The Subconscious Trials

Mod review

I absolutely loved the majority of this, the puzzles were interesting and unique, the environments were very detailed with the later levels containing quite a few custom models, and the story kept me interested. I think the only part that irritated me was the labyrinth where I couldn't walk 5 feet without being teleported somewhere random. After 20 minutes of dealing with that, I commented out the line triggering the teleportation and completed the level in 2 minutes. Not sure if it was something I was doing wrong, but there was seemingly no way to avoid the random ghost thing that kept appearing on top of me. I also had a strange bug in the zero g section where activating zero g put my framerate to approximately 5, but that was fixed with a restart of Amnesia. Some of the platforming was quite finicky, especially when you cannot see your feet, but I was elated when I finally succeeded after missing the same chair for the umpteenth time. There were also a few areas where my framerate tanked for no real reason, but I think that was due to the size of some maps. Don't think HPL 2 copes with large areas very well.
This should certainly be more popular and I would recommend to anyone.
