Briefing

My new employer looks like a man on the run. Works for me. People in his position usually don't haggle over my price. His trembling voice couldn't hide his eastern accent when he told me about a coven of rogue mages on the City's outskirts. These mages meet in a secret library hidden behind the cover of a local scribe's house. I am expected to infiltrate this hideout and steal the tome known as The Condemned Catalogue. Dealing with mages isn't my favourite way to spend the night, but my empty purse has a different opinion. When I agreed, my new employer handed over a key that should reveal the magically hidden library entrance. I've located the scribe's house, and the night has already fallen. It's time to begin.

message   A great debut
super-radical    Feb. 18, 2025, 2:01 p.m.

A brilliant debut from Froghemoth. I hope we see more from them in the future. Unique setting, brilliant production values (with an opening cutscene) and an interesting atmosphere which doesn't stray too from stock Thief Gold. It can be completed in under an hour. I especially enjoyed the side-goal of collecting the four scrolls which requires ...

message   Too cramped and clunky, but good overall.

The author has a good eye for Thief aesthetic. A lot of stuff looked beautiful, with excellent use of light and composition. And while I prefer more claustrophobic missions, this one overdid it a bit. You constantly get stuck in things, in corners, hallways, doors etc. Majority of the time there's only one person that can go through a passage an...

message   Good, reasonably sized mission
veryepicthiefgamer    Aug. 8, 2024, 8:17 p.m.

One could say it've been better with more explicit story in the form of notes, but there was a lot of environmental storytelling which I appreciated. The environments were varied and well-done but felt a bit cramped at times. Opening cutscene was pretty good for a one-off mission. Overall I'd say not god-tier, but definitely worth your time to ...

message   One of my favourite missions
Wuketuke    Feb. 9, 2024, 5 p.m.

what i liked:
i loved the aesthetics and general atmosphere of that place. there were definitely some really creative visual set pieces.

what could be better:
i think there was a general lack of story. Letters or diary entries really help to flesh out a place in my opinion, especially to give the people and the place some character. and tha...

Kiedy zaczynałem swoją przygodę z pisaniem fanfików, to wydawało mi się, że właściwie mogę wstawić tam każdą najbardziej surrealistyczną scenę czy scenerię i wytłumaczyć ją "budową klimatu" lub "niezwykłymi okolicznościami". Szczególnie, kiedy akcja miała miejsce w tajemniczym i mistycznym miejscu, takim jak czyjaś wyobraźnia, koszmar senny, inn...

message   Not only a fantastic debut, but an overall great mission
Matt    July 8, 2023, 5:44 p.m.

Condemned Catalogue is obviously not perfect - but I can enthusiastically respect what Froghemoth did with this map. It's not over-length (I'd even say this is approximately the ideal length for a Thief mission, though I know some players would consider it a blasphemy), has a great sense of mystery, interesting architecture (though some parts ar...

message   An astonishing first entry
Kubrick    July 7, 2023, 7:14 a.m.

What a bar this author has set upon themselves by releasing such a great FM. All that's good has already been said, I just wanted to add my voice to the choir. Highly enjoyable and at the level of the masters of Dromed.

message   A nice first
nanao.    July 4, 2023, 4:31 p.m.

I may be inclined to overshoot this one a bit but I like the theme and mostly also the execution, and for a first it is very solid. Very cute layout touches feel like the winter tunnels paired with "trademark" Sperry-style placement of loot and a touch of Alcazar/Into the Odd, with a few genuine moments of visual awe, minimal beginner mistakes (...

message   Excellent debut map made in the classic style of Thief Gold
Aemanyl    July 2, 2023, 2:03 a.m.

First of all, congratulations to the author for releasing his first mission. Right from the very beginning, Condemned Catalogue captivates you with excellent old school design, thick with an atmosphere of mystery and constriction. As a warm-up, we start in a narrow alley and explore a few accessible buildings before we enter the main area of the...
