This is the first mission I played that was made by Melan, and I can certainly see what lies in store for me. Good things. Although I think navigation is a bit of an issue in this mission, it has a really nicely set-up level layout. There is not much to see, but what's there to see is great and feels interesting to discover. The level actually feels larger than it is, which makes exploration feel engaging.

The story is interesting, portraying a time before the Mechanists became the powerhouse they were by the time of Thief II. However, this seems to be a bit more of an alternate universe. The Mechanists live in an old, stone church with little to it. Their watchers are Thief I's old light-cones, and the robots are funny, toy-esque things. This mission is a Thief II mission with Thief I assets, which lends it a unique vibe and is cool to think about.
