Impressive work, very detailed. Has a lot of different types of scares. Overall ambience is very well done.
The Good:
- Level design was impressive, the mansion parts were well done, as was the cellar.
- A very wide range of scares, from the best of jumpscares to the most creepy of ambience noises.
- Good use of the assets provided by the HPL Editor. I personally really liked the Library event with the portal. Very innovative and well implemented.
The Bad:
- The story is extremely flimsy, if it's even there at all at times.
- Whilst looking at Loki's Portal from the window, the building looked very bland. It's a shame, seeing as how well decorated everything else is.
- The part where you get taken to the Prison was extremely predictable, the scriptedness of the event more or less murdered my immersion.
And The Buggy:
- In the Prison, there is one of the low dungeon windows that you can view the jail cells from. If the player were to crouch in there for a better look, the ground plane extends too far into the window, trapping the player and forcing him/her to restart.
- Aside from a very few minor texture glitches, I have nothing else to mention.
The Verdict:
Very well done, nicely decorated, with a well designed castle and impressive scares and well used assets. Though the story is the only thing this Custom Story is lacking. Which is too bad, because if that had been good as well, this CS would have been a straight ten.
