Thick as Thieves

Thick as Thieves is a stealth game about carrying out heists in Kilcairn, an alternate-history Scottish city in the 1910s where magic and early technology are beginning to collide. As a new member of the Thieves' Guild, you take contracts to steal precious heirlooms and uncover arcane secrets, either alone or in online co-op.

Heists in Kilcairn

The introductory campaign spans 4 hours, with 3 mission types and 16 contracts across two of Kilcairn’s well-guarded landmarks. You plot routes through streets and over rooftops, and can approach each opportunity creatively. The game offers two dynamic maps and short missions designed for replay.

Stealth and improvisation

Choose between two thieves, the SPIDER and the CHAMELEON, each with their own talents and abilities. Observation and improvisation help you stay hidden and adapt when plans unravel. You can change your gear loadout, with six unique pieces of gear available.

Your tools include Slithersap, which short-circuits security lights; Smoke Bombs, which break line of sight; and the Pickpocket Fairy, which triggers switches from a distance. You can use stealth, distraction or subterfuge to get past security.

Changing challenges

Heists do not play out the same way twice. As you raise the difficulty from Novice to Master Thief, security layouts and guard configurations shift, creating dozens of distinct experiences. Contracts also change with each playthrough, and the missions reveal secrets of the Constabulary and mysteries of the nobility.
