I sent your review to Andrea and he was absolutely thrilled that you liked it so much. This is what he said: "I had to read it some times before understanding all the sentences. I received about 50 emails from the first release of Basement saying very good words about that mission. But this time I got touched. I never thought that Thief could give me so many and great satisfactions. I hope to do my best with the fortress..." Keep up the good work, Max. These reviews are terrific!
