hi. can you elaborate on gameplay? i didn't play thief back in the day.

Basically its a single player first person stealth game. You are master thief in a punksteam world, you need to trying to sneak by guards and other characters to steal stuff or do other objectives.

Here is a Trailer

Edit: it does not have a real campaign, but about 70 fan made missions.

i want to try this. i enjoyed dishonored and deux ex, so i'm sure this is fun, but the installation procedure seems a bit shady. is there any way to just download a zip archive of stuff?

Sounds shady but I doubt big gaming zines would publish articles about it if someone stumbled upon anything shady by now.

Reception

The Dark Mod has been featured and reviewed favorably by a number of international game magazines, websites and blogs. Examples include the Dutch magazine PC Game Play,[3] the video games blog Kotaku,[4] the British magazine PC Gamer,[5] the German magazine PC Games[6] and the British gaming blog Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

After going standalone the project received substantial coverage from sites like Slashdot[8],Destructoid[9], Joystiq[10], in addition to most of the above sites.

good call. i'll check it out.

Will potentially stream some tomorrow

This looks pretty impressive. Will have to try it

It's uhm... well.. kinda tripe.
I'm trying to enjoy it but frankly it's rather hard to - movement feels wonky, you have to download single player missions and load them separately.
