Parking Fury 3D: Night Thief is a three-dimensional parking game in the world of Parking Fury. The player must successfully perform tasks related to parking and driving at night to win the game, including theft of vehicles and crashes.
Unlike previous installments that required the player to simply steal a car randomly and park it when prompted by a minimap that displays parking and police hiding spots, Night Thief features a text-based, story format in which a character tells the player what they need to accomplish at every turn. The player can accept a mission, or refuse it, roam and randomly park a bit. They can also hit objects and crash without the game forcing them to start over.
Parking Fury 3D: Night Thief features a chop-shop-style garage in which the player can upgrade to other vehicles that become available over time. Gameplay is harder in some ways. The vehicle must be manually stopped at all times because the system simulates momentum and drift. That said, it otherwise works the same way. If the player aligns their vehicle correctly in a designated parking area, the border of the space confirms their action by changing from white to orange (almost there), blue (correct alignment) and green (confirmation).
