Imagine it is 2099 and the Transatlantic Returns Treaty is falling apart as Western museums find ways to wriggle out of promises to return stolen African treasures.

Fed up with the trickery, artefacts expert Prof Grace decides to take matters into her own hands. And the South African knows the perfect people to help: her grandchildren, Nomali and Trevor and her former student Etienne.

In an abandoned warehouse in Johannesburg, Prof Grace sets out her high-stakes plan - to break into museums and private collections and take back artefacts mostly plundered during colonial times.

None of this is real - rather it is the narrative of Relooted, what its creators call an "African-futurist heist game", released on Tuesday.

But it's a heist story with a difference - there's no big pay day at the end of the heist and the characters don't have a criminal background.
