New Mission
Released May 13, 2008 - A Night in Rocksbourg 3: Ink & Dust in
English and Une nuit à Rocksbourg 3: Encre et poussière in
French, a mission for T2 by DrK
NOTE: You will need custom scripts from Telliamed and Gaylesaver installed to play this mission.
The Mission:
This is the third mission in the A Night in Rocksbourg Series. It continues the story where Discovery, the
second mission ends. Garrett is in the Rocksbourg sewers trying to escape the city. Zombies are everywhere. As Garrett tries to
find a way out, he comes to a dead end and is sure that this is it...when a portal suddenly appears and a voice invites him to
step through to save his life. Garrett has no idea where the portal leads, but it's got to be better than the horde of zombies
chasing him now. So, he steps through the portal...into a strange place much like a monastery. No one helps someone else without
expecting something in return. Garrett's saviour is no different. He will show Garrett the way out, but first Garrett must find a
certain object for him.
Impressions:
This is a wonderfully dark mission which feels much like A New Beginning, the first Rocksbourg mission. The graphics are
unbelievable. You can wander around for hours just looking around. I will certainly play this one over many times. I missed so
much my first time through. You start out undercover, so you are able to explore the South Star area thouroughly. Things get
tougher as the mission progresses and you enter the North Star. It's no surprise that the mission objectives add on as you play.
There are many puzzles to figure out as well as keys to find. The mission is also full of secrets.
This mission had excellent immersion for me. There are several places where my heart stopped and I shrieked or jumped. The Dark
Zone is unquestionably the creepiest, scariest place I've ever seen. The Cradle in Thief Deadly Shadows really bothered me, but
after playing this mission, I don't think it will bother me at all. Ink & Dust has all the creepy noises and all the creatures to
go with the sounds. I hope I don't have nightmares!
Stats:
Playing on Pickpocket Difficulty (Normal), I finished in 04:34:32 with 4605/6500 loot and 3/10 secrets.
Screenshots:
I highly recommend playing ANIR1: A New Beginning/Un nouveau
départ and ANIR2: Discovery/Découverte before you play Ink &
Dust which is a direct continuation of the second mission. You can find help & hints at the Forum Discussion Thread. There are also links there for mission only
and movie only files in English & French.
