Hellsound Dreams is a horror themed mod based on Nightmare House 2 mod source code.
Well this is an odd mod, its just a collection of maps trying to be spooky, with some technical elements of the NH2 mod.
Then i think what defines this mod precisely is the word "confussion", as it offers no challenges of combat or anything like that then this mods centers in stupid "go find the key" puzzles, that's probbably the most plain and lame feature of this mod: go find the key, stupid zombies, some guys with pistols and smg's and that's all.
Overal this is a very low release and i wouldn't try it again if the authors make some more silly and dull maps as this ones i waste.
As for the good points, i guess the only cool feature in this work is the new tarantula-big black spider replacement for headcrabs.....
good one!
BU!
really nice done mod. needs better mapping but textures and story so far are pretty good. deserves more
Not a bad mod, but this maybe need more work in some aspects.
6//10
need more balancing and poligons. im gonna give a strong 7 for this because the ecvellent color correction use.
This was pretty good. Survival-horror atmosphere with typical survival-horror combat. Only three weapons, one of which has a reload sequence that doesn't match the sound effects at all. I'm still not sure why, but that's a huge pet peeve of mine. Anyway, there's quite a bit of puzzle solving. A couple of the puzzles, however, are maddeningly unclear. Aside from that, a seasoned gamer can figure things out. Plot is basically non-existent and was probably intended to be interpreted entirely by the player, which I consider to be a rather lazy tactic. Give us something solid to work our imaginations around.
Wellp, I cant clearly say its good or bad mod, it is smsn between, cuz it have awesome spooky atmosphere (reminds me of Dark Wood campaign for L4D2, lab and prison maps), maps are well designed (expect some maze-like maps) and NH2 models (and not only models) that fits with this mod. But it have some of brainfuck puzzles in first and second chapter, that I didnt solved without internet, like piano one. Btw its compensated with what I said before and, especially, with police station location and police officers as enemy (sadly, there is no SWAT officers)
Ah, and BIG BLACK spiders, yes, ofcource.
All in all (its just another brick in the wall) its not bad modification, Ill give it 7 out of 10, I think.
(but if we didnt mind NH2 stuff and police, its like 4-5 out of 10)
Very ****** mod, dont play it, coz I said so.
Good mod.. some puzzles a little obscure.. and If you think something should work.. don't give up. Keep trying.
