This is an interesting "dual plot" mission, where a single mission can be played with two different plotlines.

Need to say more ?

Get it

This FM is amazing, brace yourself if you didn't like the cradle or deceptive perceptions .

Hallo Uli,

schon dabei!

Let`s give it a try

[marycwmbach]

I'll give a go as well.
When I get stuck will come back to this thread.

That...damn(ed) hospital is scary.. in a get-me-the-hell-out-of-here way..
Edit: Beaten both. Thanks for the great mission(s)

[metal dawn]

Whoa! Two missions in two days! I'm off. Congratulations to Gloria Creep and Dark Arrow.

[Martin Karne]

Oh I am ready for more torture chambers, oh yes peel my skin alive you evil man/woman/zombie/it.
Erm more custom gameplay.

[bdkl]

I'm almost through the hospital level . This is one of the best short missions ever with great sounds to match amazing visuals .

[TheNightTerror]

Finally, after fighting my modem to hell and back, I got this mission. Sun has set, and I don't give a damn if it's Saturday night and I have my hair all done up fancy for no reason. In my opinion, Thief all night long, preferably scary missions, is a party good enough for me.

[Gloria Creep]

Thank you Metal Down and others who like this FM.
But ........ I was just the storyteller for thew hospitalidea. Dark Arrowdid all the hard work. I couldn't even test it, because of a downloading failure on my computer
So I think it's HIM you have to honour for this one.
Can't wait to play it myself see how my horror dreams are looking like in the "real" Thiefworld.

Still, I'm a bit proud to read these comments...hehehe

Dark Arrow: I'll drink to you for a job well done!!!
Thanks for letting me inspire you!

I finished. Two missions (three if you count this one's 2 different scenarios) finished on the days of their debut. That's a new record for me.

[Norman Druart]

Spiders vs. undead. heh heh.

[SirFreddieM]

The titel alone sounds very promising and sort of creepy. Can't wait to play this.

Yay!

Um, if I duck under the two choice signs and bash open the door, which mission is the default? Hehe.

[Dark Arrow]

Some info about the mission:
First of all, if some FM designer thinks that setting up a multiplot mission would be a great idea (and save time) think again. I wanted to test the idea, and it didn't work out.

Originally the idea was to have a triple plot mission, but I had to cut the last (vampire plot by Wynne) off, because the hospital ate too many objects. However, when I reached the point where I came to the conclusion that I couldn't do the third mission, I had already made too many compromises and I didn't want to go back and change the already complete architecture of the hospital. In short, if you get an idea of making a multiplot mission, dump it and just concentrate in making one of the plots. No need to do compromises then.

I do hope that you people like the FM. Sorry, about not making it exactly like you wished it to be Gloria.

Yay!

Um, if I duck under the two choice signs and bash open the door, which mission is the default? Hehe.

Oh bloody....I guess you would have both and neither.

Inside info:

spoiler:

I set it so that frobbing the signs will delete either of the mission's objects. It will also set some quest variables, so the objectives and the map will not function properly. I won't lie, if you want to break it, you most likely can. It shouldn't break on its own, though.

So what did you people think about the doctors? Has anyone dared to do a close inspection?

[Camus]

spoiler:

This has to be the most scary fm i played, and i played very close to all of them.
All the noise/voices + Marble floors had me spinning around with my sword drawn more times than i can remember.

spoiler:

And the guy in the chair made me freeze up for nearly a minute

Thanks, great work Dark Arrow

[Verna]

Hello there, very scary mission , I've finished the Ghost house but ..

spoiler:

it seems there is a secret area in the basement, I have no clue how to open it?

can some one give me a clue?

[Sir Lance]

Great mission so far. I love to see new classic characters and I think the doctors could be one for scary missions. I'm afraid they are now FULLY deceased!!!! Now to work

spoiler:

out how to destroy the heat in the secret lab!! I've read a number of scolls but haven't found the two objects I think I need yet.

[TheNightTerror]

So what did you people think about the doctors? Has anyone dared to do a close inspection?

Me being me, I ran in there, sword equipped, thinking they couldn't be that bad . . .

A few seconds after running face to face into one of them, and screaming bloody murder, my mom pounded on the wall between my room and her office and hollered "are you still playing that damned game?"

Definitely a fun little number. And scary as hell. Haven't leapt out of my skin that many times or outright screamed at something I saw since . . .

Actually, I gotta think about that now. Since my first time through System Shock 2? Perhaps . . .

@verna,

spoiler:

that is the basement of the hospital, not accesible on the ghost house.

[UliB]

Sir Lance:

spoiler:

i also searched them for a long time. look in the room where you found a health and a speed potion and also holy water.

Great atmosphere with all the sounds around. Indeed one of the most scariest missions ever (haunted hospital). these doctors are really evil

the basement in ghost house: is accessible later on

[Sir Lance]

Thanks UliB but I don't get it.

spoiler:

All I can find in the room is a deadly girl ghost over the "water feature" whom I can't kill as I've run out of water arrows. The only room I think I haven't been to is behind the metal door at the far end of the derelict church but I don't have the key to open it.

[UliB]

Sir Lance:

spoiler:

search the laboratory. nearby is a chirurgical room with 2 ghost-zombies

Sorry for being not clear.

[Sir Lance]

Thanks UliB .. on my way!!! While I was stuck on the hospital I tried the house .....

spoiler:

completed in 10 mins - that must be a record for me!!!!!

[Verna]

I am playing the hospital very scared !!!!!
