THIEF: The Dark Project
( Released November 30, 1998 )
Thief is a game that takes place in a fictional place called the City, combining the feel of medieval and steam-punk.
The game begins with Garrett, the protagonist, describing his youth as a homeless orphan on the City's streets.
He gets caught attempting to pickpocket a suspicious man who reveals himself to be a Keeper.
Impressed by Garrett's ability to see him, he offers him the chance to join his order.
Garrett accepts and joins the order, but he later leaves the order to pursue a life of thievery.
THIEF II: The Metal Age
( Released February 29, 2000 )
Thief II: The Metal Age continues some time after the events of the first game.
The "Metal Age" has come, and the city has changed with new technology.
Cameras and steam powered robots are brought forth by the Mechanists, the current most powerful religion in the city.
The sheriff (Gorman Truart) rules over the city attempting to clean up the streets of everything, including Garrett,
who wants nothing to do with saving the world.
THIEF: Deadly Shadows (aka Thief III)
( Released May 25, 2004 )
Garrett steals a rare opal from a nobleman's castle.
After getting it, he is contacted by Keeper Artemus to steal two Artifacts;
The Builder's Chalice and the Jacknall's Paw, in exchange for access to the Keeper Prophecies.
After hearing about a coming Dark Age, Garrett reads about a lost book, the Compendium of Reproach,
which supposedly offers information about it.
This new THIEF game is not a prequel or sequel to the original games.
It is a reboot of the franchise with elements of the original.
THIEF is set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Victorian and steampunk.
Garrett is a master thief who has been away from his hometown for a long time, and returns to it.
When he returns to his hometown, a city named 'The City', Garrett finds it ruled over by a tyrant called 'The Baron.'
While The City is infested by a plague, the rich continue to live in good fortune,
and Garrett intends to exploit the situation to his favor.
