Hmmm, [spoiler]not enough water arrows to clean stuff[/spoiler] - anyone know where I can find some? Oh, wait, maybe there's something else I can try first...

Thank you so much for making this fm. I finished it on Bachelor difficulty and had lots of fun.
It is a nice homage to Hilbert's paradox of the Grand Hotel. There were nods to Cantor and Brouwer as well.

There are a lot of clever gameplay mechanics involved which were a delight to discover

* The Morse Code Puzzle was something that I was skeptical would work but it was satisfying to see the gate lift up
* The Paintings and the glasses allowed the player to teleport to certain areas.
* The Infinite Stairs and the infinite height of the hotel. I didn't know that it was possible to do this. I was really hoping that we could access every floor and get infinite loot :D



The hotel itself can be quite confusing to navigate. The West Wing was really obscured and I didn't think to look up. That was the only pain point for me in this mission. I actually completed all the bonus objectives before I even got to the actual Aleph Stone.

Atmosphere wise, I'm not sure if it is your intention especially with the inclusion of mages but the whole idea I got about the hotel was that it was a magic hotel. Magic in the sense that it was the cause for the infinite floors in the hotel. There could have been some readables about how the hotel came to exist, (constructed by Professor Hilbert?). It would bring a little context and flavor to the mission.

Being a hotel, some areas felt really empty. I would expect guests strolling about, hotel admin staff in their offices. Maybe even an actual event that is happening in the ballroom. It will brighten up the overall mission. The talismans themselves could be hidden in different places rather than the base of the statue.

Btw is it even possible to visit the pool and pond areas? I could not figure out how to get to them.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself and I'm looking forward to the next fm. That cliffhanger ending really got to me. Good job for creating this fan mission! :thumb:

If needed, the diagonal strafe-run can make the leap more forgiving. But yeah, it's a tough jump and fully optional in terms of beating the main objectives.

@SilenTaffer
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it. My advice for reaching the pool/pond is similar in both cases: look up!

How do i get the Aleph stone? I’m in Brouwer’s painting world and it’s not there. It should be where the 8 ball was right? Also how do i get the menger sponge?

Aleph stone: The note by Brouwer's body in the 8 ball exhibit room tells you where to look.

Menger sponge: The note on the cabinet in the Legal and Compliance office refers to the Menger Sponge exhibit being linked to the elevator power supply.
