ok after 2 hours and 43 min
10141/10426,,,,,,6/8 secrets wow i am impressed
if anyone has a secret list i am curious what ones i missedHere is a list:
(playing on Expert difficulty, in case that matters)
1. Grand Canal SW end, swim S where water drops from large pipe
2. Candlestick on low wooden roof outside bank manager's kitchen
3. Enter low balcony S the wooden roof in #2 (jump/drop down from pipe)
4. Purse above Hammerites' fireplace in kitchen (their main place, not the workshop)
5. Open passage in house you enter from ventilation gate (switch to the left of unfrobbable door's frame)
6. Rope into apartment at Swan Crescent 4, open secret behind painting (a classic 'frob book' switch)
7. The screenshot easter egg: SE-most block, rope up above (unfrobbable) door at Winding Road 2 and slash banner (easiest done standing on the lamp)
8. Key to safety box nr 20: in bank, on top of combination lock mechanism

This has been a real treat, and a good reminder why Lady Rowena was the best among the best. Visuals, story and gameplay, with a personal style that shines through even the reused OM architecture, are all here in this FM. It is, while complex, an accessible mission: at no point was I lost or frustrated, and the objectives followed logically one after the other. You could say it is more linear than the first two missions in The Seven Sisters, but it wasn't really jarring or intrusive at all. The exploration aspect, which was in addition to the main plot, was also very enjoyable (and I still ended up missing a lot of loot, even though I got all keys). There is a lot of replayability in the mission, and I guess a lot more secrets to find! :D (However, I did find the easter egg gallery. Clever and frustrating... but fair!)
We could obsess endlessly about what more could have been, but I think we should be thankful for what has been found after being lost so long. Kudos to Yandros for making it ready for release!

Thanks Lady Rowena. I played this fm on pre-beta in 2014 and was a great honor for me. I'll never forgot you Adriana.
And thanks to Yandros for this release.

Thoroughly enjoying this one, it's a classic. Thanks Yandros and I'm so sad I can't thank Lady Rowena. But also glad that she left us this gem.

Mission finished, Beautiful mission, lovely textures, very good houses architecture, The skyboxe is amazing, good ambient sounds, enjoyable and easygoing gameplay and a captivating story line, the only thing i would change here would be the terrain textures and convert them to PNG format, personally i don't like how DDS textures are displayed in gamemode, and from what i 've seen in the mission, small areas , houses close to each other the map would support well PNG textures without affecting the game performance. Other than that this is a perfect Job. Judging the way the mission ended there will be a continuation?

You'd better re-read the readme (or the first post in the thread, under Mission Information).
