It's a pleasure to play Intruder's FM once again! This mission is very much like one of the OMs and the story is very strong. I liked the idea this mission would be before Life of the Party and the story fits in nicely. So far from the contest missions, this had most verticality. Also, I liked the loot placements. It's been awhile since I've played OMs but it felt like the loot was somewhat in similar places like in the OMs.

As others have noted this mission feels very professional, not to belittle other authors, I love their work, but this feels like done by a professional dev, because the gameplay/pacing is so tight.
I loved exploring the upper apartments, platforming felt natural to me although I did fall a few times.
Normally I don't like Mechanist stuff but this one is so well done that I enjoyed it for once, the 'boss fight' was tense - I used two mines to make sure, the third mine I used on the angry battle child of Karras who came to check what was going on :sly:.
At the end I got really annoyed by the painting puzzle, I hate when stuff is too well hidden.
This mission gets the highest rank in my personal top and to be replayed for sure.

Mission successfully ghosted in a bit over 1 hour. I thought it will be harder, but 4 guards got stuck: 2 in Lady Valeria's Mansion (one I managed to unstuck by reloading game, other keep walking in place), 1 guard at the bottom of apartment flat got stuck with head in ceiling and lastly Mechanist at the bottom of stairs fell and got stuck on crates under stairs. Some platforming was still tricky. As for sabotage - bot met elevator, which killed him instantly and quietly.

I finished this great little mission. Played on Expert and found 1088/1287 in loot. I do have a question: Along the way I found 2 unnamed keys. One of them opened a blue chest found in one of the balcony apartments. But what does the other go to? I've searched as thoroughly as I know how to search and I can't find anything else locked.

The 2nd key is for players who want to ghost the mission: it unlocks the Victorian chest in the same room where you've found the key (the one with the sleeping servant). You can use the brute force approach of picking the lock, thereby waking up the servant, or use the sneaky approach after checking the entire room.
