Briefing

A while back, I was contacted by an old associate, Keeper Zermelo; he had a job for me. He wanted me to steal a magical gem known as the Aleph Stone, which is currently on display in the Omega Gallery, atop Hilbert's Highrise Hotel. I'm not usually eager to run errands for the Keepers, so I just said I'd "take it under advisement." Keepers rarely offer to pay, and The Omega Gallery is well known for its state-of-the art security system. In short, it didn't seem worth the risk.

But word on the street is that the Hotel's alarm system is currently down. This might be a once in a lifetime opportunity. They'll surely get it fixed soon, and I don't want to miss my window. After all, it can't hurt to have a Keeper who owes you a favor...

While I'm there, I should be able to steal more than just the Aleph Stone and some assorted trinkets. The Omega Gallery also hosts additional treasures: The Builder's original Hammer and Chisel, and a rare collection of gems known as the Platonic Crystals. In the right hands, they could fetch quite the price...

The alarm system is down, but tonight's heist will still prove quite a challenge. The Gallery's most precious artifacts are no doubt protected most securely. Not to mention, the Hotel has shuttered its usual operations so posing as a guest is out of the question. But since when do I need a warm welcome to pull off a job?

No point in waiting; it's time to begin...

message   Made me feel more clever than I really am!

This mission had some hits and a couple misses, but mostly hits.

The thing that makes me happiest is that Trefoilknot managed to make me feel very clever - that's hard.

There were a couple puzzles for which the solutions were beautifully hidden in plain sight, and a couple that made an underutilized and dusty corner of my brain come to lig...

message   Atmospheric, but a bit of a slog

I almost feel bad for not enjoying this mission, because it's bloody beautiful. I mean it, the architecture and atmosphere are phenomenal. The problem is this mission quickly becomes a slog of a key hunt. And there's platforming. The twist and the way it's executed when you think you're about to grab the McGuffin is really well done, but the res...

Its obvious a lot of care went into building this mission with its inspired concept and deep puzzles. However, Hilbert's Hotel is a maze and a key hunt which becomes far more frustrating than any of its puzzles. Almost every door requires a key to the point you will be surprised when they open freely or that you are able to use your lockpicks. ...

Misja bardzo dziwna i wielokrotnie chciałem ją rzucić, lecz zawsze ostatecznie coś jeszcze mnie trzymało przy temacie. A to jeszcze jedną zagadkę rozwiążę i zobaczymy… a to w końcu odblokowałem nowe pomieszczenie…
…aż do samego, bardzo nagłego końca.
Zatem skończyłem tę misję po wielokrotnej próbie jej porzucenia, co jednak byłoby pewnym błęde...
