Dread Thief

A thrilling co-operative stealth-horror game harkening back to classics such as Thief 1 & 2, Half Life & Arx Fatalis. As a skilled thief, break into different locations in a dystopian steampunk world filled with treasures and monsters. Play with friends as a gang. Accept jobs and commit corporate espionage on behalf of competing mega corporations, or take jobs from various Thieves Guilds to earn money.
Build a reputation as a thief & as a gang with your friends. Working for one corporation may lead to some benefits as your relationship improves but their competition may get unhappy with you...

Using Unreal Engine 5 with Lumen and custom cel-shaded graphics shaders that respect the physically based rendering pipeline. The game has a mix between realistic lighting and stylised graphics.

Day/Night cycle. Some jobs will be easier at different times of the day. Night-time robberies may seem the easiest, but some places are guarded by nocturnal creatures...

The game has a custom "Ray-Traced" Audio system for spatial reverb, occlusion and transmission built on-top of Wwise. Designed to make audio both useful to the player for insight as well as to strike fear into the player.
