The Rift is a short custom story for Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Here are some details:
REQUIRES THE AMNESIA 1.3 UPDATE!
Play time: 30 - 50 minutes
Custom assets: Monsters (credits will be provided)
Voice acting: No
Original story: Yes, but short and sweet.
Jumpscares: Minimal. The Rift follows the original Amnesia way of establishing a horror atmosphere without resorting exclusively to cheap jumpscares. No flying naked bodies. I promise!
This project was a test to see if I could cobble together a custom story in one day. Borrowing the design of one of Amnesia's levels (specifically Alexander's study) allowed me to produce an original custom story in about 8 hours. Nothing too in-depth or long, but sufficiently scary and (hopefully) enjoyable. Though inspired by a level from the original game, it is by no means a copy.
I really hope you enjoy it!

I've made quite a few fixes and changes in this version, which I will lay out below:
- Added a bit more flesh to the story to make it less vague. It's still very brief and succinct, but it has a little more depth now. If I ever expand The Rift into a more full-fledged story, I'll add more in the future.
- Added a simple, but needed introduction.
- Simplified the final puzzle.
- Fixed some monster pathing issues. I'm sure there's still more I can do to make the monsters smarter, but they should get stuck less now.
- Made some simple appearance changes for a few of the levels. Cleaned up some ugly object placement.
- Made a few sound changes.
- Tightened up some timers so the script flows a bit faster.
- Cut the file size by over half!
- Slightly changed the ending.
- Removed that oil barrel.
This story was never intended to be long or in depth. My goal in making this was definitely realized.
That thought in mind, I don't think I'll be putting a whole lot of time into adding to The Rift. I know it's short and the story is vague and the ending doesn't answer everything, but that's how it was designed.
I may make the ending longer or add a bit more to the story in the near future, but after that I think I'll let it stay and spend time working on my full-length custom story.
Thanks so much for playing my story! I really appreciate all the feedback.

I appreciate it! Thank you.
Adding another update (1.2)! This should fix the rest of the monster issues and adds to the story.
"FATAL ERROR could not load script file 'custom_stories/Rift/maps/3_monster.hps'! main (188, 2) : ERR : No matching signatures to 'AlertEnemyOfPlayerPresence(string@&)' "
HELLLLP! :D :D :D I wanna progress!!! :D
Were you able to get it working?
You don't have the Amnesia 1.3 update! Download that and you'll be able to progress.
That's why I put a disclaimer in both the he mod description and the Read Me that you need the 1.3 update. ;)
