Fantastic CS

I tracked this a while back and I'm really glad I did.
The premise is simple. You have to escape, but to do that you have to go to the deepest regions of the castle and back again.

There's a goal, a reason to throw yourself into torture chambers, not simply, I HAVE AMNESIA AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO GUESS ILL JUST GO BACK IN THE DUNGEONS AGAIN.

Guy says it's his first story and he didn't even know how to script before making this. This is one of the finest CS's I've played in a long time. Please make another one sir, it was a fun ride. It was also very scary and had a really unnerving atmosphere. Excellent pacing that kept me guessing again and again. You might THINK you know what's gonna happen next but you really don't. There are no generic "pick up key and monster spawns" encounters here. They all make sense and surprise the **** out of you.

The first thing I would like to say is thank you to the author for the fast and efficient help when I requested it. I was unable to do the dog area due to a bug. Once we got that problem addressed I was finally able to finish my LP.

This custom story had some very unnerving atmosphere. The level design was unique and had some interesting transitions, such as travelling through an Iron Maiden in a prison to come out from another in a completely different outdoor environment. The train area was a nice touch too, and definitely not anything I had expected. Keep making stories man, and I'll keep playing em.

Lastly I just want to say I agree with the majority call here on an anti-climatic ending, but other than that a quality cs and one definitely worth a playthrough.

The CS was decent, could have been better. I finished the game in 4 parts, unnecessarily short for a Full Conversion. Nevertheless, I certainly enjoyed the experience. The story was a bit lacking honestly. But the level design was very good, and made this mod stand out. The abstract dream world was a neat idea too, but every door I tried in there crashed the game. I will give your next project a go for sure and I've done a let's play on this if you're interested.
