Help Wanted: Beta Testers -- "The Terrible Old Man"

[Ansome]

 "...to a robber whose soul is in his profession, there is a lure about a very old and feeble man who pays for his few necessities with Spanish gold."

Good day, TDM community! I'm Ansome, a long-time forums lurker, and I'm here to recruit beta testers for my first FM: "The Terrible Old Man", based on H.P. Lovecraft's short story of the same name. This is a short (30-45 minute), story-driven FM with plenty of readables and a gloomy atmosphere. Do keep in mind that this is a more linear FM than you may be used to as it was deemed necessary for the purposes of the story's pacing. Regardless, the player does still have a degree of freedom in tackling challenges in the latter half of the FM. If this sounds interesting to you, please head over to the beta testing thread I will be posting shortly. Thank you!

-Do forgive the screenshots being a bit dark or vague in this post, I can only show so much without spoiling the second half of this FM that is best experienced firsthand.

Welcome to the forums Ansome!

And congrats on making it to beta phase!

Wait a minute - wasn't Down By The Riverside based on this Lovecraft work? Anyway, I'll be glad to do some testing for you.

@Cambridge Spy Goodness, I hadn't played that one! I'm still slowly making my way through the FM catalogue, but how funny that what I thought was a "deep pull" in terms of Lovecraft stories had already shown up here in one form or another. Well, at the very least this is a fully-fledged adaptation of the story, so it should still be fresh content.

The beta testing thread is up a bit early, lest I forget to make one:
