Thanks for this creation,
design-wise it was better than Orion. No big mistakes in scripting or object placement, generally a good mod. Liked the setting, kind of like Machine for pigs.
The puzzles... Hmmmm. This is what kills the mood, if you do not know exactly what to do, you will just run around endlessly, just like in any other mod since 2010. Puzzles are a fine thing but hunting for keys, hidden buttons and levers is something Im completely tired of in this engine, sorry.

Hard to rate this, really.

The mod itself is not bad, just there is huge space for improvements.

Does it look good? Yes, and there is not much mistakes, I think I saw one hole in a wall and one clipping texture but overally the mapping is no problem at all.

Does it play good? Well it was very hard for me to enjoy this actually. Some puzzles required looking literally everywhere and without oil Im just blind...

Overally it is a decent mod with good lighting effects, details and many objects to examine, also in the cellar part it gets quite ominous... Just if the gameplay was better... The mod is simply not "my cup of tea" to be honest.

CONFUSED ABOUT THIS ONE!

First thing to say, the lighting effects and overall level design is good. Work input visible, fun minigames, quite enough creativity.
Thats all good, there was art and there were things to praise.

Now the rest: Gameplay was lacking in so many ways that it made it boring more than once. You have to look everywhere, otherwise you get nowhere. There were very few monster encounters but the slime chase scene was brilliant.

This is solid 7/10 but would be much better if the gameplay was not so boring. I literally wanted to quit in the middle as the progress was very, very repetitive.

Positives:
- Great idea
- Entertaining
- Level design and effects

Negatives:
- Lags
(if you do not own a NASA PC, you will suffer framedrops no matter what settings you use)

For the first mod from the creator it is indeed very good! The mod has complexity and variable environments, you can go outside, smart mechanics and jumpscares.
At some points you can feel a little lost but overally it is good and is a fun experience.

It came way later than expected, that is for sure. The creator is good, I know it, he knows it, everybody should know it. That is all, I guess questioning few imperfections here and there is beside the point. I wonder
what to expect next. Cheers.

Once again, not bad but still could be better. Some of the events and noises were good, some areas were interesting. Still, if there will ever be 4th part, I recommend trying harder. Most of the events in all 3 parts were kind of predictable and too many events were triggered by picking up a key. That is all.

Good.
Hard to judge but it was good.

Pros:
+ at least some customization
+ not too boring
+ some custom sounds and well thought events
+ slightly better than the first one

Cons:
- some texture glitches and minor details
- too many poofers and the poofers were were too predictable
- the custom enemy in the later map was not moving
- rather short

Just with some work this could have been much better than it was. It was lacking something. But not bad.

Go call an exorcist, I think there is a work of Satan in there.

I did not play previous versions so I cannot compare the improvements but I will try to write what I experienced when playing.

Pros:
+ voiceacting, it is not 1st class voiceacting but having it in a mod is positive
+ Smart design, fair amount of detail, solutions, I also liked the electrocuted water and solving it was fun
+ No lags, no bugs, no glitches (except I can go through trees), at least from what I saw
+ Short but the gameplay is dynamic and refreshing enough

Cons:
- Even though this is better than majority of short custom stories, it is too "normal" for my taste :) but thats just me really
- Only Grunt enemies and almost no scare potential for experienced player, maybe I missed something but well...
- I was a little confused of what to do and so but that is not really bad thing

Overally: Short, refreshing, not very hardware demanding. If someone wants a fast one-time experience it is good.
