A Living Nightmare by John Denison Apr. 6/06

[UliB]

Hi,
there is a new FM at Cheap Missions:

http://www.thiefmissions.com/info.cgi?m=LivingNightmare

Sounds interresting, huh

[Sluggs]

Ahhh, it's here eh? Downloading...

[john9818a]

Thanks Jason.

Please read the warning on the DarkLoader screen. This FM has some content that is not suitable for children.

There is a conversation at the beginning. It is critical that the conversation take place so please don't try to interupt it. It is only motion/walking so don't expect dialogue.

Hint: The first objective says to go to the tower, well the tower is located near the front desk.

Lastly, I hope that this FM confuses everyone like it did me.

Thank you Nightwalker for compiling a loot list. You can download it from here.


Edit 10/13/06 There is a special room with near-zero gravity. It's not a good idea to drink the slow-fall potion while in this room, because the gravity returns to 100%, and you most likely will die when hitting the bottom. If you are already down, you'll never get out.

[Sluggs]

Jobs done... Time to play!

Is the way to the Tower locked? I can see the tower plain enough but finding the entrance to it, is another thing! I don't want to know where it is, i just need to know if i should be looking for a key or not.

BTW, this is looking fantastic John. I'm amazed!

Near the front desk eh? Hmmm... I'll check that again. That front desk, i'm sure, is ripped from the Cradle!

Found it! Pretty neat way of getting there too!

Share the info with the rest of us Sluggs.

Good work John! Finally we can see Mr Oh Dear in action

Go into the front desk, push a button, look up. You'll need a rope arrow.

[nickie]

Don't know how I managed it but

spoiler:

I didn't see the button and wriggled past the lamp ending up being transported straight outside where whatsisname is being shot at.

Unfortunately I was too late. He died. Darn it.

[Sluggs]

Had a similar experience. I was riding one of the little elevators and i sort of got trapped and thrown outside!

[Yandros]

For this mission, I'll stop working on my own! Just wondering though why the archive is named "Betrayal". Was there a last second change in the mission's title?

How far have you gotten in the mission?

[azrarhn]

Congrats with the release of your fm John!

[Jack Lee]

Very nice mission UliB!

By the way, how on earth can you get the crypt key from Oh Dear's belt? Killing him doesn't really solve the mystery...

[maloo]

I am at a point now where i have to get to the crypt, problem ive got one locked door( right near the beginning) and a iron gate thing out in the yard that i can't get passed. Anyone up for giving me a clue?

Thanks

I need only one thing from Joe yet...

I've got the glasses, the dice and the flute. But one thing to activate the teleport is missing... please help me!

Nightwalker informed me that there was a FM called Betrayal: Voices, so I changed the name. Betrayal still plays a part in this FM.

Very nice mission UliB!

Not so fast there

spoiler:

Once he is free you can either grab it from him while he is running to the front (don't let him see you) or you can sneak up on him. Mr. Oh Dear likes to stand around in the strangest places. I spent countless hours luring him up the stairs, and then sneaking up on him to give him a round of BJ's

Thanks Sluggs I even used one of your rox at the beginning.

[nickie]

Am I not supposed to be able to

pick up Oh Dear Snr's crypt key? I've got one from Joe.

Is it a level thing - playing on chicken or whatever easy/normal is.

Also I'm confused by where the

cafeteria is.

[john9818a]

There is only one key that can be obtained, and it is on

spoiler:

Mr. Oh Dear Senior's belt. He is the one wearing the burgandy and white spandex uniform.

All of the difficulties are the same except for some minor differences. All objectives and object placement are the same.

[nickie]

Okey dokey - thank you.

spoiler:

Spandex. Nice!

But what about the

cafeteria - those dratted glasses I need

OK, got that - thought he was a little young to be Snr so thought he was

Joe

[john9818a]

The cafeteria is the large room inbetween the two patient wings. There are two tables in the middle, and a fireplace on one wall.

[nickie]

Thank you very much! That's the last item. But not sure I want to descend into the
