It's not proper IF -- except for the chapter titles, it doesn't use
language at all -- but, gosh-darn it, "Tiny Thief" /feels/ like
something Infocom might have created. It's been decades since I've
looked forward so to a game sequel.

Why on earth would they offer the game on Steam yet not link to it
from the game website?

I have no idea. But I do know that the Steam version is much more
expensive than the iOS and Android versions. I think it's more suitable
(when discussing "Tiny Thief", I keep wanting to say "funner") in the
handheld form, anyway.

awesome game indeed. Quite short, but a bright new chapter for mobile gaming for sure (I bought it for my android smartphone). worth every cent.

it's a lot more like point-n-click graphical adventures, though. and using the game interface and quirks pioneered by Angry Birds and adopted in far many other mobile games. Hope Rovio keep investing in more games like this...
