Summary
In Kaitou Rousseau—sometimes called Rousseau the Thief—I slip into the role of a master pickpocket constantly on the run from the police. The game’s standout gimmick is the ability to redraw my own face on the DS touch screen, letting me morph into whatever the situation demands. Need to disappear in a bustling market? I sketch a young girl and the crowd’s attention shifts away. Spot a plain brick wall? A quick doodle of its pattern lets me blend right into the background, turning the police’s chase into a game of hide‑and‑seek. The whole experience feels like a playful cat‑and‑mouse sketchbook, where every swipe can mean freedom or capture.
Storyline
Kaitou Rousseau, also known as Rousseau the Thief, puts you in the shoes of a crafty burglar on the run from the police. The core of the game is staying one step ahead of the law by constantly changing your appearance.
The DS’s touch screen becomes your disguise workshop: you draw directly onto the screen to reshape the thief’s face and outfit. Every sketch instantly alters how the character blends into the environment, turning a simple doodle into a tactical tool.
For instance, in a bustling crowd you can quickly sketch a girl’s silhouette, fooling officers into thinking you’re a passerby. Or you might copy a wall pattern, letting Rousseau melt into the background and slip past unnoticed.
