You are Charles Longden, an archaeologist studying Minneburg, a German castle abandoned due to recent cave-ins. You are sleeping late one morning when you are shaken awake by a tremor running through the castle. There is no sign of your partner, Jane. Where has she gone? Developed by Damascus and Crisosphinx. "The Great Work" is a Custom Story taking place in the Amnesia: TDD universe, with an all-new original storyline. I will be making use of atmosphere and suspense to inflict fear, and detailed texts and dialogue to present an intricate and engaging storyline. Warning: Some of the puzzles are very difficult; they will require knowledge, logic, attention to detail, and great patience. Look forward to the following features: All new models; all new enemies; over seven hours of gameplay; original voice talent; branching storylines; and four completely different endings!
It's a freaking masterpiece! I beta test all the chapters and I was speechless when I reach the end. It's damn long as it should be, interesting, entertaining, really scary, atmosphere is top-notch! I have nothing bad to say about this one.
Everyone should try it and love it right away! One of the best Amnesia Custom Stories easily!
It shouldn't be a mod, it should be an entire game.
I don't have enough words to describe how awesome and good this Custom Story is. It should be mod of the year.
This mod...just...this mod. What a sensational work of art this was. I have never been so scared out of my wits since I played through the original Amnesia campaign. In fact, I would honestly consider this the unofficial sequel to the original story (especially since it takes place in the same universe). The new monsters were scary as all hell, the new music and sounds were fantastic, the voice acting was surprisingly well done, the story kept me interested the whole time (which never happens in custom stories for me)...absolute best custom story ever.
I gave it a 9 and not a 10 because of a few reasons...
-The difficulty of the puzzles...some of these were just plain unsolvable even with the notes, and I found myself having to watch the solutions almost a dozen times, which I never have to do in this game.
-The COMPLETE AND UTTER lack of oil. Half the time I was blindly wandering the halls without being able to see a friggin thing, despite trying to conserve oil the entire time.
-In Chapter 2, when I picked up a key, the description read "it's another key, numbnuts." That immediately broke any sense of immersion I had, and that really should be changed.
All in all though, this is still by far the absolute best custom story I've ever played for this game. Awesome job!
I did a playthrough of the whole thing, so check it out to see me freak out and scream a bunch! Youtube.com
Brilliant mod. Great storyline, long campaign( I'm not even halfway through yet) and very difficult puzzles. More mods like this are needed.
This was such a great custom story, only once in a while do you come across such a gem. Such a great attention to detail, and the scares were perfectly placed. By the time I finished, I was shaking in my chair.
Well Done Sir...
Okay, why is this not above a 9/10? I can't comprehend White Night being above this, or most other custom stories for that matter. Weak story, no closure, painful voice acting, and only a few enemy encounters. This story felt like professionally made. Bonus points for the new enemies and music. I especially liked the voicing for the cultists in the cloaks. The part where I was walking around in the dark passage ways in Chapter 1, and my latern died, and I was seemingly teleported to the room with the one candle blew my ******* mind. I really liked how you made us creep through dark hallways with little or no oil a lot. Getting around those golems had my constantly jumping. The door with multiple keys was interesting. There is not one area that this custom story lacked in. All those involved in the making of this mod, I thank you for creating this masterpiece, and I think that, if you already haven't, should get a career in game developement. This is, without a doubt, the best Amnesia custom story.
Awesome story! The music, monsters, atmosphere. Everything!
well... This mod is actually amazing, me and my friend played this together and it took weeks for us to complete and when we did get to the end we were on the verge of tears because we didn't want the custom story to end. I do believe that this mod has a better storyline than the actual dark descent, unlike the dark descent put me on edge right from the start rather than just towards the end. All the scares were placed perfectly, always when you least expected it which added to the paranoia. The new monsters are amazing we agreed that they are more frightening than the original monsters and the fact that they have their own music and script to add on to that is awesome, I would be proud if I were you. Thanks for such a great custom story, I would definitely recommend this mod.
Excellent work. There's a lot more detail I could go into, but I'll keep this one short. I was pleased, and I look forward to any other custom story you release.
Some really hard puzzles but a great mod and long as hell since I'm still on chapter 1.
