In Ashcombe House, we are tasked with robbing a modestly sized estate. A tunnel connecting the sewers with the mansion's hedge maze is dig by a bunch of goons and this is where our heist starts.

The target building is constructed and furnished in a Victorian style; there are three floors to explore. Had it not been for some new textures, As...

First things first - I've played a bit of Thief in my time, but I'm not an expert. I'm just "a bit experienced". I don't try Ghosting, or Supreme Ghosting (cheers Klatremus, hehe), I blackjack anyone that is certainly going to make my life hell or be an obstacle difficult to avoid. So it's not like my gameplay is about making my life and my walk...

A hidden gem released in 2006, during a time when the golden days of Thief: The Dark Project modding had already passed. It was still a while before authors like Melan, BBB, and Vlad Midnight would begin a slow resurgence of fan missions designed in the classical T1 style. This mission, medium in size, takes us on a familiar journey. The objecti...

This mission is buggy, mainly in regards to AI. Their patrols also seem to be random at times, making it impossible to predict where they were moving without avoiding them all together, which made things frustrating when trying to get loot (the Hammerite's room). Other times, I got spotted for seemingly no reason (walking around on the wooden ro...

Another excellent mission.

I must admit that I struggled to find my way around a few times. There are so many twists & turns that it's easy to lose one's way and also to miss what later appear to be blatantly obvious doors and / or other methods of access & egress.

I had to rely on the wonderful YT video from Marble Man to get back on tra...

A satirical or cathartic project aimed at expressing frustration with the school’s administration. Giving points for originality because there is nothing like this out there. Otherwise, bizarre.

This is a tiny combat-focused mission where the Hammerites are your allies and the guards are the enemy. The story is really basic: the guards have stolen the Builder's Chisel, and the Hammerites ask you to help retrieve it. Starting from the original aspects of this map, it features changed health shields and menu colours, and falling sleet (sn...

This mission makes me think of what a tutorial mission for Thief II would look like. It's really short (took me 11 minutes), in which I found almost all the loot and knocked out the three or so guards. There's some fun readables that show just how biased and incompetent the staff of this museum is. There are quite a few grammar errors in them, b...

While I can appreciate some "arena" FMs, this one is just a couple of basic rooms (with incorrectly rendered shadows) filled to the brim with various enemies. You are immortal and you get plenty of gear to use. Not worth checking out.

That was a fun and enjoyable mansion break. The mission can be completed in approximately 20 minutes, but there are a few well-hidden switches that make the experience a bit longer. The author is German and his English back in 2003 was not stellar, to say the least. However, the readables and objectives are pretty much straightforward, so I did ...
