    The Tell Tale Heart

    I just finished creating my very first mission in SmallVerse! It's a rough recreation of a mission I had created in the original game that retells the story of Edgar Allan Poe's classic 1843 short story. Here, you'll take the role of the unreliable narrator as he recounts the night he murdered the beloved old man and attempts to convince you of his sanity. The mission makes use of the original text, but introduces a few modern SmallVerse twists. Other than the fact that you might need a dictionary to decipher a few words, the mission is fairly easy and straightforward. There's also a "secret" bookcase that you can use if you need some hints. I just submitted the mission for approval, so hopefully that goes through quickly. In the meantime, I'd love to hear any feedback - especially if I need to make some last minute tweaks.

    MISSION NAME: The Tell Tale Heart
    SPACE: Raven Manor (https://www.smallverse.app/space/d20...b03ca0f59ceb7a)
    XP PATH: Social

    DESCRIPTION:
    TRUE! NERVOUS — very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily — how calmly I can tell you the whole story. // We are pleased to welcome you to Raven Manor for a retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s 1843 short story, The Tell Tale Heart. The manor is home to many curious tales — but none as chilling as that of the villainous murder of an innocent old man.
