Thank you Skacky. And thank you nicked too. Great level. Was the mission partially inspired by Broadsword of Sheol and Bloodstone Prison?
A small tip for those who are at the end of the level and may not know how to find
the alternative exit:Go to the topmost floor of the spider area. The room you are looking for is a shrine with skulls and spider mosaic on the floor. Get the key from the ledge. Go back to the library ground floor. Open the grey metal door.Oh thank you for that. Okay, does it matter what you play, I'm on expert, I walking around the top floor, looking for what you described, I'm not seeing it, yes, I'm blind. I'm about done, this was a fun mission, really liked it. Not ridiculous on the loot, I didn't mind the pixels. No HDmod. The monsters were great! The compound/fort was very cool, loved the winter scene. Found the
note warning about fire for the spider nests, that was a huge help! Also, getting into the place, I destroyed the barrel, still was able to climb up and get in on the floating crate, lol. Well, I found another way out, where there is a secret, jump out the window, finished, 4 secrets out of 7, will go back. More than 1 way to exit, nice. Being able to at least drown one spider, yes. nicked on 3/1/2022 at 08:17
It's not difficulty-based, but the key to end the mission is randomly placed in one of three locations.
The note next to the broken lever will tell you where.

Thanks so much for this excellent mission nicked - finished 700 or so short on loot and 4 secrets yet to find. Great mix of manageable enemies - loved the menacing crawl of the white beasts, the shimmering spirits and the re-spawning spiders! Good few hours of real taffing fun in the New Year :cool:

Finally finished on 2630 loot but only 4/7 secrets. I managed to find 2 ways of getting out, but not the one involving climbing.
Managed to navigate through Ok, though the cave part was tough, kept getting spotted. Loved the mushroom men, the spider men and the ghosts, but like another Taffer, thewhite things seemed a bit too large for the setting. wish I'd read the note about the spider nests properly. It would have saved much sneaking!
I'll definitely give this another play - once someone has produced a list of secrets and explorer locations (I missed one).
Thanks for all the hard work that went into this. Much appreciated.:thumb:

Great mission. At the beginning I was getting Quake/Arcane Dimensions vibes from the architecture, which was cemented by the shambler-like creatures. Love the lo-fi, washed out texture work, and I adored how the level evolved as you progressed through the objectives. Whole mission was really creepy, with some quite unpleasant creatures. Amazing work!

is anyone else having some screen flickering at the start? it's especially noticeable when using the zoom-in. not sure if it's an issue indoors but wanted to possibly fix it before continuing.

Not screen flickering as such, but I had a weird issue where the torches physically jittered about a bit.
BrokenArts on 3/1/2022 at 21:28
Yeah, I saw the torches jiggin on the wall, just thought it was a part of the FM. Can anyone point me in the direction of that optional objective, find the book.

Well, you started the new year with a big bang!
Excellent horror mission, genius athmosphere, lovely details, scary custom AI, hard difficulty.
I absolutely enjoyed this mission, it started very promising and scary - like the cursed castle of Sleepy Beauty. Some dark aura depressed the setting. As I progressed in the mission, it gradually got harder. It was not really big, too - but to wander around to collect all these
keys and runes took some time.
All while having a classic Thief experience thanks to fitting low-poly textures - nostalgia kicked in.
I also was challenged by the scary custom AI: I feared the
ghouls and mushroom monsters at most. The
earth section was the worst for me.
There was also a section literally full of spiders. To make things worse,
they also respawned until their nest is destroyed.
That´s why I had 107 kills according to my mission statistics.
I also enjoyed the riddles, but they were not hard and very funny.
Thanks for creating this masterpiece! :thumb:

I missed around 500 in loot - I think I found a
secret door behind one of these murals:, but no lever to open it:
