Thief: The Dark Project is a 1998 first-person stealth game, and the first of the Thief series. It was designed by Looking Glass Studios and published by Eidos Interactive.It begins with Garrett as a young street urchin being found by an organization called the Keepers, who taught him in the ways of stealth and balance before he left the organization to pursue a career as thief. He soon finds himself entangled in a conflict between the forces of order and chaos.The following year, Thief Gold was released, adding three new levels and a host of bugfixes.Along with Metal Gear Solid (released the same year), it is regarded as one of the first video games to pioneer the modern stealth genre. It was also among the earliest codifiers of the Immersive Sim genre. See Dishonored for the Spiritual Successor lead by Harvey Smith. | |

Break the Badass | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_18262b13 | comment |
Break the Badass: The cutscene of The Trickster revealing himself and Garrett getting his eye torn off stands out as being the only time you ever see the normally unshakable Garrett being visibly terrified. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: The way you finally escape from the Haunted Cathedral is by taking the explosive charge from the attic and using a fire arrow to blow it up near the (locked) back door to blast it open. This can be made impossible, but it requires you to intentionally try. The game provides several fire arrows in the attic along with the charge in case you're out, but you can pick these up and waste them if you really want to be stuck. The game very explicitly tells you to set off the charge in front of the door, but you can blow it up anywhere in the level, and there's only one charge that doesn't respawn, meaning if you blow it up elsewhere you're screwed. | |

The Order | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_1c169242 | comment |
The Order: The Hammerites, a group of anti-Pagan, anti-nature, intensely conservative Church Militants that Garrett runs into on occasion. However, they're not as much of a problem in this game as an offshoot of theirs is in the sequel. Garrett even temporarily allies with the Hammerites to help them thwart the Big Bad and his plan. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: After every mission, all of Garrett's inventory is cleared and any loot you obtained can be used to buy new gear to encourage not hoarding equipment. (Even any leftover loot will not carry over between missions. An example occurs in the mission "Escape!" where Garrett can find his purse, (in different locations depending on difficulty) in the original version, it contains 275 Gold regardless of how much loot the player acquired in the previous mission (as this mission doesn't have a shop at the start of it) while in Thief Gold this purse instead contains the exact amount of loot the player obtained in the past mission. | |

Key Confusion | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_282a22cc | comment |
Key Confusion: When confronted with a locked door, Garret does not automatically pick the right key, even if he has it on him; the player has to manually select the key he wants Garret to use. This can become quite a problem if Garret has multiple keys on him and the player doesn't know which one fits what door. Since the trial-and-error of testing each key takes place in real time, it can build quite a bit of tension, when you are desperately seeking for the right key while the guards are closing in on your position. | |

Bow and Sword in Accord: Garrett carries both a bow and a sword, though the bow sees more use for delivery mechanism for Trick Arrows than killing people, and the sword is a last-resort weapon, not his primary. If the player is very good, they will never use the sword. | |

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: "Song of the Caverns" seems to go by blindingly fast, with the player reaching the Water Talisman shrine after passing through just a couple of caves... Then it turns out someone else got to the Talisman before you, and the rest of the level is dedicated to searching the large Opera House for it. | |

Blending-In Stealth Gameplay | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_458432e | comment |
Blending-In Stealth Gameplay: In one mid-game mission, Garrett has acquired the garb of a novice in the Order of the Hammer and uses it to infiltrate one of their secured temples. As novices take an oath of silence, no one there will ask him to speak and provided he isn't caught anywhere he isn't supposed to be, no one will challenge his presence. The challenge lies in stealing right out from under the Hammerites' noses. Fulfilling your primary objective will unavoidably sound an alarm throughout the temple, which blows Garrett's cover. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: A rather clever one at the very end of the game's final cutscene. (Quoted in the Refusal of the Call entry.) Combined with some of the imagery present there, it also doubles as a Title Drop, since the final words are "The Metal Age" - part of the sequel's title. Thankfully, this is one sequel hook didn't go to waste. The sequel was published in early 2000. | |

Bizarrchitecture | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_67fedd35 | comment |
Bizarrchitecture: Constantine's mansion in the mission "The Sword". The first floor and forward area of the mansion appears normal but the further you go, the more weird it gets. Some examples: In the Gold version, there's the Brobdignag section. (There is a Lilliputian section as well.) Large sections of the upper floors are rotated so that, e.g. the ceiling looks like a floor and vice versa, including having upside-down or sideways furniture. In the greenhouses, search the ceilings until you find the section that is actually water. You can climb up through it into a tub of water in the room above. In the deepest part of the mansion, weird twisting tile hallways and perspective-warped corridors are interwoven with mossy green tunnels going straight through the structure. At this point, the thought may strike that the architect is just screwing with you. And he is - it's all a test. When you visit the mansion, it's possible to encounter a doorway opening on what appears to be outer space, with distant and apparently unreachable fragments of mansion hovering in the starry void. | |

Marathon Level | |

Marathon Level: The "Thieves' Guild" level. First there's the restaurant, then the casino, then the sewer passage to Reuben's place, then... you get the picture. Oh man, the Mage Towers. Even if you've done it before and know where everything is, it will likely take over an hour to beat even on normal. (For reference, the entire first game takes about 6-7 hours to beat, meaning this level alone will take about 1/6 of your total playtime.) | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: "The Mage Towers", specifically, each of the elemental towers is locked and is said to have the key of another one of the towers inside it. So how do you get into a tower in the first place? The lock on the door for the water tower is broken. The only way you would know that (other than looking it up) is if you searched everywhere else in the level in vain for a key before finally deciding to look at the towers themselves in case there was some other way in. To be fair, there is a note claiming the water tower has been closed down due to flooding, but inferring that to mean the lock is broken seems like a pretty big logical leap, especially since they use the word "closed", which seems to be saying just the opposite (it's more securely locked down than the others and there's no way in) | |

The Maw Of Chaos for sure. It's not clear whether it's Another Dimension or just deep underground, but either way it includes such mindfuckery as a waterfall that "falls" up, and upside-down body of water, an ice slick right next to a lava pool, and, at a few points some floating "pods" with newly created monsters that get sent through portals (presumably to the surface world). | |

| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_726df893 | comment |
Equipment Upgrade: Partway through the story your basic sword gets replaced by Constantine's Sword. While it deals the same amount of damage as the previous version, holding it doesn't make Garrett more visible to enemies the way the normal blade does. | |

"Save the World" Climax: The first parts of the game are about Garrett stealing and other such criminal activities, with only a few supernatural elements here and there. It ends with Garrett disrupting the Trickster's Evil Luddite plans. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Averted via a Bag of Spilling approach to buying new equipment for your inventory between missions. Not only can't you keep items you don't use, you can't even keep the extra cash if you don't buy them. So the game encourages you to spend your hard-earned cash on more equipment you might need for another mission. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Your objective for mission 4: use your shiny new lockpicks to sneak into the Hammerite Temple and steal some loot. Simple enough. As soon as the mission actually starts, the shopkeeper who sold you the lockpicks is shot, two men outside say they killed Garrett, and this objective is crossed out, replaced by following your would-be assassins and finding their employer. "Song of the Caverns" is presented as a spelunking mission similar to the previous one, "The Lost City". However, once you reach the shrine where the Talisman is hidden, you find it missing, and then learn it's already been looted and is now in the possession of the opera house's owner. The mission then replaced with a normal theft in the opera house. Players might get an idea that the mission isn't what it seems when they see the shop offer gas and moss arrows that would be better suited for sneaking past guards than fighting monsters in the caverns. | |

Rewatch Bonus | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_97926168 | comment |
Rewatch Bonus: After playing the game all the way through and knowing that Constantine is The Trickster the items you see in his house during the cutscene where you meet him take on new significance. Among them are music pipes (which the Greek god Pan, who he is clearly based on had) and a statue/stuffed raven (several real world Native American tribes have myths about trickster deities who look like ravens or crows). There's also a stained glass window with a picture of an apple tree and a person hanged from it. While the significance of the latter is uncertain, the apple likely is meant to refer to the Garden of Eden (both because he's similar to the Christian Satan and because the serpent tricks Adam and Eve into eating the fruit). The person hanged from the tree can be interpreted as a metaphor given that Constantine deceives Garrett into delivering The Eye to him all while he sits back and watches. He's letting Garrett 'hang' himself. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: Besides the Old Quarter and the Lost City, Constantine's mansion. The first few halls are quite conventional, but once you infiltrate it deeper, the weirdness starts, and it's quite unsettling. The Maw Of Chaos for sure. It's not clear whether it's Another Dimension or just deep underground, but either way it includes such mindfuckery as a waterfall that "falls" up, and upside-down body of water, an ice slick right next to a lava pool, and, at a few points some floating "pods" with newly created monsters that get sent through portals (presumably to the surface world). | |

Foreshadowing: In a simultaneous amusing and tragic coincidence, as much as Garrett scoffs at Ian Cribs' play "Reginald and Conandra Forest Princess", a story of doomed romance between a Hammerite Novice and a Pagan Dryad, something quite similar ends up happening by the end of the Metal Age between him and Viktoria. Garrett in this game even dresses up as a Hammerite Novice in one of the missions to sneak into the local Hammerite Temple. | |

| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_c6695a49 | comment |
Mêlée à Trois: The game has the potential for this in any level where multiple types of Artificial Intelligences are around, e.g. "The Haunted Cathedral", "The Lost City". Zombies will attack anything alive, for example, not just the player; fire elementals will attack at least some types of living Artificial Intelligences; and so on. | |

Retirony: A variation - Garrett expresses his intention to retire after stealing the Eye from the cathedral, before the Trickster betrays him and leaves him for dead. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Keys aren't just for show. One useful tactic is to steal a guard's key, let him see you and chase you into a closet or room with only one exit, then lock the door. The guard no longer has his key, and will be stuck in the room. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Thief Gold adds a new enemy type called Fire Shadow to two levels. These are unkillable, but dealing enough damage to them will cause them to drop a fire crystal and flee for a time. These two levels are also the only places in the game where you need fire crystals to solve a puzzle. This is not a coincidence. | |

Fake Ultimate Mook | |
| Thief: The Dark Project (Video Game) / int_da32aec9 | comment |
Fake Ultimate Mook: Several notes/books and even Garrett's narration hype up enemy mages as tough to fight, they're actually one of the easier enemies to fight as their magic animation takes longer than bows meaning Garrett can consistently damage them enough to stun them before they can get a spell off at close-range while Archers usually at least get one arrow off if Garrett fights one at close range, they're essentially the only human enemy that the player can actually consistently deal with in direct combat without taking damage as long as the player ambushes them at close range and doesn't stop attacking until they die. | |
