You play a lone thief in a city full of internal strife, powerful forces that tear it apart and greedy man with influence and wealth that try to slice a big chunk for them self. And because of this, there are all sorts of men and creatures that are there to protect their master's interests. And if there is one unifying factor with them, is that they all hate thieves. and especially one named Garrett. At a time of it's inception, gaming was evolving at an increased rate, and nothing proves this more than this game. It was a game that did the opposite of most other games: it challenged you to do what you had to do without being seen, ideally without killing anyone. For this, you weren't well armed either - a blackjack and a sword for close encounters, a bow that had limited arrows that were mostly useful only when you were concealed, and a pair of lock-picks. That was basically all you needed, too, for the shadows were your one true weapon. Hide in it's embrace and they will protect you better than any armor or weapon. Hopping from shadow to shadow, you must slowly reach your objectives. On your way, you can swipe any loot you find, for you are a thief after all. But I hear you say: "I don't want to play as a criminal, I want to play as a valiant knight." Well, in a city like this, a thief is about the most honest man you can find. In short, this game is a classic, go own it you taffer!
