Everything in this mission seems great but like it needed a few minutes in the oven to come out great. There is a lack of sound ambience in the beautiful city, along with the light gem not really matching the shadows and illuminated areas you see on the ground.

This mission is really good! Intertheft is a reimagining of the infamous Thieves Guild... and it's a very well made piece of work. The corridors are cramped, but sensible and functional, the sewers are properly made (and by no means obnoxious as in the original version), everything has a purpose and makes sense. The atmosphere is better and thic...

A funny mission, very playful with the player and the objectives, with an ugly exterior but a lovely mansion once you get inside.

They are not negative at all, but for example it's very easy to get me overwhelmed with openness and a scale a notch too big. But none of that happened here. Same with shorcuts and alternate ways: sometimes they get so complicated that halfway I start regretting getting into some maze of ducts and start dredding the trek back, if I even decide t...

The story is interesting - what happens to people when the mirror is invented in a world where even water does not reflect light.There are some neat tricks the mission plays on the player to catch them off guard.But all of this is overshadowed by the fact that there are few hints where the player should go and what they should do , to make thin...

House of the Architect is TheDataElemental's debut, a contest mission, and as a debut it is very impressive. The premise is extremely simple - rob the place, and though it isn't that much of a problem, the mission barely contains any readables - and that is a very low point in my opinion. While I can see the massive amount of work that went into...

I'll have to get it out of the way - I love this mission. While it has been some time (9 months or so) since I played it, its' image remains vividly in my head. It has climbed up to my top5, maybe top3 FMs of all time, and I have been playing these for around 18 years now, if that's saying something.

The heavy, rain - soaked atmosphere of ska...

I like it when authors continue certain story threads they've spun in their previous works and expand on them. Legacy of Knoss is a bold sequel to Catacombs, and since it's nicked's work, you can expect quality. While it's definitely a great experience, I believe this mission has a feature that instead of playing to its' strength, it ultimately ...

I didn't install it properly with AngelLoader and the objectives weren't showing,
but for some reason I didn't find anything amiss?
I just found that because it made itself seem mysterious, I just went with playing it.
Very great atmosphere, like you were put into a really weird place.
Second playthrough in Expert after properly installing i...

I really enjoyed this mission the second time around. It has the elements of purely classic TDM Thief without all the metaphysical additions in later games, and doesn't try to be ambitious in scope, storyline or, key-hunting. You sneak in and case a joint, get loot, hunt down those who done you wrong, get out. Nice and short, atmospheric, shadow...

Just finished this old mission. Here is my short review:

+ This is a quite large map.
+ Classic Dark Project atmosphere. Definitely for fans of Lord Bafford's Manor.
+ The level design is not terrible for a mission from 1999, some locations look interesting, so I can see that the author put some effort here.
+ Pretty straightforward gamepl...
