A story of doctor Albert Wennelmann who goes to a journey to find his fatally ill brother Alfred, who is lost somewhere in the castle of Wennelmann. The Wennelmann castle´s current count has claimed the ownership of the castle by conspiring with some means that no one knows about. Nothing is what it seems.
10/10
Amazing. One of the most elaborate total conversions/custom stories I have ever played. There are multiple endings too by the looks of it, not sure how to save Albert, but yep. Lots of monster encounters and there seems to be quite a few custom monsters, although I didn't even dare to look at most of them, haha. I didn't die once other than scripted events, so I pat myself on the back. In this custom story, you will be faced with one of the most confusing map layouts to date, a really big mansion that you have to explore, discover its secrets, find the keys and find your missing friend. Lots of exploration, and a bit of puzzle solving required, although the game does assist you a lot in regards of what you're supposed to be doing, which is really appreciated, of course you will have to look for a lot of items yourself as well. I'd even say that this conversion is DLC worthy, due to how well it was crafted, and it is actually one of the "scariest" Amnesia stories I have played, due to the lack of Danger music, and just hoping you don't die, it really adds to the tension in a lot of scenarios. ******* bravo, one of the best, if you're not into finding objects and basically going on a wild goose chase, then don't play it. But yeah, that's it really, 10/10.

That was awesome! The monster encounters were unexpected and well played. I failed to save Albert the first couple of times because I didn't see the lever and it was right there in plain sight, lol.
The mansion looks very good, but it's really nothing but key quests to show you the next room, with no story to speak of. Just running back and forth in poorly lit hallways. The maps are way too small. I hate loading screens and actually dread clicking on those doors because it breaks the flow of the game all the time. No wonder enemies have to be silent - who needs closets when you're never more than a sledgehammer's throw from a level exit?
Decided to give this CS another try recently and I didn't had any problems with maps this time so I've finished it
I must say this is one of the best CS I've ever played: no dungeons settings except for the final parts (seriously, those are overused) but instead a great part of the CS happens in a mansion. Love it
The silent monsters were PERFECT! They kept me on my toes whenever I heard - or thought I heard - something. It seems that the monsters became scary again, like in the original amnesia... but WORSE (in a good way)!
The attic part was very well done as well. Imagine my face when, after dodging a monster, I found that the door was busted xD. Better yet, imagine my face when I found out that I would need to go there again because I've missed something LOL! Very few CS can make me feel that hopeless I must tell you.
My only complaints are: a little trouble finding some rooms like the knightroom and I think there was little oil to how big is the place and the options you have to explore
But other than that, hats off to your CS. Really enjoyed it ;D
As a final result I finished this mod yesterday after trying it fifth time and all I can say I really liked it and these guys are making really effort on this one.
Now the review:
Positives:
- Lighting was pretty good, billboards okay
- Scares yes "No sound monsters" damn scary
- Storytelling pretty simple, but needs a little bit of more work
- Original sounds, interesting and entertaining
- Creativity with mapping
Negatives:
- Too many patches I know it's not ready and bugs free version, but still disappointing to go through that many times to reach the end, I can't even decide if I wanna (save the guy)
- I have to resolve from the beginning that annoying (black screen bug)
- Key hunting, no puzzle originality so much, but make's sense (key puzzling, better one).
That's pretty much it. Thanks for making this it was really good.
Can't wait next project, I love this mapping and how big the mansion was overall.
I say 8/10!
Nice map
Freaky quiet monsters owned ;d
this one is one of the best!!! so many keys...it's crazy! but I haven't played so great custom story, like this, for very long time. currently on 4th-5th place in my most favorite (can't decide which one is better)
