I decided to bring this project back. I know the solution for most of the problems I had, and I will finish this mod though I said I won't.
okay, i actually enjoyed this one. the level design especially is a huge improvement on your last mod. you used custom assets well, your rooms were detailed properly and you made some nice unique spots here and there. great! now sadly i cannot really say the same thing for the rest of the mod..
the atmosphere was also pretty (fitting custom music most importantly) and the puzzles were even somewhat entertaining at points. but i haven't encountered anything i hadn't experienced before. that creativity from the level design could be imported into the events section as well! i accepted the lack of story, as i expected the gameplay to deliver in its place. but i wasn't totally satisfied in the end. if i really have to sum it up in short, i had to explore a lot of rooms with mostly nothing useful inside (even the resources weren't necessary), find keys, press buttons and step aside from a few monsters who were barely a threat. things that could have made things more interesting:
- Monsters patrolling around while you try to explore and find solution to progress (in a much darker environment)
- Random events for minor jumpscares, or build up tension with sound effects for a monster encounter that may or may not come, etc.
i liked this mod, still. my advice next time (since i hope there is a next time, you have potential in this) is either try to wrap an interesting story around the exploration part and make the atmosphere of the levels more disturbing and sinister, or make intense and unique gameplay instead of those, hell even try to come up with both if you have the time and patience! but i'd say one of these are necessary to achieve greatness in an amnesia mod.
take your time, pause the work if it's too much then resume it later. no one's rushing you :D
7/10, you're on a good way of making an outstanding mod next time, this one's already decent!
Shyrtexx himself asked me to rate this
Well here you go OwO
It's bland af, with glitches everywhere.
There's nothing going on here in all honesty. No story means we don't know why the brute is in that mansion, we don't know why we need the knife and there's not much motivation to keep going forward.
The button puzzle was so weirdly placed and really confusing. All other puzzles are key finding puzzles or pulling random levers, which for some reason compared to button quest were very easy to find.
You've come a long way from here till now, but we all start off somewhere and most of the time it ain't that great. This is one of your first mods. It ain't that great, but it's very obvious to me you've learned from this experience and have improved a lot with your newer work
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.
Kind of boring, and rooms/maps had no character to them. Thanks for the half hour of gameplay though.
The levels themselves are well made and unique! But there was not much going on (only couple scary moments and enemy encounters) it wasn't much scary.
This mod have average level design, but I like gameplay which is quite interesting.
boring af
Well, finished it, wasn't bad. Has atmosphere but ain't really scary (like 2 scripted encounters and that's it). Some puzzles were weird, or as simple as finding hidden item yet I had no bigger problems in completing the tasks given. Design is overall beyond average though glitching walls can be seen here and there. Mod is ok to be played for atmosphere but there's no serious story behind it (I found out why I even appeared in that "mansion" at the end of the game heh), would recommend, but no revelations
Not that much content but still alright.
Ok... This is maybe Best cs that I played ever.
