There is a rising tide of fear in The City. Hatred saturates every stone and whilst the rich prosper, the less fortunate face misery and repression. Ravaged with sickness and famine, they wait for something to change. Into this shadowy world steps Garrett, THE Master Thief in 'Thief', a reinvention of a franchise that helped define an entire genre of games which is being developed by Edios Montreal. This first-person, stealth, adventure features intelligent design that allows players to take full control, with open sandbox missions/levels that allow players the freedom to choose their path through the game's levels and how they approach and overcome each challenge.
