Arkane Lyon level designer and Thief: The Dark Project modder Romain Barrilliot is back with another fan creation – a Thief 2 castle heist Barrilliot calls “by far my most ambitious work in the Dark Engine to date”, presumably including his previous group project The Black Parade, despite being “purely based on vibes”. Called Reflections In Red, it’s a sequel to Barrilliot’s Winds Of Misfortune, though it works well as a standalone release. It’s also based on a real-life castle so preposterous I have no choice but to immediately steal the deeds from what I assume is a heavily fortified bank vault inside a creepy mountain somewhere.
This sounds like an exciting addition for Thief fans! It’s great to see talented designers like Romain Barrilliot continuing to create immersive experiences. Looking forward to hearing more about the gameplay and features.
