About Filcher
It's been a year since Sporey left the Blackburn Gang to make her fortune as a freelance thief. But when her former fence and mentor tracks her down, Sporey is forced back into servitude to settle an old debt. A temporary setback, she thinks. But these days, honour among thieves is wearing thin. Which of her old comrades can Sporey trust?
Filcher is a first-person 2.5D noir stealth game, a lo-fi loveletter to classic immersive sims like Thief and Deus Ex.

FEATURES
- Immersive first-person stealth: Use cover and shadows to stay unseen, tread carefully to stay unheard, and use your eyes and ears to detect enemies, loot and secrets.
- Explore nine lovingly hand-crafted levels, each packed with loot to steal, enemies to outsmart, security systems to bypass, documents to read and secrets to uncover.
- Use your tools to solve problems in creative ways. They include a trusty blackjack, a sleep-dart gun, lockpicks, flashbangs and noisemaking windup toys.
- An intriguing story told through snippets of dialogue, in-game readables, mission briefings and comic book-style cutscenes.
- A score system that rewards stealth and exploration. Replay missions in sneakier ways to earn higher ranks. The ultimate rank, "Ghost", requires you to find all loot and secrets without being detected, knocking out any guards or loading a mid-mission save.

I love the Thief games, but honestly based on the first level of this game it feels like a much crappier imitation. Maybe future levels after the first are better, but it's just way too circumstantial whether or not you get caught by a guard to be fun. And even though mid-mission saves were added, you get a score penalty if you use them. Not even the original Thief had the gall to do that.4 found this helpful
The core essentials of Thief done great, nothing more, nothing less.
A great mix of Thief and Noir stories. The artstyle is immaculate, and it changes the gameplay formula enough to be it's own thing, especially with the sliding mechanic. An underrated gem, which you should grab (hehehehe).
The save system update made all the difference for me. It allowed me to play in the way that I played the Thief games. A fun experience throughout, so glad I picked this one up. Well done, MythoLogic.
great game cant imagen playing without the saving feature but it too over powered i wish it was more balanced
A Thief-alike with strong visual design, excellent audio presence, and puzzle like scenarios that are a joy to solve. Levels are smaller than in Thief which is a strength and a weakness; as well as the lack of jump/mantle and no rope arrows! Distinctly it's own game, and distinctly an homage to Thief.
