I just played this and it's SOOOOO GOOOOOD.
Few things:
1. The "weeping angel" style statue enemies that only chase the player when they aren't looking is a BRILLIANT idea. You know that indie game Superhot where the enemies can only move when you do? In a way, this reminded me of the stealth/action version of that.
2. The end chase as you escape the ice golems in the frozen fortress was wonderful.
3. I love the enchanted mop that just can't resist cleaning a mess.
4. Minor criticism...I feel like there should have been some note or something letting you KNOW for certain that you need to assemble the golem to finish your quest to get the power crystal. Maybe there was and I just...completely forgot it? But ultimately I felt like I was just collecting random things and solving random puzzles until suddenly OH THERE'S THE CRYSTAL. A big "The golem is your secondary objective" signpost would have helped the sense of progression. I dunno. I'm nitpicking here.
5. That M.C. Escher staircase room is one of the most impressive bits of architecture I've ever seen in the dark engine.
6. And also, so was the tower itself from the outside. Just gorgeous looking.

Just finished and feel compelled to say: I normally can't stand environmental/puzzle missions, and I absolutely ADORED this. The weeping angels, the Escher room, the incredibly charming mop, the Dark Souls-like ruins covered in rusty swords...the sheer amount of creativity and tech wizardry on display here is amazing. :eek::eek::eek: Well done.

Mission starts and closes in 1 sec, I only see some blue floor and tower then mission interrupts and thief deos not work

rscorpio you will get so much more help if you provide details on your install or other actions taken in trying to run the mission. We don't know what version of Thief your using, and by what method you installed that version. Are you using fmsel to run mission or another fan mission loader?

Thanks, it works now, I deleted all and reinstalled again, only always problem mouse delay I am like swimming, cant fix it, mouse delays all the time annoying, not with me

Those damn statues caught me off guard! They remind me of the weeping angels from Doctor Who. I had to take a break from the mission because they were stressing me out. :laff::laff::laff:

Finished this excellent FM/adventure, had real fun solving the many puzzles. Only thing i don't like is the ice palace area, architecture is too generic and meh and ice beasts felt out of place and clumsy.
Many thanks!

@nicked, I'm curious about something. There are those crazy, rotated staircases in the mission.
Was that section inspired by some painting? Because, if so, I really need to know the title of it, since I'd like a copy on my wall. The place is really familiar for me from some 20th century painting.

Yeah it was inspired by Escher's works, though there was no one specific painting that inspired the room directly.
