The City is a gothic-industrial labyrinth under the control of a Baron whose cruelty has driven its people into poverty and plague. Garrett has no interest in politics. He is a master thief, and everything the wealthy own is an invitation. When a job goes wrong and he wakes up a year later with no memory of what happened, the City's problems become unavoidably his.

Thief is a first-person stealth game and a reboot of the Looking Glass Studios series, developed by Eidos Montréal. Garrett navigates The City through a hub structure that connects chapter missions with optional side jobs and client contracts available between story beats. His tools include a claw for swinging and climbing, water arrows for extinguishing light sources, blunt arrows for creating distractions and a selection of specialised arrows for specific situations. A light gem on the HUD indicates Garrett's visibility at any moment. Focus mode is a limited-use ability that can slow time, enhance pickpocketing or amplify combat. The custom difficulty system allows granular control over which mechanics are active, from the presence of the Focus mode to whether kills count against a score. The City itself is a semi-open hub navigable between objectives with collectibles, safes and client missions populating its districts.
