Thief 2 takes place one year after the original Thief , in which Garrett defeated fanatical religious sect the Hammers. They create mechanized security devices to take control of the city. It's up to Garrett to end the Mechanists' agenda and to figure out why the new sheriff wants him dead. With his trusted bow and specialized arrows, Garrett sets off on extremely difficult but brilliantly designed missions ranging from eavesdropping to kidnapping a VIP from a guarded area to investigating a murder scene undetected. Thief 2 uses sound effects and environmental audio technology effectively.
Players have to be ultra-aware of their surroundings.
All it takes is one guard who hears you walk too fast or knock something over, and you're as good as dead.
