Murder on the Dan ce floor

One of Thief ’s key systems is its floors make different noises, forcing you to think constantly about where you put your feet. Here we pay homage to Thief ’s best and worst floors.

Wood

Sort of similar to grass, but dead, which paradoxically makes it slightly louder.

Stone

The standard floor of

Thief. Will alert nearby guards if run on, but otherwise safe to tread.

Tile

A bad floor for a thief. Even walking on it can alert nearby guards— avoid if possible.

Carpet

The thief’s dream floor. A tapdancing horse wouldn’t be heard on

Thief ’s rugs.

Metal

Basically a floor made of alarms. If you see metal, prepare to run, because you’ll be heard anyway.

Grass

A bit crunchier than carpet, but still the second-best floor in the thief’s footbook.

Moss

A portable floor that’s completely silent. Like a big cuddle for your feet, but of limited capacity.
