TDM FM : Deceptive Shadows

This is a very artistic & good FM Shadowhide. I really like all the overgrowth and the color arrangements. Congratulations on your release.

Edit: Could someone help me though...
[spoiler]I've gone through the ceiling hole on the bottom level to get the holy hammer, I put it on the statute & opened up a library-room, I've learned putting a bone on an alter does something, and I've gotten a mysterious key. Now I'm at an impasse. I see no bone to put on an alter, and I saw nothing else in the library-room to use, and not sure what the mysterious key opens.

Reading these spoilers, I do not have Clement's key either. So I gather I need to find that too. It's not on any of the AI. Can anyone help? [/spoiler]

cabinet key opens the cabinet in room where you found it (the key)

Thanks Shadowhide but I had already opened the cabinet with a lockpick, now I'm stuck, I do not know where the hammer, I read that is a hole in the ceiling but I did not understand what.
Thanks
Nice atmosphere :thumb:

@Last, the hole in the ceiling is in a side room on the bottom level (that is you enter one room, and go through a hole in the wall to the side room). So you need the key to get in the bottom level, and I think the door you enter is either pickable or there's a key I forget.

Edit: Ok, I've finished it now. Very nice ending Shadowhide. All around a top notch FM.

I didn't understand at first why the arm bone on the alter didn't do anything (I was expecting a "put object here" hidden objective trigger that'd work for any bone) and it didn't occur to me to try another bone... Didn't know I should frob all the bones to find the pick-upable one to frob on the alter. But that wasn't so bad, just something I had to figure out.

Thanks demagogue but... I can not find the right room, the ceiling is made of stone or plants? I have six keys, but some of the doors do not open. I'm getting tired of going around in circles.

At the bottom level there should be one room with a broken wall. And that broken wall is 'sealed' with some cob-webs and leads into another locked room (there is no key for that door).
Use brute force in order to get through the cob-webs and then look up.

Nice mission, SH. It feels a lot like a Thief FM, with all the keys and object interaction. Good work, enjoying it quite a bit so far. My only constructive criticism is that some of the lighting, fog, and particle effects are a bit overbearing in places and could have been toned down a bit. But that's a pretty minor complaint, overall the level looks great.

Stuck though - there are 3 doors I can't open: the one in the hallway opened from Clement's room, the one on the middle level across from the barred door, and the one on the lower level across from where you roped up through the hole in the floor earlier. I have these keys: Clements, Lockbox, simple. I can see a key in the box on the dining room table on the top floor, but nothing in my inventory will open it. Not sure what to do next, any hints?

@Brethren, [spoiler]~~The key to that box that has the key inside it IIRC was in the room above the hole you rope arrowed, along with the Holy Hammer. And that will get you through one of the doors you mentioned.~~[/spoiler]

Edit: I'm striking this because I don't think it's right. Even when you find everything, it's hard to remember exactly where you found it later.

Grazie gnartsch... quella ragnatela l'avevo vista subito ma con la spada non si rompeva e ho rinunciato, ora ho messo una cassa e il sacco bianco presi dalla sala da pranzo ma non riesco a salire su per il buco...sto invecchiando ! :D

Thank all ;)
