The useful part

After thirty years of playing saxophone in basement clubs brought nothing but chronic runny nose and a collection of empty lemonade bottles Falco decided to change his repertoire. Instead of sheet music he began studying blueprints of ventilation shafts and guard shift schedules at the Grand City Vault. They said this balding man in a wrinkled coat could crack any safe simply by humming a melody in B minor.

How it works

  • His accomplice a massive ginger cat called Professor refused to participate in the job unless Falco had a can of premium tuna in his pocket.
  • The police chief a fat man with walrus mustache put a bounty of two hundred gold coins and a lifetime supply of toothpaste on Falco.
  • You must guide the ginger Professor through seven floors of the bank covered in laser threads and singing alarm systems.
  • The reward for success is a mountain of cash and a seat in a secret club where free soup is served on Thursdays.
  • The path leads through marble corridors where floors are polished to a shine with lavender soap through clerk offices smelling of ink and despair through underground tunnels inhabited by critic rats.

What to take from it

You will have to bribe guards with fresh croissants reprogram surveillance cameras using a harmonica and convince Professor not to fall asleep on the alarm button keyboard. The cat will constantly get distracted by dust motes in sunbeams and demand ear scratches at the worst possible moment. Join this insane heist alongside the laziest four legged safecracker in criminal history.

Details worth keeping

The task of our hero is simple to the point of madness yet deadly complex. You need nerves of steel pockets full of fish cans and perfect pitch.
