The Professional

About The Professional: A Jewel Thief Simulation with Unusual Controls

The Professional is a free simulation game built around one deceptively simple premise: rob a bank and a museum by leading a jewel thief through a gauntlet of obstacles. The target is a huge diamond, and the path to it is anything but straightforward. The game pairs clean 3D graphics with a control system so unconventional it turns every step into a small comedy of errors — and then dares you to beat your own time with a built-in timer.

Several scenes show a figure in a black full-body suit and mask moving through a hall lined with red carpets and white fluted columns. Three horizontal red light beams extend from black wall-mounted fixtures in those same views. A brown wooden crate sits on the red carpeted floor in one such scene.

The combination of a demanding obstacle course and the deliberately awkward joint-by-joint movement system earns The Professional its reputation as a terribly difficult game — one aimed squarely at players who enjoy a genuine challenge.

How to Play The Professional: Steal the Diamond One Joint at a Time

The goal is to steal a huge diamond, and the path there runs through roadblocks and laser electric beams. What sets The Professional apart is that movement is never automatic: a specific body part or joint is selected at a time, then moved by dragging it. One arm or one leg shifts per action, producing the kind of funny, awkward situations that make the game equally frustrating and exciting.

Guiding the thief past blocking objects and around laser traps demands precision with every drag. A timer tracks each run, and the ongoing challenge is to complete the heist in an even shorter time than before.
