About Thief: Deadly Shadows

✦ AI summary

Slip into the shadows as master thief Garrett, using stealth, lockpicks, and cunning to infiltrate the wealthy estates and corrupt streets of a dark fantasy city. Cutting-edge AI guards and dynamic lighting create an unparalleled stealth experience where every heist feels like a real infiltration and your choices determine your reputation.

You are Garrett, the master thief. Rarely seen and never caught, Garrett is the best that ever was. Able to sneak past any guard, pick any lock, and break into the most ingeniously secured residences. Garrett steals from the wealthy and gives to himself, making his living in the dark and foreboding City. Here crime and corruption are commonplace, wealthy nobles prey on the poor and each other, and magic and machinery coexist uneasily. World weary and cynical, Garrett wants nothing more than to be left alone to ply his trade. But things never work out that way.
  • Cutting-edge Action Stealth Gameplay - Hide in the shadows, sneak past the guards, or ambush them from the darkness!
  • Huge Arsenal of Thieves' Tools - Including lock picks, a blackjack, arrows, wall climbing gloves, oil flasks, flash bombs, and a dagger.
  • An Entire City to Explore - Break into any building, mug nobles on the streets, spend your loot, and earn a reputation. Feel like a real thief in a cityscape of unparalleled responsiveness and interactivity.
  • Advanced Artificial Intelligence - AI guards that see and hear, track evidence and suspiciousness, search for intruders, fight, give chase, and perform lip synching, facial expressions, and hundreds of lines of real-time dialog.
  • Dynamic Lighting and Shadow System - Every character and object casts realistic, dynamic shadows that effect stealth gameplay.

The game is too old for modern computers. The controls do not function like climbing ladders and picking locks. That makes it unplayeable. It took help from the online computer just to get the mouse to work. I played these games for 100's of hours back in the day (the 90's, really?). I somehow missed this one, but, alas, it is not meant to be. Had to refund it after an hour of frustration.

An over ambitious game that wanted it all and ended up screwing up both first person and 3rd person. Despite having terrible movement, this game somehow manages to be still really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ good due to its fantastic level design, unique ideas, and the still solid as ever writing. Fantastic game. I am also really glad that it went back to the horror elements of Gold. That was really cool. 8/10

A brilliant game that is still decades ahead of its time. However, its so clunky and annoying and kinda glitchy its just hard to enjoy. I honestly think if this released today with only quality of life improvements it would go gangbusters.

The story of this game is still one of the best amongst all video games. A remake of this game would probably be very successful.
Not recommended Jun 24, 2026
Game seems really promising and cool. Couldn't get past the tutorial due to a bug with the lockpicking. Tried it with vsync on and off, but not luck. Apparently there is a community patch to fix it, but I didn't want to deal with all that.
