15 years before Dishonored, Thief devs considered letting Garrett shrink himself rat-sized so he could scurry through…
Lead designer Tim Stellmach revealed that Looking Glass Studios considered giving Thief's protagonist Garrett the ability to shrink himself to navigate small spaces, similar to Dishonored's possession mechanic. This idea was ultimately dropped due to the significant development effort required and potential design implications for the pure stealth experience. A remaster of Thief: The Dark Project is currently in development by Nightdive Studios.
