Abducted by Billy (Challenge Mod)

Mod review

I couldn't even bring myself to finish this custom story. For a number of reasons which I'll get to in a second, this custom story is probably the worst I've played so far, which is a dissapointment for me.

The nummber of bugs, the small size of each section, lack of mementos, the vagueness of the walkthrough which I tried to use BECAUSE the game itself was vague in telling me what the hell I was supposed to do. Well, it was either vague or explained in such a way which didn't make any sense.
Sure, I could watch a let's play to see how I should progress further, but it shouldn't even get to that point. When not even the game nor the walkthrough explain in good enough detail what you're supposed to do, the score will drop by a lot. Let's not forget the bugs, as I said. Numerous bugs which had me restarting from the beginning or from an earlier point. Please bug test your custom stories, mod makers.
The only good thing about this custom story is the music and the subtle humour in the cutscenes which may or may not have been intended.
I must give props to the author because he came up with many MANY new ideas, but which ultimately fall flat because they've been poorly executed.
One last complaint is the story. Again, I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Jigsaw, or rather, Billy, doesn't act like the wise criminal he is in the movies, but rather as a mad murderer who kills for fun, which I didn't really mind but felt like it has to be mentioned.

Conclusion: After getting fed up with trying to find NEW sources on the internet which would tell me how to progress, I ultimately deleted the custom story. If it weren't for the numerous bugs I would've probably gave it another chance, but as it stands now, I feel it's a rather weak custom story.
