Victor Ryland, the head priest of the local church, is on his way home after a particularly tiring day. Hearing cries of anguish in the distance, he rushes to see what is happening. When he arrives at the crossroads, he finds nothing but a pool of blood. Hearing a noise, he spins around, only to see talons lash out at him. The power of the blow causes him to crumple to the ground. As the world darkens around him, he can hear the sounds of battle as his kinsmen battle against this unknown adversary.
For a first attemp, this custom story is quite good.
The story, if not excellent or original, it is well crafted.
Some maps are dramatically huge, it take time to get used. And there are a couple of places that seems to not be used for anything.
The are almost no jumpscares, and thats good...but also, there no scares at all.
Amnesia is a game made to use psychological and visceral Horror. So the scares needs to be elaborated properly.
The atmosphere have its moments. There are good events and scenes, but then the tension almost dissapeard completely. This hinders the fear factor of the mod, so it needs to be rebuilded.
The multiple path is an excellent idea and the multiple ending make it really enjoyable and bring a lot of replayability.
In conclusion, this mod is unique in the design. It have plenty of good ideas. The maps maybe are not the best, but this is balanced with the great concept behind. And for a first entry, it is a success.
I hope the developer continue on bringing good quality custom stories, with more enphasis in the details. If this things are clear, then we can expect great achievements in Amnesia Custom Stories from this developer
