A brooding sanitarium holds an ancient power that is searching for a way to regain its hold over a New England community.
It was a pretty good mod, had its rather scary moments.
I would definitely recommend this mod for Lovecraft fans.
A hidden gem in the vast sea of Source mods. Anyone making judgment on Interns Story by name alone is in for a pretty serious shock booting this up. I had no clue this would be such a compelling deep lore driven mod, Inspired by Lovecrafts works too! Love, Love, Loved it!
10/10.
It's ok. Fans of Lovecraftian lore would like it more than a Half-Life 2 player. There's no combat in the first or second parts, just searching, puzzles and sneaking. The third part has some gunfight, but not a lot. Very story rich. Dialogue, however, is very difficult to hear. So, turn the voice volume up if you can.
i like it
This mod did a really good job in terms of storytelling and gameplay. Although I liked it a lot, I think the atmosphere could have been more darker. Somehow, I never really felt scared while playing this mod.
good story
If there's one thing you want from any Cthulhu inspired game (whether it be board game, PC game or whatever) its atmosphere. This has it. Loads of it. Everything just fits into the Lovecraft dynamic and gives that eerie sense of fear and helplessness you get from reading the books.
Technically it has some issues, but I think these are down to the age of the Half Life engine being modded rather than any fault of the modder. That being said, these don't spoil the story at all. Definitely one to play if you have any interest in Cthulhulian mythos at all.
My god, just played part 3, it really did get the Mission Improbable treatment. It's that good. Everything has been improved, mapping, story, gameplay. I'll leave my review redux on here to grant context to the improvement:
Mapping: Massive improvement, you get explore the levels that appeared in previous chapters, except they have been fleshed out to much more liveable spaces. Few ares were a bit too dark but I managed.
Story: It's got a plot! It's got an ending! It's got character! It's got cohesion!(despite being Lovecraftian), already infinitely better than most mods. Voiceacting was excellent too, quite a rarity for a mod.
Gameplay: Exploration mixed with some combat, story tidibits, and puzzle solving. Kinda buggy here and there, but much more stable than its previous chapters.
Verdict: PLAY IT!!!
There has been only one other mod I played besides this that involved any Cthulhu mythos, it was bad, this was good.
The mapping isn't super special but it was sufficient to maintain my suspension of disbelief.
As for the story, I am dying for some resolution, so I guess you have success in having me invested in the plot.
One gripe though, the second to the last map did not transition well into the last map, I had to launch the console to fix that.
Other than that, this is a very solid mod. It gave me vibes reminiscent of the Random Journey too.
