Played until the first conversation, and boy this is something else! Wasn't so sure at first, but man the mood and atmosphere just sucks you right in. So much detail in every room. Seemed sloppy initially, but that was an incorrect assessment.
I did find 3 gates you can lean through and open from the "wrong" side. I've got pics here: (

I figured you weren't supposed to go through them that way, so I left them be. Just thought I'd let the authors know for potential future update. I haven't read any other posts, so sorry if this has been covered. I'm playing version 1.1.

Thank you for realizing frobbing a switch through a gate is (usually) the unintended way to do something and reverted your save :thumb:
I wouldn't necessarily be worried about those, though, as to get them you have to know how to abuse the lean mechanics. Interesting nonetheless!

Oh I know all too well how to abuse the engine. IIRC you taught me a trick or two. ;)
Edit: 2.5 hours in now, and this is beyond my wildest dreams good!! The private sanctum (at least that's what I call it) with that transparent eye-stalked beast is one of the freakiest things I've ever seen! Talk about surrealistic horror. It messes with your brain, which I am all for. You've got elements of all the classic missions here, without copying any one mission directly. Brilliant! Can't wait for the rest, but that's what I must do now...rest.

Amazing fm. Was it inspired by "Into the Odd" tabletop rpg by any chance? It would fit right into that game's weird setting.
So, I almost finished this fm, but one small thing remains. Can someone provide a hint for getting into this room? There are windows on the opposite side of the building, but they seem to be to narrow to climb through.

You can get here simply by going inside the Marketmaster's bathroom and escaping through the grate in the weird pool. ;)

Finished it now, 10/10 mission. I've never been immersed in fm's atmosphere so much since FrenchDecay's Breathing Corpses. :D

Hello everybody,
I have a question for the market area. There is a greenish small tower building opposite the Marketmaster's mansion. I took up a statue piece and placed it onto the pressure plate above. I hear something opening - but where is that ?? Has anyone found that out and can give me a hint?
Thanks in advance,
urumo

It opens something somewhere in the only room accessible in that old bastion.

Finished. What an experience!
A question - in the sanctuary, I kinda expected a stand-off with the evil "vampire" that greeted me at the entrance to it. But I was able to just pass through the area. Is there an optional objective or something?
Also, those two cannibals, never met them again. Did I miss something?

I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. After a few minutes of playing, movement gets slow and choppy. Some of the textures turn bright white. When I turn and look in another direction, the things I look at become pure white. Eventually it just crashes.
I have downloaded and installed newdark 1.27 which I believe is the latest. I've re-downloaded the mission version 1.1. Also my PC is fairly new. Help!
