The main character Thief Gold is a guy named Garrett. As a child, he became an orphan and made his living by petty theft. One day he was caught stealing by Artemius, who represented the Order of the Guardians. Instead of turning the young man over to the authorities, the master suggested that he take a training course and join a secret organization. There was no other choice but consent. But after going through the difficulties of studying, the character goes free and again steals in the market. He moves mainly at night, and during the game he performs a variety of tasks.

In Thief Gold, the street thief is not strong in melee combat. The main advantage is noiselessness and stealth. The arsenal includes a short sword and a bow and arrows. During missions, it is necessary to distract the attention of the guards and organize various sabotages. For example, setting objects on fire, extinguishing the torches of guards. With the help of these tricks, the player will have to get into the most guarded and secret rooms. After all, the main goal of the game is to defeat the otherworldly god Constantine. It started with a pagan paying a thief to steal an ancient artifact. When it was stolen and delivered, the character's eye was gouged out. It is needed to perform an ancient ritual. The Guardians found it in the temple, put it in order and gave it a duplicate of the ancient object. In order to save the familiar world from the onset of darkness, the player needs to swap artifacts. To do this, you need to get into the sanctuary and complete the job before the mysterious ceremony begins. The task is not easy, and the user will need all the dexterity and skill to thwart the insidious plan of the dark forces.
