This DMOD has what I consider to be a nearly perfect balance of difficulty. Some of the baddies were very hard to kill and others went quietly. Some of the creatures and gfx from SOB make another appearence, and thats good because the gfx are way too good to waste on just one mod.

There isn't really much of a plot, but it didn't need one; relying mostly on map design, common sence, and a few mind teasers, TCS sends you in the right direction. As a romp, this DMOD is probably better than any romp to date. In the quest catagory, TCS still holds its own amoung the best. I found no major bugs (small ones like a missing "s" on a word, and the like), and I experienced no hardness errors.

The author started and completed TCS in a mere 3 days, incredible when considering how good, and how fun this mod was to play.

It was nice to get another offering from Simon, and his latest proves that he not only still has 'it', but that romps and quests can be just as fun and just as well made as an epic.
