Deus Ex veteran Warren Spector's new stealth title, *Thick as Thieves*, will hit Steam on May 20, 2026. OtherSide Entertainment and Megabit Publishing have set the launch price at a modest $4.99 (£4.99/€4.99), with regional adjustments expected. The game promises both solo play and two‑player cooperative heists, positioning it as an affordable entry into narrative‑driven stealth. Its low price hopes to broaden indie co‑op adoption.

Set in an alternate‑early‑20th‑century town called Kilcairn, the world blends magic, nascent tech and eldritch threats. Players assume one of two thieves, each with unique abilities; the second character remains locked behind in‑game progress. Heists require sneaking past patrols, solving environmental puzzles and lock‑picking, forcing teams to coordinate timing and resource use. Environmental storytelling is woven into each alley, rewarding curious players with lore snippets about the town’s occult history.

The walkthrough released on Megabit Publishing’s YouTube channel showcases a dynamic detection system that punishes noise and rewards clever distractions—turning off lights, luring guards with gadgets, or creating darkness. Multiple route options make each job replayable, a choice that could attract budget‑conscious players seeking depth without a hefty price tag. Its sub‑$5 price also pushes competitors toward more accessible pricing for indie audiences today.
