reason, various schematics you can read but not understand, as well as weird posters to look at. You can interact with most items in a limp manner, as well as affect the commentary with your actions. However, the story is definitely linear, and you cannot change its outcome in any way.

Yet again, the voice acting is phenomenal. Every line is delivered superbly, and it really makes the atmosphere that much more enjoyable. The narrator reacts to your behavior throughout the game, especially if you decide to touch something you shouldn’t, and it’s hilarious to hear him complain about it. Still, this is more of a short demo than an actual game, given the tiny amounts of content, but at least you don’t have to pay for it.

The developers achieved their goal, namely to make a bit of fuss about their upcoming game. Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist is a brilliant piece of comedy, and if you enjoyed The Stanley Parable, this one is definitely worthy of a shot as well.
