=====================================================================================================
* Story *
You are Haunty von Joinus, the haunt who has been haunting the
catacombs below the mechanist seminary for many years. However you
have grown tired of patrolling the same hallways for what seems to
have been an eternity, so you decide to bid farewell to your friend,
break out of the seminary and find something more worthwhile to haunt.
The exit is blocked by a magical barrier, which can only be passed by holding
the Talisman of Death. You need to first destroy the four elemental talismans.
Doing so will give you access to the Talisman of Death.
=====================================================================================================
* Our goal *
We wanted to take an OM and give it a totally different story without altering the mission. Therefore the
changes to the original mission are minimal; a handful of brushes were added and a couple of hundred objects
were replaced, mostly ambient sounds and scripting elements.
Our goal was to provide you with a unique experience and let you view the Thief world from a totally different
angle. Above all, we wanted to make you think.
===================================================================================================
* Important Notes *
- You are a haunt. You can run faster with your hammer drawn, so don't tuck it away. Being a haunt, you
don't have an inventory; therefore all the items that appeared as junk before might play a more important
role in this mission. Finally, you don't have the hiding skills of Garrett. There is no light gem.
You can still hide in the shadows, but not as effectively as Garrett does.
- Haunts don't see the world as the living do, so don't adjust your TV sets.
- Don't save during the opening conversation, it might break the mission.
- Don't go too fast. Slow down and read whatever there is to be read.
* Known Problems *
- The overlay effect at the end can cause flicker on the screen when jumping up, going through doorways or
climbing stairs and ladders.
- Some beta testers have experienced sudden death (SHAS) on rare occasions.
- The huge crate has texture problems on the top and bottom sides.
