Thief is a first-person stealth game that likes the dark. You sneak through the ruins of haunted cathedrals, subterranean ruins, and forbidding prisons, in a dark and sinister city - heavily inspired by Steampunk and the Dark Ages. Garrett finds an ally in the shadows, as he steals for money and uncovers the hidden agendas of allies and enemies. The story that unravels is one of deception and revenge.

What is Thief: The Dark Project about?

Thief: The Dark Project unfolds in a brooding, steam-and-sorcery metropolis known only as the City, where competing factions of zealots, pagans, and secretive watchers vie beneath the surface of everyday life. Players take on the role of Garrett, a cynical master thief trained in stealth by a hidden order before striking out on his own. What begins as a string of daring heists for wealthy clients gradually pulls Garrett into something far larger than a simple payday, as one lucrative job reveals hidden motives and ancient forces stirring in the shadows. Caught between rival powers who each want to shape the City's fate, he must rely on cunning, patience, and the cover of darkness to survive. In the end, the reluctant thief finds that staying out of the light is the only way to stop a rising threat that could plunge the whole world into chaos.

Should I stream Thief: The Dark Project on Twitch?

0/100 · Closed off· 2 viewers per streamer on paper

Probably not. The only English stream here holds all 2 English viewers — once you take it out there is nothing left to reach.

The only English stream here holds all 2 English viewers. There is nothing left over for a second.

Almost nobody here is available to you — either a couple of streams hold the room, or nobody is watching in English, or the category is empty, or you would be buried.

This reads the room as it is right now — how much of the English-speaking audience is reachable and where you would land — not how many followers you would gain. That depends on you.

Where to buy

All plain links straight to the official stores. Some will become affiliate links later, and they’ll be marked with a ♥ when they are — you’ll always be able to tell, and the unmarked ones will always be there.

Is Thief: The Dark Project too saturated on Twitch?

Not crowded, but not open either. Only 1 person is streaming Thief: The Dark Project, and the one English stream holds all 2 English viewers — so the room is quiet because that audience is already committed, not because it is waiting for you.
