Fan Mission: The Hare in the Snare, Part 1

[Bibliophael]

I absolutely loved this mission, even if I had a devil of a time scraping up the last hundred or so gold of loot. My only complaint might be that some of the buttons are indeed perhaps a bit too small, but I love the characterization through all the different documents, the richly detailed spaces, multiple avenues of approach, and random world details that one eccentric gentleman who

managed to choke his exotic 'pet' to death with a spoon.

I sincerely hope a sequel is still on its way.

 New release: Version 4!

It turns out that I had a bunch of fixes queued up for this FM since 2021, and then kind of forgot about them.  But then recently, @Kerry000 decided that the intro video needed updating (see here) so we decided to do a full update.

Most changes are cosmetic, but there are a couple of gameplay changes, notably:

Spoiler

• The loot goal on expert has been lowered
• you now need a key to access the 'Staff only' closet
• the infamous lightgem difficulty settings have been removed
• reduced the amount of lockpicking needed
• some secrets should be a bit easier to find

For full list of changes, see here (possible spoilers!): https://github.com/FrostSalamander/hareinthesnare/releases/tag/v4

Thanks to @Mat99 @Shadow @Cambridge Spy @DavyJones for beta testing the new release.

@nbohr1more could you please update in the TDM database? This version should align as the previous one was version 3.

Thank you @Frost_Salamander !

The mission database has been updated

It took me a while to get round to setting everything up for my new Windows 11 computer, but now here's a much-needed playthrough of Version 4:

I remember playing this back 3 or 4 years ago and I absolutely loved it, it's great how there are so many things to look and find, such as that...Uh, what the hell was that thing even?

Spoiler

It looked like a Birdman of sorts?

Anyway, for just an Inn mission, there's some things to do here and there, I absolutely love that. This is one reason I love Thief missions that take place in Inns and you've done it to perfection!

I am only sad at one thing; it's been about some years and there's no Part 2, not even in the works, yet? I really hope to see it one day...

Does this mission have a sequel?
