Slightly illogical puzzles; Why would I leave daughter's bedroom key on a balcony? Why would I think of looking for the balcony key in the middle of the kitchen floor?

Good mission with great puzzles!

The fact that the code was not easy to get and all the secrecy surrounding it on the thread made this fm incomplete. I don't need puzzles to solve I just want challenging objectives.

I've never been afraid of a bed before...

A nice and very creative mission. Too bad I did not enjoy the weird number puzzle at all.

I gave it a lower gameplay score because of non-intuitive puzzles (the combination, and some of the other puzzles, I had to look up the solution for on the forums). That said, this is still a fun little mission, with quite a bit of creativity throughout.

Rules, or more like "the rule", was well followed in this fm. It was kinda interesting to see author making much scripted events in so small area. While the things that were meant to have scary wibe in them, most of them lacked it, due to being the very old overused stock resource of original Thief. They also were kinda clicheish.

Overall it was neat little fm.

..Also, i don't know was it meant to, but i found a way to open most of the doors by throwing that skeletons skull few times at them.. :P

Enjoyable FM, good creepy elements and story that I'd like to see continued. Only issue for me was needing forum help to find items/code, hence gameplay marked down a little.

This was a fun mission but it is mainly a short key hunt. It would have benefited from better clues about how to proceed. For example, the code puzzle was not really logical and there is no way to know you are supposed to hit the skeleton in the closet. That means you just have to run around trying everything until you are lucky enough to discover what works. In my opinion, that's not very good mission design. However, I like the whole idea behind the mission. It is a very clever idea and an interesting story. I wish it were a bit longer but the author appears to be promising a sequel. I hope so.

While creative and with a good story (albeit without proper closure), there's just no challenge to it. There's no loot to collect, one enemy that can hurt you, and the "keys" are in expected places. Three rooms are not used to their fullest, only there to flesh out the scenery; the bathroom, WC, and master bedroom.

Beautiful little mission, interesting use of space: partially vertical, and seemed much bigger than in reality thanks to key hunt and places you see but cannot enter (elevator, neighbourhood) + scary teddy bear, loved it! I liked how you created the illusion of space using windows view. Also, this skeleton in closet - LOL!! However, the story seemed - to me - a bit illogical (e.g. this creepy bed?? why...?) and this is the only problem (a tiny one!) is see here. Many thanks for your hard work!

Great horror-atmosphere mission, a pleasure to play during the evening. Nice idea and good execution.
Quite intriguing plot with a creeepy moments and a promise for the continuation (hopefully).
Nice sounds and background music set. Really matches the story and overall atmosphere.
Quite interesting approach towards AI (with no guards) =)
I liked script moments with appearing items and objects. It brings a reason for each area involved in the mission.

A fun to play thing. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

Great mission with great visual details, however, I didn't notice a reference of the "10 rooms" theme - It was too "enlarged" for such limits I think.

Impossible and unfathomable.

gameplay took a hit because it was so difficult, and required players to do things/use equipment in new ways not fully explained

Amazing looking layout, but extremely frustrating. After the vents I was able to proceed and was amazed by the forest section. And I hope the builder will continue this series!! It would have been very helpful if the drain pipes were climbable.

Too much Trial and Error. From launching arrows to making jumps. Each and every step took multiple attempts to make progress. It was like coming across a lock that takes 10 minutes to open. Now multiply by 100. At least 50 challenges were way too hard. One could get stuck in a dromed crack at every turn causing a reload.

Love the location so high up. The textures were the best in the competition; and that forest was stunning. For me, the leaping/climbing was really frustrating, too much so, hence low score here. I died way too much, and needed lots of forum help to navigate/find things.

What is the sense in creating a game where the player must ask the creator what to do next? The story and gameplay don't fit. Not self supportive, and very frustrating to play, as the player has no idea how to proceed to the next step. Overall-Poor Gameplay, good graphics, but I am not in the least impressed with it.
If it were not for having to reload 50-100 times to attempt to get to the next place, I might have found some enjoyment in it. Not well planned for being a self supportive and playable mission.

This was... HARD! Really hard! The author clearly has taken the idea (that goes all the way back to the game "Dark Forces") of putting the player around and on top of infinite falls to their death and trigger the player's "fear of falling" reflex many times, and ran with it! The annoying part is it wasn't clear in a few places where you could and couldn't put vine arrows to help you get where you're going. Similarly, it wasn't clear where to go in some cases (most notably, going to windows far below you). That said, a few of the puzzles were actually pretty straightforward (the vents), but too many puzzles required me to get the answer on ttlg's forums. In particular, the gate you mantle through to get to the area where you place the anti-magic crystal was not intuitive at all. But, the rooms had very nice architecture and many of the areas were very beautiful (the areas near the crystal and the forest in particular). I have to give the author top marks for creativity even though jumping puzzles/ropework aren't my cup of tea.

Excellent idea for a mission which includes lots of excellent ideas for creating fun, tense gameplay. Unfortunately, these ideas were sometimes not so well executed. I really liked the challenging terrain and loved that there was so much "rooftop" work. I really liked having to struggle to find my way forward, and I really liked the things I had to do to proceed. But some of them were unnecessarily difficult, such as a railing you must walk on but the part that actually supports you is invisible and the visible part won't support you so you fall to your death until you figure out where you can walk. But this is a minor annoyance compared to how much fun that part of the mission was.

However, there are a couple of glaring problems. It is necessary to backtrack, probably many times, before you figure out how to proceed and actually get the items you need to do so. And that means you must fight the finicky terrain many times which just becomes frustrating and tedious. Having to cross it once was fun, having to cross it multiple times, not so much.

Also, you can end the mission prematurely by completing all your goals, for example if you meet the loot goal before going to the forest (which, by the way, is beautifully done in every respect!). Conversely, you can find yourself unable to complete the mission if you go to the forest without finding enough loot first. This really should have been caught in testing.

But overall, it was more fun than it was frustrating and an outstanding effort. I hope to see more from this author and more missions of this type and this level of difficulty, just with some of the frustrating elements removed.

I would have rated this mission higher if it hadn't been so incredibly difficult to get around in and figure out what to do. It was very creative and the forest was really well designed.

This was not an easy game to play. Had to save almost at every step in playing. Mantling in some area was just way to hard and I got killed to many times trying. The layout and story line is great but a lot of area needs to be more accessible to keep the player interest and moving forward in the game.

This was very fun mission to play, something i'd gladly see a full mission made from.

This mission could have been a nice challenge. But as it is, I found it rather too hard and tedious due to some flaws in the gameplay.
Without a video walkthrough available I would have shelved this mission before completing it.
I assume this was due to time constraints and I would be glad to play a polished version.

Quite unique looking but absolutely horrible in gameplay mission. For me it was full of meaningless tooth-crushing puzzles with no logically acceptable clues. # of "Help-me!" forum posts is a kind of evidence...
Yet, it is a brilliant textures/objects work, a true must-be-look-like benchmark. Lot's of custom-made things looks just great.
Have to admit quite unique approach fot the overall idea execution.
I also liked the sound execution - great job!
I think that the Author put his really best for the mission but over-reached the willingness to make "good puzzles" (dude, please don't try so hard next time). Yet, I bet that this guy will crush our brains with something of a bigger level and much more enjoyable in gameplay job. I'm really looking forward to his upcomming project.

It was a FM, that could have been really great, but fell miserably to its design flaws. Man I wish I could give it less points, as it didn't feel like 7 out of 15. Well, the background story was great, it had that surreal feeling at parts, and even managed to surprise you. The story ended abruptly, so I'm looking forward for a sequel. The FM was visually very good looking, it had nice textures and objects and architecture was impressive. Overall it had some very original scenes and good feeling to it. Too bad it didn't feel like The City though. The ambient tracks were unfitting and not even Thiefy in the city, but in the forest the soundscape was great.

The FM was mostly unpleasant and irritating to play because of its bad design. The FM was very hard and all the jumps and maneuvers had to be just right so quickly you ended up looking more at the loading screen than the wild scenery. I wasn't able to complete this without walkthrough as it was hard to know where to go next: it was inconsistent where you could mantle or shoot rope arrows and which of the dozens of windows you could open. You just had to know it. You were even forced to use violence once. The loot requirements were way too high, I wasn't able to find most of them and not being able to come back later to collect all of it, I would have become stuck again without walkthrough. The high loot requirement forced you to find nearly all secrets and pseudo-secrets and derived you horribly from the main quest. I found even a few bugs: there were a few places where Garrett could get stuck, and one objective didn't fail when it was supposed to.

The FM adhered badly to the contest rules. I think it had exactly 10 rooms, but it felt like being artificially restricted. There were a lot of places you felt like you could go to, but you were 'railroaded' instead. The FM felt very short, even though you spent a lot of time on it, but all the time was spent yo-yoing blindly back and forth.

Very interesting story with well developed characters. I almost felt sorry for poor cheated fellow. Not to many AIs, but I guess it could be more than this - maybe in golden version ;) ? chambers seemed sometimes too small but in general you used the space perfectly. In general I do not like too much linear play-through but here it was logically explained. And the fountain - cuute :))

Pretty solid, but fine mission.

Liked the unusual aspects of the mission (both Garrett and his quarry have searched a huge number of catacombs, and his quarry got the Amulet and it's now in Bafford's mansion) but it could have used even more - I kept expecting undead to show up or nasty things to happen either when I grabbed the amulet or the ashes. Also, a little buggy (some non-readable readables).

Enjoyable FM, good story flow and gameplay. Would love to see more of the catacombs!

Not considered with reasonable challenge because there are no challenges to complete objectives. Should have been some booby traps, and more ai to create more of a challenge to the player. Other wise this is a nice looking fm. Should have been beta tested! Keep making fms, as this is a good start.

A fun, short little mission. There were ample clues on how to proceed, perhaps making the mission a bit too easy. But overall it was well done. A short, straightforward heist in classic Thief style. And I'm very happy that the author chose to make this a TG mission. There can never be enough TDP and TG missions. Well done.

This one was fun to play, but creativity and gameplay weren't anything that stood out that much. Overall it was a good little mission :)

Slightly silly with all the secret hiding places and open references, but pleasing to look at and challenging to ghost through. Would taff again.

A nice easy-play and good looking experience with no really big challenges (maybe I've missed them a bit)...

Mission was alright, nothing special. Apart from one very well hidden switch, it offered very little challenge. After the sneaking was done, the keyhunt was pretty straightforward, as the FM gave you clues with a silver spoon. Garrett's background story was good, but I would have wanted to see it in this FM itself. Of course, this FM would have not been able to participate in the contest then (which tells something about the contest itself...). Omitting the intro, made this FM just too short. The background story of the mansion was good. It was nice to read about all the intriguing in the mansion and where all the loot was coming from. Well, maybe the texts were a bit too long. The mission had exactly ten rooms. Audiovisually OK.

It's unfair! I'm scared like hell of heights!! It was so.. realistic. So huge and so DIFFICULT. Beautiful and astonishing. I want more :D I absolutely wouldn't be able to tell that you created a 10-rooms mission. Bravo! Thank you very much for your hard work and please, don't stop :)
