What a treat! Starts as a challenging, claustrophobic sneaker before opening up into a well-designed town, and finally a wild ride through a deeply spooky final locale. Wonderful custom audio, mixed with tracks and effects from Deadly Shadows. The town itself is very reminiscent of DS: tall stucco buildings, narrow alleys, Elizabethan thatch, purple fog. Distinctly European. Attention to detail abounds. Sharp sense of dark humor, with increasingly macabre riffs on classic Thief tropes. Fun puzzles, none of which were hair-pulling, though by the end they did feel a bit like putting a hat on a hat. Overall excellent – head and shoulders above most FMs, and a great preview of the author’s eventual magnus opus, The Scarlet Cascabel.
