The Way of the Thief is a first person stealth game. You, the player takes on the role of a medieval hired master thief from some fantasy universe. You charge high prices but your the best there is. There's no door you can't unlock and no guard you can't slip past. Any task you take is already considered 'done' before the coin touches your hand.

While playing TWotT there will be a narrator that tells are story based on what you do similar to how the narrator in bastion works. The game starts while you are at the peak of your fame. You start in the middle of a city at night. with many different scrolls containing tasks with huge sums of cash from rich merchants, barons, etc... The player will then get to choose one and travel to the guy to do collect the gold before doing the quest. The player will have all of his tools and skills etc.. and will feel very powerful (yes this is how every assassins creed game starts, i know) but something happens on your task, maybe the guy is smart and knew you where coming, and you get captured and questioned. This guys wants to know how you become so good.

So the player will go back in time and relive the thieves life, starting from nothing and being clumsy and unskilled and poor, become greater and more famous and rich. The game play is similar to that of the old Thief games. You would have a map and compass and would have to navigate yourself around the city, no hand holding etc...

The player will get time to experience his well earned fame and wealth when he is at the height of his ability. And then he will come across a quest that is vaguely similar, the quest from the beginning. The player will get captured again and then the game will come back to real time. The guy who captured you brings you to his castle thing and says that he's going to kill you. The player then has to use everything he has learnt while playing through this thief's lifetime to escape alive.

Assembly

Assembly is a fps game with a big focus on handling the guns. Aliens have invaded the earth 50 years ago and finally earths resistance has managed to get hold of alien technology and learned how to use it. The only problem is that it is very difficult to do so with only two hands.

In Assembly the player must clear a bunch of levels on one of the aliens military bases on earth so that more weapons can be distributed to the resistance. The twist comes from the complexity of the guns themselves. The alien guns were design to be operated with four (or in some cases six) hands and so they require a greater level of mastery, and are operated with the 1-4 keys above the WASD keys.

The guns are aimed aimed and shot with the mouse like any fps. However each of the 1-4 keys controls a different piece of a weapon and to perform an action outside of shooting will require the player too press these to do that. e.g reloading, changing ammo, scoping, activating a rapid fire mode etc....

Also each weapon will give the player a couple abilities that they can use in the same way. Small weapons like pistols will only need the 1-3 keys to use, while the bigger ones will need to use all four.

Other than the gun mechanic, Assembly will play similarly to and old school fps like Blood or Doom. It will be fast paced and action packed with lots of gore and violent dying animations. The player must also free captured humans that are being experimented on in the military base. The boss battles with be either high ranking alien soldiers or mutated humans who have been stitched into abominations.
