Peeping register, fake ordering loiter, tailing waiter — footstep audio, shuriken hit zones (head KO / torso knockback).

Core Countermeasures

  • ▸OFFICIAL (Steam store): During business hours, thieves target cash in the register; respond with shuriken (shipped in the supply crate with kunai). Sudden fires also happen — use the fire extinguisher.
  • ▸Day 1 patch (v0.1.48.17626): Fixed thieves who could not be clicked to chase after stealing and leaving the shop.
  • ▸COMMUNITY (unverified): Players ask for a toggle to disable thieves; Wild Dog has not announced one. Some report thieves after closing hours too.
  • ▸DISGUISE 1 — Register Peep: NPC stands at menu board facing cashier, no order ticket. HUD yellow outline 5s before bell.
  • ▸DISGUISE 2 — Fake Order Loiter: NPC at entrance 8–12s without seating. Footsteps pause every 2s (recon pattern).
  • ▸DISGUISE 3 — Waiter Tail: NPC follows runner within 1.5m for 3s+. Break line-of-sight to register to trigger bell.
  • ▸Footstep pattern: 3 rapid steps (L-R-L) on wood, 2s before register. BGM ≥ 80% helps detection.
  • ▸SHURIKEN ZONES: Head = instant KO + full ¥10,000 bounty. Torso = 2m knockback + 50% cash recovered. Limb = thief escapes.
  • ▸Hold [Space] for aim arc; lead 0.5m ahead on sprint exit. Counter Trap upgrade = 0.3s auto headshot.

Step-by-Step SOP Action

Step 2: Identify disguise type; confirm L-R-L footsteps; draw shuriken.
Step 3: Aim HEAD for bounty; lead 0.5m on sprint; release on RED reticle.
Step 4: Recover cash pouch; log bounty (+¥10,000 with trap upgrade).
✓ Resolved Reward:Full cash protected + ¥10,000 Police Bounty (headshot). Torso hit: 50% cash + ¥5,000 partial bounty.
✕ Failure Penalty:Up to 40% daily cash stolen + -20 Reputation. 3 failures/week spawns Pro Thief (smoke + sprint).
