Haven't been around the custom story scene for Amnesia:TDD in a long time due to a majority of custom stories ending up the same, but I just started playing again and came across this gem.

Where do I begin? The story itself is well-written, inspired by the renewed interest of the supernatural in the late 19th century, with some clever references to modern horror media. Visually, it may be one of the most impressive Amnesia CS out there; the level design, the color ambience and the lighting are all just right to set a new mood and flavour for every area you enter. Some of the puzzles, however, could be quite tricky. Especially if you decide to stop playing for a while, only to return and forget what you were supposed to do. Leading to you running back and forth between the chambers interacting with everything and anything randomly to see if it triggers an event or a memento. Meanwhile being scared shitless because of the terrifying sound design for the monster that echoes among the halls. Personal favorite areas of mine were the attic, the observatory and the staircase room, leading to various floors. Some subtle and really clever scares at the latter as well. Though the last chapter was a bit lackluster, I think this mod rightfully deserves a 10/10. And I will be looking forward to any future projects.
