info NOTES:     - This is a simple, short experimental kinda mission. See how quickly you can get down. Then see if you can do it quicker. It was built in a week for my own amusement. Don't expect a miracle. :)
- Standard reminder to make sure New Mantle is enabled.
- The mission was built without any mods. It'll look better without em.
- It may be possible for all the bonus objectives to tick off even if you didn't complete them.

Briefing

After visiting the beautiful Lady Marjorie Cruffington-Totty in her suite at the top of the City's most ludicrously tall building, our dashing rascal of a hero has successfully relieved her of her boredom, her modesty and her priceless jewelled necklace, in roughly that order. Unfortunately, the perils of being the City's greatest lover and most daring cat burglar have caught up with him once again, and he must make his escape through her ladyship's windswept and vertiginous balcony window before he finds himself on the sharp end of another furious husband.

message   Simple premise, fun execution

Get down to ground level as quickly as possible - no health, no tools, no enemies, no real story. Just you against gravity and geometry.

Start to finish, this is less than 5 minutes long, though my first completion took over 20 minutes of restarts (I avoided quicksaving/loading). I have since found myself loading up for a few minutes at a ti...

message   Simple yet fun joke mission, and an intriguing study on vertical map layout
Matt    Dec. 9, 2023, 7:19 p.m.

This is the type of mission I can wholeheartadly dig: a simple, but pretty unique concept, implemented in a decent way. Now, it's important to note the gameplay is pretty much a quick save/quick load fest thanks to the engine's unreliable platforming - but I still think it's very much worth to be visiting at least once, because it has a strange,...

Nicked's missions often contain what I suspect is metacontent. This could be interpreted as a slight parody of the extremely vertical (to the nth) FM fad of late.

Lubię takie ciekawostki, ale tej konkretnej nie sposób oceniać normalnie. Zatem takie dziwne cyferki mi wyszły.
Tak czy siak:
Misja zabarwiona lekkim humorem. Musimy uciekać przed mężem naszej kochanki. Wyskakujemy przez balkon... i mamy do pokonania z dobre 40-60 metrów drogi w dół, po parapetach, gzymsach i linach. Autor misji od razu zapowi...

message   Speedrunners should like it

But that's probably all what this mission has to offer. One might like the nicely build architecture, too, which fits to Thief 1 atmosphere very well, even if a little bit surreal. Personally, I am vertical setups enjoyer and I enjoyed that part here, too. But to be fair, the gameplay itself wasn't too absorbing for me, thus the low rating.
