"The Hand of Glory" is a nice, solid Dark Project-style experience that is neither large, nor too small.
Much of the action takes place in a Hammerite complex, with your main goal being to find a secret underground passage that connects to a mansion from which you must pilfer a certain relic. Additionally, on harder difficulties you must obtain one or two additional artifacts from the Hammer temple itself. The mission is perhaps on the easy side: after exploring around, readables tell you more or less exactly where to go to find certain access points, which can be found anyway by observant players. Only ghosters may have a bit of trouble with the large number of Hammerite guards in the temple, and marble floors in the mansion itself. There are multiple paths connecting the two locations but they must be taken in a particular order.
Design-wise the locations are both simple and pleasant to look at. They don't break any new ground but rather serve as a nostalgic reminder of the original Dark Project missions. A few side areas unrelated to progression give a sense of verisimilitude and "things not seen."
The story is pretty simplistic: no surprises, but extra readables give some simple background to the inhabitants of the temple and the mansion, and there's a connection or two to the locations and characters of The Dark Project.
Overall a fun little mission, good for a brief, but not too brief foray into familiar territory.
