This was good fun and I enjoyed the story. Architecture is very boxy, but it's still a great fun museum heist jaunt.

Hi, I'm stuck. Playing at Hard (aka "Scarlet") difficulty.
How do I get the Seer's Eye without setting off the alarm? I have a bunch of keys, but none that unlock the locks on any of those cases.

Update: Thanks, Grandmauden. I missed that the first time.

prjames, look in the security room again.

I'll echo what others have said: this was a fun mission with a few nice extras. The rings were a bit too pixel-hunt-y for me, though I did get them all.
Visually the city felt a bit like missions from decades past, but that also fits the theme of the contest, so it's all good.

Overall, the mission was fun. Short, but good.
Still, the end was a bit disappointing - wouldn´t mind a sequel one day.
Also wouldn´t mind some bug fixes - several NPCs got stuck(e.g. the female civilian, some city watch guards) or got on tables(a guard in the museum).

The storyline was very good and the museum looked stunning! Thanks for this fine mission!

Very nice museum mission, love it. Though I was a tiny bit disappointed in the end, having to give up on that gem, but I guess that´s business risk :ebil:
Anyway what I did not understand was deciphering the code. As example "Goblet". The code says:
HLRID
OIBVL
ANCEE
EYN
Goblet has 6 letters, the code has 18 letters. 18:6 = 3 - so its 3 columns with 6 letters in each column. Goblet in alphabetical order is 351426. So how does this work with the letters? If I put it like I wrote it, it´d be:
HLRIDO
IBVLAN
CEEEYN
to:
IODLHR
INALBV
ENCEEY
--> since first column HLRIDO is H = 2 and 2 is second last in 351426, and so on..
But I guess I´m doing it wrong, since I don´t get out any words:confused:
I hope I´m not confusing anything with the german translation, but since goblet is the same word in english and german, it should be the same code.

Samantha1, to solve the cipher...
When you write the text in columns, you'll need to write the text vertically as you go. This should give you:
1 2 3 4 5 6
H I I L C E
L D B A E Y
R O V N E N
Then, when sorting the six columns, just move each column based on the alphabetical order of the keyword. So you should end up with:
3 5 1 4 2 6
I C H L I E
B E L A D Y
V E R N O N
Hope this helps with the rest of the codes!

Then there is indeed a error in the german translation with the letters cause the code is not correct when I do it that way. The german word for jar is "KRUG", which is 2341 in alphabetical order. The written code is:
UIÜI
LENN
LRFS
NVFE
Vertical it´s then:
ULLN
IERN
ÜNFF
INSE
in 2341 it´s then:
LLNU --> it has to be NULL (the german word for 0 / zero)
ERVI --> it has to be VIER (the german word for 4 / four)
NFFÜ --> it has to be FÜNF (the german word for 5 / five)
NSEI --> it has to be EINS (the german word for 1 / one)
Same btw for the Vase (german word is the same). Instead of HANDSOFFTAFFERYX I get HANDSWFFTAFFERYX. Instead of the O there´s a W in the code and a Ä instead of A. In german it´d be HÄNDEWEGTAFFER, so it´s a mix between the english and german letters (Ä german - A english ; W german - O english)
I recommend to edit the german version.
Grandmauden on 29/5/2020 at 22:44
Alright. The translations were pretty last-minute, so I didn't get a chance to confirm that the codes still worked in German and French.
Added to the to-do list for the post-contest update.
