I can’t play contracts on this location due to a bug, but I hope you can. This is the only one of the three escalations that does not require anything, it can be completed without inventory from the starting point. The only thing you need is knowledge of the area and objects on it.

This line of contracts is already more complicated and in it you may not have a high level of mastery at the location, but it is advisable to have at least one syringe with poison in your inventory. SIEKER 1 is most likely to be needed to pass to SA.

If you want to go beyond the first stage, then you need level 16, and if on SA then 19, as well as a shotgun with a silencer. This is the most difficult of all three escalations, so I wish you the best of luck!
It had a nice ramp up of difficulty while keeping the number of targets consistent throughout and a thoughtful use of complications/kill conditions. It actually made me re-think my route each time and I ended up using 3 different starting locations across the 3 levels.
I’ll hide my playthrough/review so it doesn’t bury any contracts or spoil
My Playthough/Level Reviews
Level 1: Fairly easy as would be expect from level 1. I just syringed all the targets. While initially starting with the Mansion Staff disguise I found it was quicker to start by the detective and kill him first and run to the manor than to wait for him to get there
Level 2: A minor change on Edwards kill condition didn’t change my run too much. However I couldn’t just leave the detectives body by the gates anymore, it was smarter to let him get to the house. So I did use the Mansion Staff start this time. Also the crates are Edward’s and Rebecca’s rooms are placed such that it isn’t a chore to get them there but you have to be careful of other NPCs around. This shows what a good selection of targets you picked
Level 3: A minor change again from the previous level but I meant I had to pick another starting location! Behind Mansion. I followed nearly the same route as level 2 but had to take one or two slight variations to avoid manor staff.
Unfortunately I am a lot less of a fan of this one I’d give it 1½/5
Now I obviously can’t play the Mendoza one at the minute but I’d say this one was much easier than the Dartmoor one. Regrettably though it wasn’t more fun.
Longer review/breakdown
Level 3 would’ve been an okay contract by itself but having to do it three times (because you do the same route every time) was a bit monotonous. I think the main problem was that it didn’t feel like the levels built of eachother as much as it felt like levels 1-2 were just level 3 minus something.
The kill conditions didn’t change in any way, just more targets. The no shots missed was a fun complication but the timer felt unnecessary. It didn’t make me rethink my route to a more efficient way, I was already sub 2:30. So I just repeated my method again just with a clock in the corner this time
Sorry if this comes off as harsh, I’ve generally been a fan of most of your previous stuff Glogol and Dartmoor was great. But this one is a dud for me look forward to when I can play the Mendoza one
Ah, guy in car park, sleeping chair guard on roof, guy who walks on that bridge in the smokestack things in the water, and guy who drinks from a bottle then goes on his phone near the crane drop thing
Anyone remember in 2016 someone from the forum set up a website for people to post their contracts? People were able to rate them and sort them. What ever happened to that? Is it still live?
I don’t remember that but I wasn’t really on the forums that early. I’ve had a dream about making a website like that tho wish I had the technical skills

I know it’s been done and will be done a bazillion times, but I wanted to take a shot at a Carlisle contract myself.
It’s not particularly interesting to play but I tried to replicate the plot of Christie’s novel And Then There Were None the best I could.
By the way, it says you have to use a suit but (Novel spoilers)I actually used the lawyer disguise for obvious reasons if you read the novel.
