Before I could get anywhere on Room 1, I had to turn down the 'AI hearing' setting to 2/4. That - for me - made things playable but still challenging. Am currently starting Room 3. I appreciate the Intro tells me I can go into Settings and adjust difficulty settings. But I would've preferred the more traditional Easy/Medium/Hard settings to choose from. I know having 7 Difficulty options to adjust provides flexibility, but it took me a while to work out which I should adjust to make it work for me.

I thought I had done all 16 cheeses, but then saw there wasn't a Red Tick against this under Objectives. So had to go on a Cheese Circle Tour, and eventually found the cheese in the City Hall had got kicked out of position.

werner - thanks, I have now found the 16th circle. Strangely it was the Which is not particularly difficult to find. Particularly since it was clear early on that you needed to check all the to see what was there. But I somehow missed that one(!)

STRUNK - thanks. First there are the 8 circles that MirceaKitsune quotes for Easy difficulty: Then I have also found: What am I missing please?

MirceaKitsune: I would be grateful if you could give a list of the 8 'hard' circles, that are not on the above list. I have 15 circles, but am spending forever not finding the 16th - many thanks.

Ah just found a

This is the door in the NE corner of the map. It is certainly frobable, but not lock-pickable.

I have so far found 15 circles, and used 15 pieces of cheese. Yay. There is one area I haven't managed to get into. And may even contain the 16th circle. How do I get into I would welcome a hint.

I decided to do this on Expert, so I have to find 16 circles. And 16 pieces of cheese. So far I've found two(!) That's fine, I (mostly) welcome the challenge. But what I would find useful, is if the circle changed colour - or something - when you'd fed it with cheese, so you knew you'd done that circle.

I think I got into the elevator downstairs without them noticing, and went upstairs. I was upstairs a while before he tried to come up. Maybe I was making too much noise?

Okay. I'm on the top floor of the warehouse, and a guard starts coming up in the elevator. He comes about 2/3 of the way up, then goes back down again. I presume the other downstairs guard is pressing the downstairs call button? This repeats many times. I look over the edge of the lift shaft to see what is going on. The guard in the elevator sees me, and tries to throw something at me. this rebounds off the side of the lift shaft, and hits him instead. This repeats many times. At which point, a) He DIES, and b) I lose the game because he died(!)

Frost Don't get me wrong - I greatly appreciate 'challenging' Which is why I normally do missions on Difficult. And I don't mind if I spend half an hour working out how to get past a particular 'obstacle'. If there ends up being a couple of areas where I have to come here for hints, then the difficultly is probably about right(!)

I have got to the end, and found it very challenging and enjoyable. Much appreciated. Some general feedback. 1) The first time I found the Warwick Tower caretaker, I didn't find what I needed to go the next step in the Tower. I went back later, expecting there to be a master key I failed to spot. Which you might expect a caretaker to have. Only because I read in this thread there was a did I know to look for one. A hint in a readable would have seemed appropriate (or did I miss it?) 2) On the outward trip to Fishend, the game was semi-linear, which I found helpful, because it was not always straightforward how to progress to the next area. a) Early on it was evident that the next step was to get into the Art Dealers. b) And when I first reached the Armoury, there seemed no way forward. But because I knew there had to be one, and other options I tried didn't work, I eventually worked out what the route had to be. 3) I eventually found the room with Should I have guessed? Based on ethnicity? 4) I read in this thread what to do about the Clarice objective, but couldn't make it work. So gave up, since it was optional. 5) I did this on Difficult, but only found 7200 out of the target 8000 loot. So clearly I missed stuff, and that's on me. But at least that Objective was optional too.

Oh that was annoying. I had previously picked up: They were sitting happily in my Inventory. I then forgot about them(!)

Frost Thanks. I'm pretty sure I remember knocking out a Clifford Norman, I just can't remember where(!) But I will retrace my steps . . .
