This mission is pretty standard fare, but a nice little 15-minute diversion.

Garrett has to infiltrate an evil Lord's mansion to recover a kidnapped baby; the reward is all the gold lying around the place as well as the ransom money, if you can find it. That's a fairly credible premise for a mansion heist and the map, though small, has enough...

I liked the city streets with several upstairs apartments you can clamber up to and loot. This is always a nice touch that makes the City feel lived in and gives the player a reward for exploring.

The architecture is unfortunately weirdly oversized, making me and the watchmen seem like little hobbitses walking around a human town.

I though...

This is a tiny but cool mission based on Edgar Allen Poe's famous story. While a terrible plague ravages the City, Prince Prospero and some of his noble friends have holed themselves up and have organised a masquerade ball while they wait for the sickness to run its course. Garrett sneaks wearing a thief masquerade costume and commences looting....

This mission was released in a rush to meet the TDM 15th Anniversary contest deadline, and is clearly still somewhat unfinished. It's very short- with just two or three City alleys and a small but cool underground section- there is only one AI in the whole mission, and the last few rooms are disappointingly empty.

Nonetheless there's a few t...

The basic idea and setup are more than passable, and the mission evokes a nice creepy atmosphere. For being a 48h challenge I can overlook flat lighting and mismatched textures, and I usually really like puzzle-oriented missions like this. With a bit more polish it could have been quite effective.

Where this mission falls flat on its face tho...

In the Mage Towers, Garrett has to infiltrate a keep run by a mysterious, reclusive school of mages to steal their Talisman. It's one of the bigger missions of the game and can be tricky to navigate until you figure out how it works. It is mostly logically set out, with four towers dedicated to the study of one of the elements surrounding a keep...

This is an unusual mission but a lot of fun to play. Beginning with the recovery of a precious jewel you stashed away, you then travel through empty city streets, a plague-ridden inn undergoing fumigation, and finally into a huge casino full of loot to be stolen. And what began as a simple cash grab soon turns into a captivating investigation an...

This mission is very small and pretty boring. It contains two rooms, an outdoor section, and a handful of guards and the whole point is basically just to wait until the guards turn around on the spot so you can steal the loot while their backs are turned. It's pretty lame and dull.

I'm surprised how much fun I had with this. It's just a simple, crude and unpolished mansion heist. The mansion itself itself is just a box, full of boxy rectangular rooms. Sound propagation is so-so, and there are numerous instances of misaligned textures, CSG fails, and bad proportions. And much of the mission has been blatantly copied from Lo...

This would have been a solid 5 or 6, not bad for such an old mission, if not for the bewildering decisions to have entire rooms of pitch blackness. Black shadowy patches here and there are fine, but a whole cluttered labyrinth with absolutely no way to see where you're going is just obnoxious.

This mission exists basically just to torture everyone's least favourite servant. You know, the little dipstick with the dumb leggings and annoying dark red hood and the kind of whiny voice that just begs for a punch in the teeth. But this was too much even for me.

Especially when I didn't realise what Mr Oh Dear was scattering around, and t...

The Haunted Cathedral is definitely among the best missions Thief has to offer. Sent to recover a precious artefact from an abandoned Hammerite cathedral, Garrett has to make his way across burned-out and zombie-infested streets to reach his goal. It's eerie, creepy, and intense- you'll never feel quite at ease at any point, in a good way.

Th...

I really enjoyed this one. It's a nice, creepy little mission with plenty to steal, a mystery to solve, and it doesn't drag on too long. The author has a real eye for lights- some of the volumetric rays are just amazing. The readables were effective too. Just enough to give some flavour to the mission while still leaving an air of mystery and no...

* Subtitles are now available for everything including all the AI barks
* Performance is even better, thanks largely to improvements in how lighting is calculated
* New models and a...
