This is an FM with quite a few custom assets and plenty of variety in the places it lets you break into. Your main goal is to enter Lady Volta's manor and steal a recording she made of a visiting nobleman. Your client wants it for whatever reason, be it blackmail or something else. On the way there, you can break into several other buildings and do a couple of side quests.

You play as a fully voiced female protagonist named Clara, and there's some nice custom scripted stuff like an in-game shop you can buy equipment in, and additional optional contracts that unlock rewards once you finish them. There are several fully voiced cutscenes, too, which are pretty fun. It is, overall, not a particularly large mission, but the optional content adds a lot of variety and exploration is usually rewarded. The optional areas include a haunted meat processing factory, a jewelry store, and a guard station, and there's a bit of action to be had on the streets, too. Lady Volta's mansion, where your main objective is located, is well-designed and offers a good challenge with its guard patrols and a few cameras set up to ring the alarm if they spot you (essentially working like Thief 2's Mechanist cameras).

One notable aspect of this mission is the humor. There's a humorous tone throughout, and quite a few crude jokes. My favorite was right at the beginning, where an unconscious guy lies sleeping behind a barricade. A nearby crumpled paper tells him not to eat so much cheese because he's lactose intolerant. When you close the readable, the man will groan and rip a massive fart, appearing in form of a gas arrow cloud emerging from his ass. It's incredibly stupid and made me laugh like an idiot. There's plenty more humorous situations, like the argument between a merchant and a guard at a locked gate. If you like a dose of humor in your FMs, you'll enjoy this one. If you prefer them to be dead serious, you probably won't.

All in all, a very solid FM with some unique features, a unique new protagonist (first time I've seen a female protagonist in TDM), and plenty of variety to keep you busy for an hour or two.
