I'm currently playing Amnesia primarily, and so I joined so that I may access a greater amount of custom stories and a community who plays them.

So I've decided to start a blog through which I hope to be able to keep track of my ideas involving new Amnesia custom stories and whatever else I feel is relevant.

Alright so my first idea, and this is the one that I entered the Amnesia world with, is to put a man in a coma, he wakes up in a room that is familiar, and yet he is sure he's never been in it before. As if he had awoken into an immediate deja vu state. The room is well furnished, comfortable, and well-decorated, and he feels completely calm and at ease despite his curious circumstances.
Unknown to the man, he is still in a comatic state. He has awoken in the stable part of his conscious, where he could remain for the rest of his life, but to do so would certainly mean that he would never be able to awaken, and so he is forced to travel deep within his own unconscious to discover the cause of his comatic state, battling repressed fears, dark secrets, and the evil machinations of his own mind.
The plan was for him to voluntarily leave the calmness of his conscious and dive deep into the perils of his unconscious, facing fears which might include heights, water, darkness, and many others, whilst evading his own mind's shadow, which represents doubt and depression. If he succumbs he shall surely never awaken.
Along the way he finds various notes which he vaguely remembers reading, which attributed to some of his fears, but also his own rationalizations and ideas which can be used to solve puzzles. He also finds entries from his journals which have similar values, and also clear up how he was put into a coma.
The conclusion would consist of him overcoming his various fears, and then finally his doubt, which enables him to awaken from his nightmarish subconscious.

The theme I would choose for this custom story in terms of music would be Scarborough Fair, as I feel the idea of a person posing a series of impossible tasks upon a person to prove themselves is an acceptable theme of song for this story, and the song itself is fairly solemn, and yet it's catchy and I find it to be enjoyable. I might consider using it for other custom stories as well.

Seconds after writing this, I had to go listen to Scarborough Fair again.
