## About Thief

Thief is a 2014 action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montréal that casts players as master thief Garrett navigating a dark, steampunk-influenced city. The gameplay centers on environmental exploration, non-combat approaches, objective finding, stealth precision, and tool upgrades that enhance sneaking without undermining the challenge. Players describe the gothic atmosphere as oppressive and immersive, and report that levels hide secrets for keen-eyed explorers while silence and stealth matter far more than combat. The game runs in approximately medium length as a solo-only experience and is marked as playable on Steam Deck. Reviews for Thief stand at 68% positive out of 7,433 Steam reviews.
