Where time swirls and twists and things are always in motion, lies a safe heaven of travellers from across the known and unknown universe, a place in existence since the dawn of all cosmos. Those who lived to tell the tale gather here, like fireflies, exchanging fables of their greatest journeys in faraway lands and realms..
Halloween story is good. Profound decay is also good. Both are good.
As usual Kira's mod is something very good in all aspects. Level design is very nice, gameplay and puzzles too and also story is interesting.
Looks great, has a lot of good monster encounter moments, however puzzles became a bit frustrating near the end as I failed to find any logic in some of them and it kinda ruined it for me. Besides that it's a nice CS.
Scary
+ music and sounds
+ simple, yet thoughtful level/puzzle design
+ original (unlike many amnesia copycat stories)
+ entertaining
- somewhat short (1 big map)
- annoying rather than scary monsters
Nicely done my friend. U gimme some motivate to back to some moddy-moddy things :)
Greet :)
Positives:
- Level design is excellent and barely looks like the original map
- A lot of custom content and music
- Good storyline
Negatives:
- Not very scary at all
- Overuse of monsters
Level design: 8/10
Lacks particles and details here and there, and the laboratory area looks a bit too similiar to the original amnesia. Overall though, the level design is excellent.
Story: 9/10
Somewhat vague, but it's excusable since this was made as one map only for the anniversary mod.
Music and sounds: 8/10
Not a lot of sounds used, and the music would sometimes change frequently due to the different monsters used (I'm guessing), but I still liked the music for the most part. Fits this mod great.
Puzzles: 9/10
Very creative and well done, with a few exceptions. Like, I knew I had to combine blood and a gland. So I got a gland and went up only to then find out "haha sucker, you need more than 1 gland, get your *** back down there".
Creativity: 8/10
Quite a lot of creativity shown. A few secret spots here and there, custom models and even vanilla models used in creative ways. I wish you would have shown this everywhere though. Again, the laboratory area looks way too similiar to the original content.
Bugs and performance: 9/10
Almost bug free far as I could tell. Only things which are, well, not bugs specifically, but are kinda silly, is when you climb up the tree/pillar after getting the glands. It looks like I'm climbing in the air ^^. If possible, move the ladder area closer to the pillar.
Also, a monster broke the laboratory door, making the pig key useless.
Another tiny thing is when your sanity reaches 0 while you're in the water, and the water "disappears" for a moment.
Scares: 3/10
This was actually really bad in this mod. There was almost no build up at all. I saw a monster right away. From then on forward, I encountered one or two, (on rare occasions even three) monsters constantly with almost no breaks at all whatsoever.
Do you know why the original Amnesis have hub areas, like the one after the water monster chase? To give us some relief. If we are under constant threat, it's no longer scary. It becomes annoying and frustrating.
I have seen average "you have amnesia get out" mods be scarier than this, because at least they know not to overuse the monsters. Pacing, work more on it.
Conclusion:
If you can ignore the annoying overuse of monsters, the mod is really great, and pretty much the only map I enjoyed from the anniversary mod (which apparently is no longer up). Many of the other maps were like, exactly the same as the original maps, but you had a time limit on you, or you had to talk with some underdeveloped character for a while and that was it.
This one, for the most part, don't look like the original content at all. You put effort into it, and it really shows off.
8/10 - Very good
The design, the story and the tricks are great! Also, no glitches! :p
Best map in the 6 years Amnesia mod. Also really special which just shows how good KiraImmortal is.
Probably one of the greatest modders in Amnesia of all time.
little short but it was somewhat tough to figure out which made it longer
