ABOUT THIS GAME
Master the delicate craft of locksport in THE ART OF LOCKPICKING, a retro practice-lock simulator that treats tension, lift, and feedback as real systems. Clamp a random bench lock to the vise and work through pins with a hook or rake while the tension wrench in Q/E controls torque. Every pin has a target depth, a binding order, and a tolerance. Too much torque seizes the stack; too little and nothing binds. Three practice modes — Educational, Arcade, and Hardcore — test you from cutaway guidance to pure feel-and-sound. Practice only on locks you own or have clear permission to pick.
KEY FEATURES
Realistic Pin Mechanics
Every pin has a target lift, spring rate, binding rank, and tolerance. Pins count as loose, binding, set, and overset — every state changes feel and strategy.

Hook and Rake Tools
Toggle between a single-pin hook and a sweeping rake with Tab. The hook is precise; the rake is fast and can overset a stack.

Ethically Framed
The game begins with a consent prompt: practice only on locks you own or have clear permission to pick. Abstract bench locks, not real target doors.
