as Van Helsing, your mission to save Lucy Harker and investigating about Nosferatu... feels familiar? of course, because author is the same person who also created "Dracula" campaign. i like the game atmosphere, there are no annoying enemies while investigating the castle, twice. the downside is the unfinished story. still waiting a sequel when ...

For a vertical mission like this I didn't do much climbing, tbh. It's more like a long spiralling street, that goes higher and higher to the mansion, and it's quite linear. While the main objective is straight forward, with a few nice twists and spooks, the optional stuff was brutal. I don't have many points in perception, so it took me ages to ...

Well, you already know that it has a lot of verticality, when it's a skacky mission. 😉

Apart from that, there's really lots to like. The level design is great, and logically takes you through the objectives. The added "contracts" you can get (for free 😉) in the shop before the mission start, in the vein of Dishonored, were a nice addition to ...

Personally, I'm one of those taffers who enjoys the hell out of a Thief mission when its setting goes deep into the dark fantasy territory - thus why the title of Into the Dark Forest hyped me up quite a lot already! And oh boy, was I pleased by what I got! Gotta mention though the mines and the factory sections (basically the first third) almos...

This mission was released in a rush to meet the TDM 15th Anniversary contest deadline, and is clearly still somewhat unfinished. It's very short- with just two or three City alleys and a small but cool underground section- there is only one AI in the whole mission, and the last few rooms are disappointingly empty.

Nonetheless there's a few t...

Shadows of Eidolon is a classic bite-sized romp through some pitch black sewer tunnels. For the most part it is pretty enjoyable. The mapping is pretty basic but the linearity of it helps avoid getting lost in any of the pitchblack areas. To help see, the normal blackjack is replaced with a permanent effect default Thief flare. This single objec...

Continuing to go trough as many top rated missions as I can I've reached this One Million Units Contest gem. Skacky has created or participated in a good dozen Thief projects and I've yet to play one that I don't like. I don't genuinely enjoy very long missions and in the spirit of the contest, this mission is pleasantly short-ish. It still took...

A city/mansion mission with tons of verticality. Was a joy to play!

this is a great fan campaign. Garrett initially worked with Sir Belmont, then later Garrett contacted by Lady Emilie. the mission begin at the friendly city, then ends at very large area where there is a real world and an unreal world. i love that twist. all five maps are well designed, and the story is good. i'm very enjoyed playing this.

The only good thing I can say about it is that it explains what SPCF from "Retrieval" FM from the same author is. And, believe me, you don't need to know. The rest of it is pure ugly junk, that nobody should ever spend their time on.

Despite the neat idea of trading items for items, it's incomprehensible, buggy and ugly piece of work. I did majority of goals, but I dropped it after I couldn't figure out how to get into the Keepers area for an item to trade for the sword. Plus the money pouch was bugged and I couldn't take it from a guard in SPCF (whatever it is).

Avoid.

So I found all keys, treasures, including the sword, but I defeated the count with two holy water arrows (had to make a run from the fountain). The game didn't register my kill and failed to end properly. Maybe the intended way was to sneak into the treasure room to get the sword and then duel the count on swords, but hey...

Anyway, the missi...

Not sure what Viktoria has to do with any of this. It's a tiny tomb adventure (2-3 minutes long) with almost no story and no challenge. It does nothing wrong, but it doesn't do anything interesting either.

Someone probably tried the editor one free evening and moved on.

i'm very enjoy playing this mission although the map have several minus design. the map title is "Sweet Harlot". your objective is to break into a Brothel, but don't expect you'll see undress Harlot just like in ST2X's Brothel, so never think about that.
