Reviews - The Interrogation Mod for Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Pretty good, not the best one out there but it has a certain charm to it. Certainly some nice variability with puzzles (not the same old key/door puzzles over and over).

Overall, the main flaw in my opinion is that it isn't presented as serious as it maybe should have been (death continuing to say "Epic" and "Awesome" or when he says "by the way" it is shown in the subtitles as "btw"). Also (when you play as the detective) you're missing some welders on the stairs and the detective doesn't have subtitles when he speaks.

tl;dr Good story but some errors (probably from rushing it out to meet a deadline), get past those and it earns itself a 7/10

It needs a lot of work, as there seem to be many bugs, such as dresser drawers through walls, programmed events not executing correctly, wall and floor anomalies, etc. The autosaving is a bonus, though. Necessary, I might add. The voice acting is...Terrible. Well, the male voice actor, anyway. The female actor was livable.

The biggest problem I had was the plot. It makes it seem like you're trying to avoid death, or consequently, you ACTUALLY die... However, there were two instances where you are forced to die in order to progress. :\

I would highly recommend throwing a 'bad end' upon death, if feasible, and taking out the forced deaths, if the plot is sticking with the whole 'you die, you DIE' motif. Additionally, you may want to 'clean' your map of bugs, etc. Should this happen, I could probably grit my teeth at the voiced dialogue in the next chapter and play it, if it is released.

I look forward to the improvements, should they happen.

I must say that am impressed the work you got into this one, I really liked the voice acting!I enjoyed the well part, somehow it reminded me of the ring :p
The negative side: well some events seemed to force the player to choose the path like the house in smoke I felt forced to lock the door breaking my immersion. Aside from that it was a rly good custom story :)

I really didn't go for this one. Confusing and frustrating with poor voice acting. It's super unique, but it didn't work for me.

I usually give high notes even if i experience problems, bugs, and such. but, no, i did not enjoy playing this custom story, I give 4 points for the poem, that's it.

I hate to give a rating this low, but I didn't even ENJOY playing this mod. The use of custom music was fantastic, and the voice acting was a nice touch (albeit annoying at times) - but the sheer lack of direction and overall buggyness of the game ruined it for me. I had to reload probably 8 or 9 times just to finish the game, due to getting stuck behind things just from normal exploration, or key items getting stuck as well. Reloading the game would sometimes prevent events from triggering, causing me to have to restart from the beginning.

The last portion of the game where you're in the woods basically made me quit and not finish it for a few days, because I was BORED. Please, add some better direction in the next mod. I wanted to like this! Great imagination behind it, meh execution.

I liked it! Had a good mesh of comedy (from 'Death') and scariness/creepiness (The lady is a brute!?) to keep me satisfied. Also, WTF was with the random statue flying in the forest? lol

My review is a 9 BECAUSE it was so short, and numerous bugs, but besides that, my brain is impressed.

A bit more difficult than the other custom stories. Probably gives it a more realistic feal but can become frustrating. Ex: When the house was on fire it took me 4 deaths to make stiars out of boxes and find the drill.
