Just finished the mission.

All in all this is one of the greatest missions I´ve played so far. Brilliant architecture; lots of scary moments; nice story which is told perfectly; and the graphic is the bestest of the bestest; together with Seven Shades of Mercury it´s the most beautiful map I´ve ever played. 9.2 of 10 points.

But there are some points I didn´t like:
[Spoiler]1. Why did I need the hair pin? Why not use the loft key for the second door? This would have been more logic. Especially when you have no clue how to open the door. And the hair pin can be easily missed.
2. Killing the ghosts 5 times the same way went a bit annoying.
3. For my the ending was disappointing. No surprise, and no satisfaction. And I didn´t understand some parts of the story: Why did the house become haunted? Who killed the 5 thieves and what happened to the three „resurrected“ thieves? What´s the point of the girl? Was she some of the tets objects? Or killed by the ghosts? And who killed the man who was paid to resurrect the gang members?
4. The last thing is difficult to describe because english is not my native language but I´ll try describing it: After finding out that you have to kill the 5 thieves the atmosphere of the first part is gone. Why? When you start the mission you have no idea what to do, and particulary you have no real enemy. In fact the horror is only created with the perfect sound, the perfect architecture and some superb shock effects. Although there is no enemy I had the FEELING I am surrounded by foes. That they could attack after every corner. And it could be everything:the puppet. The dummy. The house itself. This uncertainty makes it so thrilling.
But after finding out there are 5 evil thief ghosts and they must be killed with the help of the holy water this uncertainty vanishes. And with it the intense atmosphere of the first minutes of the mission. Of course this can´t be avoided cause the player has the goal to solve the mystery. But in my opinion this solution comes to early.
5. The morgue didn´t scare me. Maybe/perhaps because there was no sound. And I think this morgue was a bit out of place. It looks just to modern with the anatomic posters and the audio tape.


[/Spoiler]

And I had some bugs:
[Spoiler]1. The sky changes to big black circles if you look at it in a special angle.
2. The ghost who is appearing in the morgue did float after he began to chase me. Therefore he stuck in the air and could not follow me. I had to reload.
3. The last ghost didn´t want to die in the holy water. I had to chase him about 15 times over the water.
[/Spoiler]


Some final questions:
1. Is it worth to find all cards?
2. Are there any changes between the difficulty settings?
3. Will we ever see another Saturnine misison?

Go back to the loft, go out the door, and close the door behind you when you get on the balcony. You'll kick yourself for missing it.

And before you go there make sure you have the crowbar.


I'm curious if anyone (besides the testers) has found all the tarot cards and figured out what happens when you do.
