Stolen is a 2005 stealth video game developed by British developer Blue52 and published by Hip Games for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Microsoft Windows.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It was the final game to be developed by Blue52, with the company shuttering during development and its members moving to what would later become Curve Games.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Gameplay

Stolen is a stealth game in which the protagonist Anya has several hi-tech gadgets to assist her in her cat burglar escapades, including night vision goggles and a multi-use dart gun. Because of her personal moral criminal code, Anya has no lethal arms at her disposal and the player cannot kill any of the guards and other enemies she encounters, but can only knock them unconscious for a brief moment. Anya is assisted by the computer expert Louie Palmer, who communicates with her through an earpiece. The GameSpot review noted the game's "Prince of Persia-inspired feats," but opined "the only difficult part about Stolen is finding the patience to actually remain hidden when it's easier to just charge through the levels."<ref name="gamespot">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Plot

The player assumes the role of Anya Romanov, an acrobatic, high-tech professional thief living in the futuristic dark metropolis Forge City, (USA). Her initial mission is to infiltrate a high-security museum and steal items therein. Later on, Anya is framed for murder she did not commit. Eventually, she finds out about a sinister conspiracy involving a ruthless corrupt politician Richard Killian and her own deadly female ninja rival known only as Breeze.

Reception
