wow it's been so long since I played Emma's story! (I'm actually going to replay it tonight :P) It's lovely to see there will be a continuation! I'm hyped!! Good luck ^^

Hmmm seeing as it's your first custom story I won't vote beecause it'd be rather poor rating(I could give you 4 at most) I can see you have some talent but you're wasting it! There are a few troll moments in your custom story. I'll give you 2 examples that disgusted me : The fleshy wall that you're supposed to 'destroy'? It turned out you're simply supposed to click on it and there you go you just pass through it?.. That's gotta be pure trolling instead of a bug (smh) The 2nd thing that was outrageous was the Brute in the Servant's Room. Why did you make it like this? I'm just beyond words.. What exactly did you try to do here?.. Prove players that 'Monsters hurt, you know?'.. Really?.. Oh. my. god. We've played enough Amnesia to know that already. So.. Why are you killing the player without giving them the option to escape??.. If you've played enough custom stories you'd know that this is completely unacceptable. Such moments literally drive me crazy seeing as they're completely pointless and unnecessary, mmkay? Making the player collapse and get killed instantly is NOT making things challenging* (sigh) I'm sorry if I sound rude but I'm just trying to tell you to avoid making moments like these when you work on your next custom story. Have a nice day and good luck with your future projects :)

Looks freaking gorgeous! ^^

Another high-quality custom story right here! Very well done! Thank you 4 creating it! :)
SPOILERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I'd like to mention 1 little thingy. I completely broke the Brute's AI, the second one in the Cellar which comes out of the portal. He kept running into a few barrels as if I don't even exist.. Well lucky 4 me because I was able tooo proceed undisturbed! :D Btw I found 3 endings, I'm pretty sure you wrote there are 4 altogether. So I missed one.... :(

As soon as you insert the electric fuse and operate the handle, run and activate the lever in the elevator as fast as possible(you have ~7 seconds until the game freaks out). That's the only workaround I found. I tried waiting for it to load or something but it makes me freeze even from two rooms away.. o_x It was pretty frustrating!

Really impressive custom story! It's pretty short though and despite the fact there's a new monster, it can be seen rather rarely considering the encounters number is rather negligible. I see you've released a texture patch but I've already completed the custom story, the only thing I surely noticed was the missing floor of the elevator, at first I thought I was gonna fall down haha :)
Btw I had to speedrun to the elevator right after I placed the electric fuse because a few seconds later I can hear some things starting to move and the game starts running at like 0.022 fps o_O

As soon as I see this custom story having a released status I get excited and then I get sad when I realize it's actually not done yet. How are things coming along? Have a great day :)

Giving up now would mean 3 years wasted. You can put it on hold until you sort everything out. I'll be waiting! Best of luck & stay strong :)

Yeah, it's true, you deserve a break.
You put a lot of passion in your work, that's why you make such awesome custom stories.
You've contributed soooo much to the Amnesia community.
Don't worry, Lange! It's alright. Enjoy life with your loved one :)
Take care ~
We'll be waiting 4 your return ;)
I've been seeing other great developers, like you. So with you gone for an unknown period of time, I'm relieved that we won't be left with troll story-releases only ^^

A small edit :
Just reviewed my Premonition video and saw that this bug happened to an Amnesia : A Machine For Pigs-type of valve as well. Hmm, so much for their stability, then. :c

Lange, I'm gonna write a short review in a second, but I'd like to ask you something here, in the comments section.
I've encountered a bug that happens in a lot of custom stories. It's connected with the valves.
I.e. when you spin a valve to drain water, stop gas leak, etc., after you're done spinning it, and it does its job, the valve starts spinning uncontrollably on its own.
Now I recall, there was only 1 custom story I played in the past that crashed because of that bug. I turned a valve, which started spinning on its own, which caused the game to freeze and crash.
So naturally, as always when there are valves involved, I was worried while playing Premonition as well, because sometimes, when I was done with them, some valves did start spinning uncontrollably on their own in Premonition as well. But in the end, no crash occurred in all cases.
I thought of mentioning it here, instead of in the review. I've noticed this happening in quite a few custom stories. It seems to be a common bug.
Also, please note that I'm actually talking about the Amnesia The Dark Descent-type of valves.
The Amnesia : A Machine For Pigs-type of valves don't seem to have this bug. They seem much more stable to me.

I need help again :<
What do I have 2 do in the room with the crying girl. I'm guessing there must be something connected with the lamp, but I pointed it at pretty much everything in the room, and nothing happens. And the rifles don't seem to budge. I'm missing something..
Help please ~

Yup, the only crash I experienced was at that same place with the mushroom. I was holding the sword, preparing 2 use it, without knowing that it's gonna be done automatically. I replayed it, but I didn't prepare the sword this time, I just went towards the mushroom, and everything went fine.

Hey, Lange!
The mod's looking wonderful so far! I can tell there's a lot of work put into it!
I'm stuck right now.
I'm in a factory, I found the hammer, but where's the chisel? I can't find it :X

Penumbra <3
AstonishinG!
10/10!
Full version, pwease! :>

The puzzles were perfectly explained, so I didn't have trouble solving them :>
This custom story was pretty peaceful and sad.. It reminded me of the custom story Out Of Time, which I really loved!
Oh, and btw.. Merry Christmas! :>

That's great custom story! I really liked the concept behind it! It had lots of notes to read about the background story as well. Pretty cool :p
Sometimes it was annoying when I got transferred back to my bedroom, because I don't think I was done yet(I'm not sure about it though, maybe you've scripted it so that I get transferred once I'm done collecting everything I need in each area). Most notably, I got transferred when I went to the end of the Library & also in the Dungeon, & I'm pretty sure I wasn't done exploring & getting everything, but I got transferred back to my bedroom regardless.. so I had to go back in those places, again.
I think you should've added more monster encounters. I kept reading in the notes, about steel golems, servants & monsters that are supposed to hunt me down, but the encounters were really scarce(2 for the whole story?), and not challenging at all.
The music was really pretty :)
Sad ending. I was expecting it to end like this..
10/10
Keep up the great work & I hope to see more custom stories from you. You're a promising developer ;>

It's a pretty short, but a good continuation to the 1st chapter of Larry's Life. You showed some creativity concerning the intro & the outro. The custom story itself was pretty short though, I completed it in 10 minutes. I think you were in a lot of hurry 2 finish chapter 2. You should take your time & make your custom stories longer, I'm positive that you'd be able 2 create decent long custom stories with nice encounters & storyline(which seems 2 be what you like doing). And btw it was a bit hilarious 2 hear the voice actress of Catherine was..male haha :) It'd have been much better if you had found a female 2 fill that role ;)

It's a pretty decent short map! The idea behind it somewhat reminded me of Slender :> Lots of Grunts lurking about >:) The only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't jump whatsoever, either it was a bug or it was disabled on purpose 2 make my life harder! haha :)

Never mind, I found it :)

How do I get the hammer and where is it?? Tnx in advance!

That's pretty awesome :) Glad 2 hear I'm motivating you :> Let me know if you need any help, I'd be glad 2 try & be a beta-tester, 4 example :> I'll be watching your progress and hopefully, like you're planning, you'll release your custom story in early 2014, maybe like a birthday present 4 me, in February haha :) Good luck :>

This question is hard to give a solid answer to, because it depends solely on the player's pace. I completed it in 8 mins, but then again, I'm a fast player, pretty much a speedruner, despite playing blind haha :)

It's been 1/2 a year since the demo. I'm wondering what's the release date 4 the full version :?

I just finished it :) And I didn't like the ending. It said I failed.. That got me curious, did I miss something :? Does it have only one ending, or there's multiple? Btw, at the snow area in the end, while I was looking for the Poison Gland, I was carrying a stone with me to smash it once I find it, but suddenly, I sank into the floor and fell out of the map haha :)

Running, crouching and jumping don't exist once you enter "The Tomb", thanks to that, I can't progress anymore, that's a huge Failure(!) All that slowing down and the voice talking in my head were just freaking obnoxious, just what were you thinking?? Overall, it's a decent custom story, though..
Rating : 1/10 just because of that Epic Fail(!) that you haven't fixed yet, despite the fact that you had already received feedback from players and moreover it's been more than a year since your last update(!)

Yes, I definitely don't consider myself being just one of those trolls. I apologize once again, I just couldn't finish it :/ I reached some sort of a tomb, picked up a few keys, got chased by some brutes, left the tombs and decided to just give up, I couldn't take it anymore..
Yeah, I definitely agree with you, darkness is cool, adds a lot to the immersion, maybe I should stop uploading to Youtube and just play it for my own experience(I've been actually thinking about stopping, I don't know why..and now you're "suppoting me", kinda, sorta as far as this decision is concerned, so yeah.. I don't even know anymore :(
And as far as my gameplay is concerned, yes, I do have a pretty fast-paced gameplay, some people have told me that already, though I'm aware of it. I'm pretty sure this is because I was practicing because of my plan of doing a speedrun of Amnesia : The Dark Descent, but I totally quit this project months ago, not only because of playing custom stories but also because I've been doing untouchable walkthroughs of the Dead Space series(the only left is Dead Space 3, still working on it :) )
Once again, for the very 10th time, I apologize.
I hope you manage to create the new custom story you're talking about, because you definitely have talent.
Have a great day! :)

Did I miss something, or there's no actual ending? I didn't see any credits.. I got back to my office and then I went back to the factory again but couldn't proceed because my hammer disappeared from my inventory. It was just the same thing all over again. What's up with that :? I'm disappointed. I was expecting much more than that(to be much longer at least) :/

I don't live off Youtube :D I'm simply a perfectionist in real life :) Yes, like I said I never bolster about being a professional. I tend to stay in the shadows and just do what I always do. Of course sometimes, especially as of recently I like to make fun of monsters. Especially when I deal with an obvious troll story, yours isn't one, let me clarify that. I actually read the description but didn't expect it to be THAT "hardcore". I always read descriptions :) I agree, I never speak from the other peoples' name. I only said that I myself, simply find it that way. And it gets even worse because when I don't have oil, the viewer won't be able to see pretty much anything, because I play with low gamma, for immersion purposes, naturally :) There were quite a few tinderboxes, but they're irrelevant to me, because I never use any, because I move fast throughout the levels so I don't bother lighting candles :) I apologize once again, as I said, don't get me wrong... you sure have talent! Please continue with developing but please make sure to find a balance. Because you see, I've noticed that developers don't seem to be able to find a balance as far as oil is concerned. They either give me really excessive amount of oil potions or they give me extremely low ammounts. So I either finish a custom story with 10 oil potions in my inventory in the end, or I end up playing like 70% of the time without a lantern, because of the lack of oil potions, and like I said I'm extremely conservative when it comes to that. Have a great day! And excuse me for the frustrating comment in the beginning of our conversation :)

Obviously the numbers I stated were exaggerated..not too far from the truth though lol I'm not gonna discuss your custom story anymore, I think I've pointed out enough. You don't consider me a professional player? Well maybe you should take a look at my videos before making such conclusion without seeing my gameplay at all. I'm iNLovE!! from Youtube :) I don't usually go around boasting about my skills, I just mentioned that to make sure that you don't say "Hey, that's some noob complaining about how he died 57 times and now he's here to rage" (truth is I didn't die a single time, the monster encounters were actually easy mode, it was just really weird how they attacked with wallhack, everything else was just a pain in the *** to play through though) I know you've put tons of work into this, I apologize I sounded a bit harsh, but I was just simply frustrated after playing it and giving up. You do have talent, but you should take into account the things I mentioned.
