Mod review

I wish to praise DeAngelo for making this mod, since it's quite a unique experience.I find it to be a pity that my review cannot be as positive as I had hoped since this mod also packs quite some flaws.

What first comes to mind is that the custom stories suffers from it's leveldesign. Suffering from some basic mapping issues such as flickering textures, objects not lining up correctly and overal bland/empty rooms lacking detail.

Secondly, and probably the most frustrating element in this mod, are some of the puzzle sections. Puzzles consist out of: check everything, whilst leaving you clueless over where to find such an object. The worse part is that more often than not, the objects to be found are places in extremely illogical places. Thank god for the help file in the mod's folder!

The last thing that kinda dissapointed me is the lack of voice acting. In a custom story where emotion is important and there are long conversations with a few characters, voice acting could really beef it up.

Having said this, I want to go on by praising DeAngelo for the following:
The story is unique and very well created. Some parts of the story are very memorarable and very well done! There are a lot of new things being tried in this custom story and most of these turn out very nice!

The story takes us on a journey throughout interesting and diverse areas. Although some of the maps have some flaws in them, many are quite unique and fit the story's vibe perfectly. The same goes for the music. I found it to be a good companion to your mod(with the exception of the arrogance part)

Conclusion:
+ Unique story
+ Nice custom music
+ Unique maps

- No voice acting
- Bland and empty rooms
- Basic mapping mistakes
- Puzzle design (intensily frustrating)

It was quite a dillema rating this cs. I rated this with an 8 because I enjoyed playing through the mod and found it to be a breath of fresh air. Know that the flaws stated above prevent this from being absolutely top-notch! Keep it up!
