Pilfer: Story of Light is a 3D platforming adventure featuring the titular Pilfer, a raccoon that must save the forest from Darkness. Complete course-based levels in 13 different worlds and collect Lanterns to repel the Darkness. Each level features it's own set of themed mechanics to challenge the player, ensuring that no two levels play the same. A love-letter to Wii-Era 3D platformers, Pilfer wraps this 3D platforming package in a storybook aesthetic with a story with themes of family.
While Pilfer: Story of Light features linear levels, Pilfer's moveset encourages players to move expressively through levels. Best time tracking and an in-game timer encourages speedrunning. But if players don't want to engage with these features, that's fine too! Levels in Pilfer are built with newcomers and veterans to 3D platformers alike, with an obvious main path and shortcuts for the more eagle-eyed.
