TEAR is Single-Player modification to Half-life 2 which based on source engine. Player impersonate with young adept who is about finishing his studies and wants to join thief guild. Mod is connecting stealth elements with effective fighting styles like in Dark Messiah (but not similar). There will be also lot of different kind of mixtures which can heal you, increase damage, make you stronger and faster etc. You can also hunt some creatures, fight with humans and have fun with RPG elements.

Nice find! I'm not sure about the "feel" of the Source engine though. It doesn't seem suited to sneaking although I'd have to see how it's implemented before making final judgment.

Some of the exterior designs look nice. The gameplay looks like "kill HL zombies who have new models" at this point, though I assume they intend to change that once they fill the right team positions.

Nice find indeed! I've said it before*, and I'll say it again. If there's a page on the Internet, a blog or alt tag that includes the word "Thief", clearing knows about it. Somehow, he knows.
I'm guessing the general idea is that a medieval city has been over-run with a plague that turns people into zombies and you get to bash their skulls in, which makes the choice about including stealth elements a little hard to understand. Will have to wait and see on that front, but the screenshots do look delicious.

Legend has it that he can also Google into the future.

Source engine is awful pile of loadings.

The pics look cool.
With rifles and crossbows I wouldn't say it sounds too much like thief even if you are supposed to be one, maybe they should just make you a rogue or something.
Source engine isn't that bad, I used it alot the past year and although TF2 has very few options for customizing (no scripts and whatnot) I know that Mods can use those tools.
Dynamic lights completely kill it, but the baked lightmaps are very good.

Looks nice, although like with all mods, the crucial question is always "how to turn this mod from a few promising early shots and models into a finished product", meaning they still seem to have a good 95% of their work before them. It looks more like Hexen II than Thief, but then Hexen was fun too, if not very stealthy.
