Well done, thanks.

Lovely small mission with suprisingly large areas outside the main location.

I had really some difficulties finding the

Button in the fireplace.

Seems like I am totally out of shape in looking all the nooks and crannies nowadays.

Thank you for making this mission, I had a lot of fun playing it. I personally like these small gems more than the larger ones.

TBH, I played quite a few large missions lately which lacked the details of the smaller or medium szied missions (in TDM and Thief 1/2 fan missions).

I'm really more for quality (detail) than size.

Yes, what you said.

Also, for me, I have good sneaking stamina for approximately 1 h. After that I run out of energy and get sloppy, and I start making mistakes.

Therefore this kind of max 1 h sneaking mission is perfect for me.

Yea, me too. If a mission drags on for too long I start getting bored and burning out. I need to have a somewhat frequent sense that I'm getting somewhere and achieving something. 

I also get overwhelmed when large missions have too many little things to do and too many paths to choose from. I tend to keep a mental note every time I find a fork on the road, to come back later and try the other path, so if there's too many forks my brain explodes...

What drove me to make a small mission was more of a need to keep it small for a first mission, but I don't intend to make any future missions much bigger. Or at least not larger than necessary. As @chakkmanmentioned, small missions are easier to enrich with interesting details.
