The doorbell only appears at the end, yes.

Given his use of textures, do you really think he would of left something so prominent out? Nooo. The beginning black out effect was just that, pure effect. Sat can chime in on that to verify. It had a much more foreboding effect with the blacked out windows. Makes you wonder what was inside. It also emphasized the lit attic window. Pure effect. At the end, it was discussed to have the windows lit, as you were leaving, it had a better appearance.

Ah, good to know it's not a glitch at my end. Still, it does look like a glitch, especially since nearly identical windows up on the second floor do have proper unlit glass textures.

Found the doorbell. If there's an update to this mission, the button model needs to be bumped out a bit. Currently it's partially embedded in the wall so the button frame isn't visible except at certain oblique angles.

Anyone mind telling me how you are supposed to enter the crypts? I managed to get in by using the wall near the cellar doors as a mantle. I then ran along the sloped surface and jumped over the walls surrounding the crypt entrance. Did I do that right? I'm probably missing stuff since I was very tired last night when I played (which was only for about 45 mins). Will have to try it again tonight.

Wow, just wow. This exceeded my expectations by far, in terms of quality. :thumb:
The attention to detail is astounding. :wot:
You deserve the fans gratitude and admiration, thank you for this amazing work!
This really pushes the limit of what playing Thief can be.
Just finished with all cards, couldn't stop until it was all done!! :ebil:
Spent at least 2 hours looking for cards #8, #18. :grr:
I'll surely be showing this to a few friends!

Missing card numbers: 6, 9, 10, and 14

Hint please!

I found a tarot card in the attic, in the dollhouse... frob the front door

My question is, how do I kill this ghost in the attic? There seems no way to get out other than the fireplace, which the ghost can't follow!

You've missed the staircase. It's located on the east side of the attic, assuming "up" on the map is north.

Things aren't always as they seem...

There's a stairwell down to a door, tucked behind a wall on your left walking away from the ghost's back iirc.

I've tried letting you know before - but your dark red text for those of us using the dark blue theme is pretty much unreadable.

Dunno if you care - but when asking for help its usually better if all of us can read it without having to highlight it ;)

First of all, thank you BA for the help. Second, thank you SJ for letting my know of the color thing again (last time I was using blue text :p). Third is the reason for me using color, its purely for me, its easier to find my own posts therefor the answers to my questions if its different than the black and white. But because I want everybody to be able to read my posts (maybe I will need help from SJ some day) and I am a good girl and always :sly: do what I´m told from now on I will only use black text. :angel:

Please continue posting in Comic Sans. It makes your posts oh so easy, and desirable, to ignore.
