Aside from doing your job though, there are plenty of fun hidden secrets and discoveries out there in the wilderness for you to find.Although the game has a rather small cast of characters, you can actually build relationships with them as you play the game.

Thief
Thief is a stealth-based RPG where you assume the role of the Master Thief, Garrett.

With Garrett's wide arsenal of skills and tools at your disposal, you'll need to covertly infiltrate mansions, sneak across rofftops, and take out unwitting guards quickly and silently. The AI in the game is rather clever as well and are very well-aware of their surroundings, giving the game a higher degree of difficulty than you might expect.Every aspect in the game caters to the art of stealth, be it sneaking along a wall or quietly wringing a poor guard's neck. So, if you enjoy stealth-based games, you'll definitely love Thief.
