There is very little I can say about this, the level design was pretty simple, scripting usually consisting of finding keys and opening locked doors, which is nothing new. Story was average. At the end, I got bugged in Sewers and even after applying the patch and using one of your saves, I got frozen on the spot, unable to move. After watching some walkthroughs on Youtube, many players ended up the same way. Before releasing make sure your game actually works! So…not much remains to be said... ‘Goodbye world’!

Ok, this episode was a little bit better than the previous one, yet there is still a lot of work to be done. It was incredibly long and in many parts also quite boring and annoying. The task you put before us were repetitive. I was usually supposed to find a key or turn on the machine, again and again. The maps were averagely done and sometimes empty, you should pay more attention to details. Missing sounds of falling water, billboards could be also handled better. I liked the custom entities and static objects in bathroom or lava areas, looked pretty cool. There were several bugs which made me unable to continue like the vaccine quest, after I combined the tube and needle, the quest kept on repeating that tools are missing and I had to reload the game. There wasn’t enough or none hints. There was incredible amount of enemies, thrown into my face. Voice acting was quite good. Overall, there are a lot of things to improve, good luck with part 3.

I give this 3/10. I am sorry, wish I could give more, but after playing and finishing this story, I just can’t. I understand this is your first custom story, but there are many creators whose first custom story was much better than yours. You showed some promise and obviously you know how to script and make maps, but you made all the wrong decisions. Maps were completely empty filled with a lot of bugs. Enemies were thrown into you face. Most of the puzzles were ‘find the key’ which gets annoying after a while. Too long, lacked atmosphere, not even story could support it. Sorry to say, but the story wasn’t about search for Xenophilius, but about search for keys. Your notes and grammar is atrocious; if you don’t speak English well, why didn’t you give it to someone for corrections? I probably wouldn’t finish it, if it wasn’t for episode 2, which looks much more promising. Hope the story will redeem itself.
