Rob a witch--but keep only one thing, January 16, 2024

This game was entered in the Single Choice Jam.

In it, you play as a robber who has picked the absolutely wrong house to rob--or maybe the absolutely right house.

You've found a witch's home, and there's a lot to grab. But you only have time to pick one item.

What this turns out to be in the end is a series of witty short stories, essentially, with each option giving a page or two of some dramatic development.

Fun overall, but fairly brief.

Robbery Reverie review, September 3, 2023

In Robbery Reverie, you play as a thief who has realized that their target is a witch. The one choice is what to steal—and of course, in a witch’s house, none of the objects are quite as they seem.

The conceit is fun, but the endings are a little uneven; some are funny, some a bit bland. The small potion, for example, was enjoyably chaotic, whereas the amulet felt like a stock fantasy trope without much specific weird detail to liven it up. My favorite was the large potion; the awkward confrontation between the thief and the witch was delightful. The endings I enjoyed I generally wished there were just a little bit more of, and I would happily play a game that expanded more on these characters.
