Horror Fan Missions of recent years?

Hey guys.

Have managed to make a friend of mine hooked on Thief 2. So, now I'm on a quest to find some scary missions to throw his way and were hoping someone could mention a few that has been released in the recent years.

Thanks!

I don't know how recent, 'recent' is but perhaps just a few:

The Horror listing in the Mission by Type Thread is (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144797&p=2272535&viewfull=1#post2272535) here. And the Undead section, which I always find pretty scary anyway, is (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144797&p=2272559&viewfull=1#post2272559) here. Those don't give the dates but there may be titles you don't recognise. Otherwise, Brethren has a listing for 2010-14 (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143713&p=2245801&viewfull=1#post2245801) here which you could use for checking recent mission dates.

But I expect there will be more actual suggestions. :)

Thanks a bunch Nickie. I let him play Eclipsed as his first FM after him playing through the original campaign. Was that harsh? :cheeky:

Just a tad! What's scary is quite subjective. I often find an air of menace more frightening before I know what I'm facing. If I even find that out. Eclipsed was like that as was parts of the Black Frog and there's one section of Drymian Codex that had me rooted to the spot, I was so terrified.

I do hope your friend enjoys them and congratulations on producing a new recruit. I hope s/he becomes as much of a fan as we are.

I would highly recommend Eclipsed. If you like an atmosphere of dread, isolation and uncovering an unsettling mystery in an abandoned town, you might really like that mission. All the scares are few and far between, but occur in unexpected places. There are some genuinely creepy new creatures in certain parts of the mission and the author wisely avoided overusing them, or making them easy to overcome by violence. The mission also forces the player to rethink or vary his playstyle, depending on the locations he's in, and there's an emphasis on good old stealth and on-the-fly problem solving. The town section plays quite differently than some of the spookier parts of the mission.

Apparently you read the post title but not the post contents, or the one a couple above yours. :erg: Else you'd have known it's not for him but a friend, and also that he started the friend with Eclipsed.

I remember a FM where I entered a garden and all of a sudden there was loud thunder and lightning. I was in shock! hehehe. I can't remember the name though.
