The Fest of a summer gameI tried one of the more stylish, relaxing games that made me want to have friends on the couch. But instead of co-op-adventure, Snap & Grab, as it is called, is the title of Hestics, where players take over the role of a photo-journalist of fashion, which steals Gaudi's treasures from the rich tofits to fill her penthouse.
Snap & Grab is the debut title for Studio Non Goblin, which held its demo in the closed door of the publisher Annapurna interactive at the annual game Festival. I found myself in the area of Annapurna and woke up in the 80s of the last century-large TVs with wood, boombox and CDs Ahoi-Ahoi corresponds to Snap & Grab vibrations.
Raising the demo on a computer, I was flooded in the world of the game, a pop of pop and glam vibration, how to play in Madonna's music video of the era. I have stepped into the high heels of the game's heroine (or antihero, depending on whether you think stealing ultra-rich cramps is a crime) Nifi Nevada, which uses its daily work as a celebrity photo journalist to scan homes of the best ways for the best ways of best ways for the best ways of best ways for the best ways to best The best ways to the best ways for the best ways.
The beautiful corner of the game? Nifti does not steal objects alone. To preserve the credible danger, she is photographing the obstacles that stand between her team of miniatures and the work of art to steal. Look at the guard? Photograph the sink to spill your minion so that the guard slips and ejects. Take a look at the rich DOOFUS about art? Photograph the record holder to stop the music in another room as a deterrent.
“Great inspirations for the game were Hitman to meet Pokémon Snape, with that talent of Carmen San Diego, a woman from Badas,” said Session Castillo, a Goblin -level artist and artist who led me through Demo.
The full Snap & Grab has five stages of play, only one of which was available in demo, but each of them has reasons to reproduce. Instead of puzzles with one solution, they are sandy boxes in more ways to get the miniatures of Nifti to take advantage of its reward. Castillo has confirmed that there are a dozen different heists (theft items) at a level that identifies players in the game, but more things can be stolen if they want, plus challenges with photos and new teams to add them to your Heist team. There is also a system of progression that, as you steal objects, will be able to unlock the capabilities.
“Nifty will have the opportunity to throw a warm dog pretty far at some point,” Castillo said. (I can't even imagine how it will help you.)
One of the artistic goals of the game is a huge key that you can steal in the center of the dance floor.
In Demo, I found a route to steal the work of art (a nasty gem-ferro skull), but Castillo noted that the others who tried the game in the SGF had brought several friends to try them out and they had an explosion to highlight all the alternative corners of their heist.
“We had a group that was just collaborating with chaos, like” Snap That, use it to distract this friend, use this to throw out that man, you can use the lights to melt the statue, “Castillo said.”
But there are other reasons to reproduce levels, as too expensive artworks are just some of the items you can steal for your collection.
“In future levels, maybe it's, hey, this penguin looks really sad in his aquarium and he's a super duplant talented. He actually knows how to paint. Let's take him home,” Castillo said.
Once you are photographed in order, an Intel screen will appear, giving hints on how players can pull it out.
Later in the demo, I spent a group of dogs korgi that I could use as a deterrent during Heist and Castillo confirmed that they could be smuggled home at Penthouse at Nifts.
From the theft of Gaudi art to a neglected pets, Snap & Grab is satire that rigged the habits of wealthy spirits and their guests to Vapid Party. Developers without goblin are quite aware of classes, said Castillo-Historical artifacts are ignored to take things rich more. And the theft of something can even impress someone else in the life of Nifti: the detective that follows and builds a case against it. Maybe… something more romantic for exciting?
“Maybe,” Castillo hinted. (That's by choice.)
There is a lot of individuality to attract and grab, from placing glam in the 1980s to the mechanics to humor. With more ways to play and without a state for failure – you continue to take pictures until you find a running route – the game is a cold sandy vessel with a person to spare.
Any photograph of an obstacle can be put on a timeline plan to plan your heist.
“It is definitely for people who are interested in puzzle research, people who enjoy being finished like me,” Castillo said. “I would also say it's for people who are in strange and bad humor.
The game is emphasized non -violent, with more slap and unusual humor than anything. When I asked him what was their favorite, Castillo noted that if you go painting the toilet, the game will mention that something lives in it. “That's all me,” they said.
“Go go to the record and I will say it is for the unusual,” Castillo said.
Snap & Grab appears for a computer, PS5 and Xbox in 2026.
