Extremely impressed by how well this mission nails the TDS look, NewDark handles it like a champ. It's the high points of TDS distilled into a single mission which is really all I could ask for.
Results: 00:50:38, 3717/4000 loot, 3/3 secrets
My first instinct was to pick up the Compendium and drop it in a fireplace, only to realize that I couldn't! To me that would've been preferable over the fire arrow (and it would've made for a neat non-standard game over if you dropped it in the water!) but it's a minor nitpick given the overall quality of this mission. The invisible basement creature gave me the heebie-jeebies, though I ended up tracking it more by sound than by the ripples it made in the water. They were a cool detail, just a tad difficult to see.

We rarely get FMs of this quality nowadays. "I pReFeR T1 aEsthEtiCs" it is now. Pffft.
There is a little... not even an issue, more like inconvenience, but still: I wasn't able to understand the message on the Victrola. Too quiet, too long. The objective was self-explanatory though, so it is a very minor nuance.

For future reference, the victrola message (and other new voicework) has full subtitles if you turn them on.
I have also had some reports of the final objective not successfully ticking off. If you reach the point
where all the other objectives are complete and you have got back to the boat, you can safely Ctrl+Shift+End without missing any content.

I've been running round the mansion for an hour, got the 3k loot, but unable to progress further than the secret passage in the guest rooms, there is only the dumbwaiter and thats it. Any hints, please?

Congratulations on the release, Nick!
An excellent mission with a really great atmosphere- I really want to see more TDS style missions from you because this was truly stellar.

Nice mission! The thing in the basement scared the crap out me :eek:
Playing on normal, all objectives complete, jumping into the boat does not end the mission?

Can someone give me a hint on the location of the book in the library?
