I am not going to lie, this session was a real struggle for a while. Not so much because of the game, which is still great despite some interface troubles I will get into. But because these last three sessions were essentially me keeping notes in an Excel sheet and then writing those notes into prose that read more like math homework than a blog about a game. I am happy to report that the game did pick up on story bits again at the end, but until then it’s going to be a bunch of facts and numbers.
In the previous episode, we’ve burgled the Jeweller, got arrested for 24 hours as part of the story, sold our stolen goods, and are now left with 2398 pounds and no clear direction. Time to look at the available targets, and it’s clear that the next heist is going to be art:
- Suterby’s: Not to be confused with Christie’s and Sotherby’s, it’s a smaller auction house
- Chiswick House: An old, aristocratic mansion
- Osterly Park House, Isleworth: One of the many country houses around London, having its walls covered by precious paintings instead of wallpaper
- Ham House, Richmond: Another country house with impressive hedges
